Posted by anonymous | March 21, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Highly recommended!

Following a period of declining health and facing a mountain of debt, I contacted a Bankruptcy attorney (big Yellow Pages ad) and after a consultation decided to file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. My case was somewhat complicated due to family real estate holdings. After many months my case was not going w...ell and the attorney I had hired seemed to lose interest in seeing my case to closure. I was losing hope and contacted Mr. Kugler after being given his name by another attorney on Avvo. That was a great decision! At the initial consultation, he really put my mind at ease, giving me a much better perspective of things. He agreed to take my case and assisted me in negotiating with the Trustee. He saw my case to conclusion. He is very knowledgable and handled my case with great professionalism. My only regret is that I did not contact him at the beginning of my case. I am now well on the way to financial recovery and am very thankful for all he did for me.

The extra mile and then some

Bankruptcy is an often demoralizing process faced by millions of Americans, In our case, exorbitant AHA market insurance premiums and related heaping mound of medical bills pushed our family over the brink. Bruce Kugler was there for us every step of the way, walking us through every detail of our CH... 7 case. A lesser attorney would have switch us to a CH 13 immediately. Kugler put in the time, effort, and professional expertise to represent us all the way through our case. He is a true professional with a heart. We are grateful beyond words to have Bruce Kugler in our corner.

Personal & Thorough

I hired Bruce Kugler for handling my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in 2013. Filing bankruptcy can be an incredibly stressful experience, but Bruce took his time and made sure all my bases were covered with all the paperwork. Bruce was extremely friendly, personable, and supportive throughout the process, and ...was available for questions at any time of day. He even followed up with me after the bankruptcy was complete to make sure no other issues had surfaced. I highly recommend hiring Bruce Kugler as your lawyer.

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.
