Posted by TJ | January 19, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7

The first lawyer I spoke with said I couldn't file a 7 and had to go with a 13. Please don't take one lawyers opinion because after visiting with Coleman Ellis I found out the first lawyer was wrong. Coleman Ellis got me out of debt quickly by qualifying me with Chapter 7 even though my income was wa...y above the state median. I had almost 30k in credit card debt and needed a new car, with no money left over to pay for it. Coleman Ellis had all the answers. It was a very quick filing and my credit report never reflected a late payment on any credit cards. Everyone was notified quickly, it took 3 months and it was over. With a positive trade line (car loan) reporting during the bankruptcy, I had a 692 score when every thing was complete. To file a Chapter 7 and still have a score that is fair and close to good is a miracle. Because Coleman Ellis acted so quickly I was able to salvage some of my score. If you can no longer pay your debts, I recommend you hire this gentleman. I am very grateful.

Excellant Services

I always received first class service. I knew I could call and receive an answer immediately. All my questions and then some were quickly dealt with. Friendly office, would go back again for a different problem. And definitely would recommend to others.

Excellent Experience

My husband and I hired Mr. Ellis to handle a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Having to file was not an easy for us and we were embarrassed. Coleman and Vicki immediately put us at ease. Coleman listened to us and was very understanding of our situation. Our case was handled confidentially and they helped us ...through the process. If we had any questions, Coleman was a phone call away. If he wasn't available, he always returned our calls. We highly recommend Ellis Coleman.

Bankruptcy

During this difficult time for filing bankruptcy was extremely confusing and if it wasn't for Mr. Ellis and his right hand Doreen, I probably gone nuts. They were understanding and a super help to getting this done in a great matter of time. Everything went great and have had a huge weight lifted o...ff my shoulders. I will definately refer friends to you all, if it become necessary. Thank you again for all your support and knowledge. God bless you all. Have a great new year. P.S. Doreen your a blessing!

Coleman Ellis review

All my questions or concerns were answered within a day by Mr. Ellis, or a member of his staff. A appreciate how thorough Mr. Ellis was, which made the transition easier and not complicated. I would definitely hire Mr. Coleman again, and recommend him.
