Posted by anonymous | March 31, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Highly Recommend for Bankruptcy Assistance

High-level recap: The Kansas Bar Association referral services connected me with Jeff. Having worked closely with him for a little over two years now, I find him WONDERFUL to work with. Reliable and reasonably-priced. More Detail... A few years ago I mismanaged my finances and, despite having a w...ell-paying job, I found myself in significant, unsecured debt. I was struck in a cycle of solely making the minimum payments each month and not making any real progress to being debt-free. Jeff was patient and thorough in guiding me through evaluating my finance particulars, as well as educating me on the legal options for debt resolution. I was first approved for a Chapter 13 debt restructuring, on which I made payments until I became unemployed about 6 months ago. Unable to secure new employment, my financial circumstances became such that I could no longer make the Chapter 13 payments as required. I shared my concerns with Jeff and he revisited my case. Jeff was prompt to get back with me. With my job loss and reduced income, I decided to pursue Chapter 7. I knew that I wanted to retain Jeff as he had done such a great job with the initial motion a couple of years ago. He was fair on the fee and is leading me through the process at this time. THANK YOU JEFF for being not only a great attorney, but a pleasant and kind human as well.

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.
