Very helpful

As per usual I received my daily scam likely calls. I usually ignore them but I wanted to entertain them today. To my surprise I had a scam call about a old debt that I filed on my bankruptcy. I immediately called and spoke to my bankruptcy attorney Joe. He answered all my questions and reassured me ...that I will be okay. Always contact your attorney if you have questions even if it's years later. I'm glad I did.

Beyond Grateful

When I finally set my pride aside and realized I needed help, Joe and his team stepped up and provided me with not only answers but explanations and terms I could really understand. Each time I met with Joe or a member of his team, I was treated with respect and dignity. When I thought I had nowhere... to go and could no longer answer my phone, Joe made the calls stop and I could start to live. I would recommend Joe and his awesome team to anyone who feels like I felt.

Outstanding Bankruptcy Lawyer

Before we met with Joe, we were stressed to the max because we had so many bills to pay, debt collectors coming after us for money we didn’t have. After meeting with him and his friendly team they gave us the sign a relief we desperately needed. Thank you Joe and his team for a great experience and h...elping us get rid of $30k worth of debt and stress. Highly recommend Joe!

Non Judgemental

After retiring from the USAF and going through a lengthy and costly divorce I got into some serious financial difficulty. Before I knew it I was over 30K in debt. I had to do something and quickly. I contacted Joes office and spoke with an extremely polite and helpful receptionist. She quickly schedu...led me an appointment and I went to see Joes team. From the first moment I walked into his office I felt comfortable and I could tell they wanted to help be with my situation. I didn't some paperwork and provided Joe all the documents requested and within a few weeks my case was filed and the phone calls from collectors had stopped. I am finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Joe helped me understand the entire process and that I wasn't a "bad person" for having to file for bankruptcy. I have gotten quick replies to all my questions and am looking forward to starting my new life debt free. Thank you Joe for everything you and you team have done for this old veteran.

Exemplary Service

I slipped on the ice one cold icy day and broke my back; my life changed forever. I had the perfect job, and as long as I was willing to work hard; I could make as much money as I was capable of making. The money I had saved went quickly. Soon I had more debt than money. Creditors, at first, were sym...pathetic, then they turned hostile and cold. I didn't know what to do. I decided to file for bankruptcy protection. When I walked into Jeppson Law Office I didn't know what to expect; so I listened to what Mr Jeppson had to say. After the preliminaries I hired Joe Jeppson. Kind, considerate and a knowledgeable and brilliant mind. He walked me through the entire process. He never left me second guessing or wondering what was next. 'Exemplary Service' from start to finished. I knew when we walked out of that courtroom that I had been blessed with an Attorney who not only knew law, but cared about me. He had honestly and genuinely done what was best for me. For that I will forever be grateful.and would recommend him to anyone who needs 'Exemplary Service'.
