Desperately needed to file

I needed to file bankruptcy after being left in the lurch by my previous lawyer, who departed the state to work elsewhere. She recommended Mr. Douglas, who agreed to work for the same price as the previous lawyer. I have no problems with Mr Douglas’ work. However, his front office help gave me the ...impression that by March of 2020, I was finished providing income information (I had 3 jobs, 2 of which were online) and we would be moving forward by the end of March. I had already told lawyers for the companies that were suing me that the bankruptcy would be filed by the end of March. It wasn’t. In fact, they kept asking for more income information through June, which they wanted in a specific online format that I couldn’t seem to provide instead of giving it to them at the office because of COVID-19. This was very frustrating and irritating. The bankruptcy was finally filed at the beginning of July 2020, and the hearing was at the end of July. I had to pay extra money after the hearing to the court, which I don’t remember being told about up front. All in all, it took over 2 years to get the whole thing done from the time I started with the first lawyer. If nothing else, it proved to me that I never want to go through this again.

Thank you for the review. Unfortunately, COVID affected everyone. Everything from Courthouses closing, to law firms and the Trustee's offices ensuring employees had proper tools and support to work from home 100% of the time, updating and training for processes to support the 100% remote environment. Thankfully we were setup to work from home part-time and our response to the pandemic was much quicker than some.

Stress Free and Affordable

If you are considering bankruptcy this is THE BEST place to go! The emotional toll of financial struggle and the consideration of bankruptcy can be ominous and overwhelming but this firm will be by your side through it all. My questions were answered well and in a timely matter, fees were discussed u...p front and they had a variety of payment options... I don’t have enough words to explain how great this team is!

Quick and easy

One in person meeting and about 45 minutes and it was taken care of. He explained how things would go, we met with the trustee and it was over. Really nice guy and handled well.

Avvo Rating

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.
