Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Terrance Leeders is very straight forward, professional, and helpful. I am in the beginning of Chapter 7 and feel completely confident in his help so far. He has always answered my calls and emails in a timely manner.

No integrity

I hired Terry Leeders to represent me in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I paid him in full and he has yet to file bankruptcy. He promised on 2 occasions he would have it filed in 1-2 days. It's been a month since last promise and he wont even return my calls. He has all my paperwork and no reason to have no...t done as promised! Steer away!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
