William G Cherbonnier Jr

Attorney William G. Cherbonnier is an experienced New Orleans based attorney who proved to me he is a genuine consumer advocate. My family and I were displaced during Hurricane Katrina. We suffered tremendous loses. During a series of unfortunate events we lost our New Orleans home to a bank, I will not name. Now, in 2019, the statute of limitations has expired on a particular 2006 debt I defaulted on during the Housing crisis of 2008. I called several law firms and attorneys seeking someone to represent me to have the debt canceled because the six-year statute of limitations has expired. It was frustrating. No attorney would give me the time of day unless I put up a retainer first. They gave the impression they couldn’t be bothered because there wasn’t enough profit in defending my rights as a consumer. Now, I’m not saying all attorneys are greedy, but the ones I spoke to left me with that impression. Then, I made a cold call to Mr. Cherbonnier’s office. He answered the phone, asked a few questions, then proceeded over the next 30 minutes to help me better understand my legal position and the pros and cons of my case. He was very generous with his deep knowledge and his valuable time. I had been under a tremendous amount of stress. Just speaking with someone about my problem that was so generous, kind and professional, gave me hope. Although I didn’t hire him—he said he’d love to take my case but his expenses traveling back and forth to my Parish would only add to my costs unnecessarily—he advised me instead to seek an attorney in the Parish where I live. Also, local relationships can be very important in some cases. Nevertheless, if I’m ever in need of an attorney in New Orleans, William G. Cherbonnier will be my first call. Trust that most lawyers would rather represent big banks. However, William G. Cherbonnier is an advocate for the average family. I highly recommend him!

I consulted Mr. Cherbonnier regarding a difficult situation with my aging parent. He was extremely understanding and compassionate and gave me direction and hope. I would recommend him to anyone.

I contacted William Cherbonnier because I was getting calls from what I thought was a debt collector and within minutes Mr. Cherbonnier found out that it was a scam and got my number removed from the call list. I was ready to start making payments to this collection agency and William Cherbonnier saved me thousands of dollars. He is definitely the type of lawyer you want and need. I will highly recommend William Cherbonnier. From Gisevius Family

The honesty and integrity of Bill Cherbonnier is unbelievable in today’s world but my free consultation in opening a succession would have cost me $2500 unrefundable had I hired the several attorneys I called prior to contacting Bill Cherbonnier. Bill was the only attorney who went above and beyond in my free consultation, that checked with the Court to see if a succession on my fathers estate had been open and it had open and possession was granted. He could had taken my $2500 and then told me this information but I thank him for his honesty because the other attorneys chose not to check with the Court before their retainer was paid in full. The gesture of honesty proved that all attorneys aren’t in it just for the money but truly care about the people they serve. Thanks again Bill - Sacramento CA

If you want the best of the best then I highly suggest Bill Cherbonnier. He and his team are experts in many fields of law. My experience with this firm far exceeded my expectations. I felt like I was being helped by my best friend rather than just some lawyer. He expended almost an hour to settle my issues in the first consultation for free. If in the future I ever need legal representation, I will keep going back to Bill Cherbonnier. I highly recommend Bill, you will not be disappointed.

I never thought I would find myself in the situation of needing a consumer protection lawyer. I, like many consumers today, went immediately to the web and tried to find a good lawyer. I can only thank heaven that I found William Cherbonnier. Retiring after 43 years, part of which I spent as a contract manager, I thought myself a good negotiator. After a parent passed, I found myself heir to a property that had a reverse mortgage. I immediately let the mortgage company know of my parent's passing and was told that I would have a year to settle the debt on the property. Although I could not seem to get written communications from them, I felt I understood what they required. Nine months into the process, unexpectedly, I was notified that they were foreclosing and they refused to negotiate with me at all. They immediately started adding many large fees to my payoff balance. I was totally intimidated by their cold legal stand. I had to get help. From my initial call, Mr Cherbonnier was very helpful, he personally accepted my calls and took the time to explain what the process should have been. He was supportive, attentive and passionate about my rights. He impressed me with his ability to negotiate for me. He responded to calls and emails in a timely manner and always made me feel that I was justified in my efforts. In a short timeframe, he had backed the mortgage company down and saved my family many thousands of dollars, something I could not do in 6 weeks of calling and writing. His fees were reasonable and well earned! Do not accept being mistreated by mortgage companies. Get yourself a lawyer. I whole heartedly recommend Mr Cherbonnier to you. (January, 2015)

I was embarrassed at the state of my financial situation and was even more embarrassed after the realization that my only true option to regain control of my finances was to file for bankruptcy. Bill Cherbonnier was compassionate to my situation and treated me with the utmost respect during this most difficult time in my life. Bill was ALWAYS available to answer any questions I had and I always felt that he was genuinely interested in me as a person and not just me as a client. To give an example of this, I called Bill this morning with a questions I had pertaining to my bankruptcy that took place over 3 years ago ......we spoke on the phone for almost 30 minutes FREE OF CHARGE. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone considering filing for bankruptcy to contact Bill Cherbonnier.

I hired Mr. Cherbonnier to assist with a serious financial matter. I found him to be professional and courteous. His charges were reasonable and he was highly effective in resolving my issue. I was pleasantly suprised with what he was able to accomplish. He has earned my highest recommendation.

Mr Cherbonnier has an incredible wealth of knowledge of Louisiana bankruptcy and business law. His professional free consultation was extremely helpful ,and guided me to the proper course of action for my current and future financial health. I highly recommend William for all of your bankruptcy and tax law needs.
