Bad choice

Attorney failed to reaffirm our mortgage. As a result our timely mortgage payments were not reported to the credit bureaus and we have no credit score. We have no recourse at all due to his negligence. Reaffirmation must take place within 60 days of creditors meeting. It has to be applied for. He did... nothing. Never advised us we would need to reach out to our lender. We put our faith in this attorney and he didn't do his job. Stay away. Find someone else.

Unprofessional

They do not answer phone calls or emails in a timely matter even if your case is time sensitive. They took forever to file my bankruptcy case even though they initially told me it would only take 3 days. Find a better lawyer.

Very knowledgeable lawyer

Chad was very thorough in reviewing our case and advised my family on all of our options so we could make the best decision for us. He took the time to explain everything and uncovered options the previous lawyer didn't. My family and I highly recommend calling him if you need legal advice.

Bankruptcy Helper!

Bankruptcy is not fun to think about but when you find yourself in a situation that requires it, a good lawyer is someone you want on your side. Chad is that lawyer. He is helpful and knowledgeable and explains procedures in plain English. He was there for all the steps that needed to be done and ...answered all my questions (and I had a LOT of them). I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in need of a bankruptcy lawyer!
