You cannot go wrong with a lawyer this great!

Ted was an amazing lawyer. He was very admit to explain everything to me and worked with me when I couldn’t get certain paperwork to him. This was not an easy case for him, there were always curve balls but he prevailed and he continuously took care of me. When I’d cry in his office due to stress or ...at my meeting with my trustee, he didn’t hesitate to grab the tissues and push me to go on. He always made sure that what we did was in my best interest. And he was reasonable with the payment process. This is the very first lawyer I’ve ever had to hire myself and it went so well for me. I highly encourage you to use Ted to fill with for any of your bankruptcy needs. If I wouldn’t respond to an email, he’d be calling me a few hours later, to make sure I got the message. He would send me reminders for meeting and appointments. He even got a long well with my mom. He went through the process with me and told me what the best option was for me. You will not go wrong hiring Ted. He even assured me that at the age of 23, there are many people my age or younger that actually file for bankruptcy. And that was so reassuring for me.

Excellent service!

Ted has been very helpful the entire process of our bankruptcy. He knew exactly what was best for our complicated situation. With our bankruptcy, we have to keep in contact with Ted for the entire 5-7 years with any and everything we do that is not the normal monthly bills. Thankfully this is include...d in our bankruptcy fees because we have had lots of changes and questions about changes during this period and Ted was very quick to respond, always worked hard to work for us and get us what we wanted, and even when we gave him very short notice, he got it done. We are very pleased with the services we have received! I have heard lots of bad stories from friends with other lawyers, so we feel very blessed that we found Ted.

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.
