Efficient, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable

Mr. Jeppson is the expert attorney we hoped to find. He helped us with guidance concerning a personal injury claim and we were able to have our mounting medical bills included in our Chapter 7 filing. Joe guided us through those aspects of the case which would have otherwise caused unnecessary stress... and worry. I would be remiss if failed to mention how friendly, efficient, and personable the support staff members have been.

Posted by Naiomi | October 05, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Chapter 13

When I realized my debt became unbearable and the stress was so overwhelming, I needed a way out. I contacted Jeppson Law Office, Joe reassured me that there was a way out. He went over my options and we made the decision to file Chapter 13. I was extremely nervous about the process but with Joe, Kim... and not let me leave out Trish, hard work and diligence; I'm on my way to feeling the relief of getting control of my debt. I highly recommended Jeppson Law Office, they have been so tentative to every question and worry I had. I never had a call or email that never went unanswered. Kim was the greatest, no offense to any one else. She was so understanding when I would feel panicked, I really appreciate all the work that was put forth for my case. I know they had other cases but they made me feel, mine was the only one. Thank you guys. I would recommend Jeppson Law Office to anyone that is at their breaking point with dept. Let them give you a breath of fresh air. I can never thank you enough. Thanks

True Professional

Joe and Trish are both outstanding in their profession. Joe helped guide me thru the intricacies of a bankruptcy (ch7) without a hitch. Just finished the Meeting of Creditors and I was amazed at how smooth it went. Thanks Joe!

Quality Service!

I had the pleasure of speaking with Joe via telephone. Although our discussion was brief, I found him to be knowledgeable and trustworthy. He took the time to hear my story then simply gave casual advise, as though I were talking to a friend. He didn't try to to sell me on additional services or take... advantage. On the contrary, he suggested ways I could manage my problems personally and without further expense. If you're seeking an honest, direct, non-judgemental attorney, I highly recommend Joe Jeppson!

AMAZING ATTORNEY!!

I've had an ongoing attorney-client relationship with Joe for nearly 3 years now. He is fair, reasonable, knows the law incredibly well, never judges me for my past mistakes, explains things clearly, always returns phone calls and emails promptly, and is (remarkably) an attorney who actually cares ab...out me and my situation. Joe has helped, and continues to help, me figure out how to become more financially stable and self-sufficient. I honestly can't say enough positive things about him. I've had to hire or have contact with more than my fair share of attorneys over the last decade, and Joe is the ONLY attorney whose flaws I haven't figured out yet! If you need assistance with anything related to personal finance, Joe is the attorney you should hire! If you do your part to help advance your own case, he'll certainly do his part (and will probably think of ways to help that you didn't even know existed).

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.
