Consider reliability and efficiency

Hi there, I live in Louisiana, My credit was bad and desperately in need of a loan but I won't be able to get the loan due to my credit score. I read several reviews about Frank of Dhl Service Credit Repair and decided to give him a trial. He helped me raise my credit score to 800 in a couple of days.... He removed all negative items and I also got approved of mortgage loan within few days. If you filed tax refund and got paid little, he can also help you with tax amendments. He’s fast, affordable and reliable when it comes to hacking. Want the same help? Email: dhlhacks (at) g ma il (dot) com TikTok: dhlcreditservices Telegram: dhlservices

Honest-educated-integrity

It’s rare in today’s world to find an attorney like Mr. William Cherbonnie. After calling more than 15 law offices—each one asking $300 or more just for a consultation—I finally reached him, and the experience was night and day. Instead of demanding money up front, Mr. Cherbonnie immediately showed w...hat true professionalism and integrity look like. He not only took the time to listen, but he gave me a clear, step-by-step plan on exactly what I needed to do. He was honest enough to tell me I didn’t even need to hire him, saving me both time and money. That kind of honesty is priceless. Right away, I could tell he was a man of character. He went straight to the point, asked the right questions, and spoke to me as if we had been friends for 20 years. I had a unique citation issue and he gave me the guidance I needed without hesitation, without pressure, and without charging a dime. The world needs more attorneys—and more people in general—like Mr. Cherbonnie. He is the definition of integrity in action, and a reminder that genuine, good-hearted professionals still exist. If I ever need an attorney in the future, I know exactly who I’m calling. Thank you, Mr. Cherbonnie, for your honesty, generosity, and for restoring my faith in what it means to be a true professional. God bless you

Fights for the people!

I consulted with Bill regarding a potential case of being defrauded by a large local business. His wisdom is clearly based on over 50 years of legal experience, but his compassion is what sets him apart. I've you've been wronged, Bill is the one you want fighting for you.

The Best Advice

I owned a business for over 50 years. A combination of bad decisions and financial disasters ended in a situation where my revenues could not satisfy debt. I had no idea what to do. I contacted Bill Cherbonnier for advice and consultation. He patiently and carefully reviewed and reviewed my financ...ial status. I hired Bill to represent me in resolving my financial dilemma. This has been an adventure that I've been guided through by the best Bankruptcy Attorney. Bill respresents me with a no nonsense, professional manner that is amazing. I highly recommend Mr. William Cherbonnier for professional and complete debt consultation.

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.
