Posted by David and Linda Trice | June 04, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

A Great and Caring Attorney

We have used John twice, first when our small business failed and had to file for chapter 7 bankruptcy. Later an unexpected medical emergency with prolonged hospitalization without health insurance. This resulted in a lawsuit for over250k, With one phone call and a visit to our home, John institut...ed a chapter 13 bankruptcy plan to protect our assets. . Throughout the years, I have contacted John with all of my legal questions and concerns and every time he is willing to help. As rare as it is in todays landscape, Mr. Lentz is defiantly one of the guys.

Great attorney

John helped us through a tough time with our Chapter 7 bankruptcy, he explains everything very well and was easy to get ahold of anytime we had questions.

Really Great Person

John ended up helping me act as a creditor against my ex-husband after he filed for bankruptcy during the middle of our divorce. My ex-husband was attempting to discharge jointly shared assets in his bankruptcy, including our former marital home and tens of thousands of dollars in temporary alimony o...rdered through my divorce. John helped me to protect my house and assets and he even worked with my divorce attorney to coordinate their efforts on both ends. He saved my home and helped me figure out filing for bankruptcy, too. I can't say enough good things about him.

Honest and respectful individuals, very happy to found them !

John and his team went above and beyond helping with my bankruptcy. They sent me detailed paperwork with exactly what I needed to do. Brooke and Maddy were very friendly. They answered any and all questions in a very timely manner over the text message and over the email. John did an astonishing job ...with explaining what this paperwork was going to do, how it was going to affect me and others in the situation, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone to do it better. I appreciate them! I will be suggesting them to anyone that needs a lawyer! I will definitely be coming back to them for any other situation that could endure in the future!

Excellent Attorney!

I contacted John about my options. I initially found him on Google. He informed about the process of filing bankruptcy and what he could do for me. He was retained. He and his staff were very professional and informative every step of the way. When I had questions he had answers. The fact that John i...s responsive says a lot. I highly recommend John it definitely would use his services again.
