Client

My husband and I had to file bankruptcy which was very stressful. Mr Casey was very blunt and honest about what we could and couldn’t do. His office made the process very smooth from beginning to end. His paralegal was very helpful and let me know in advance of the needed and she reminded me of da...tes of things due or meeting. There office made the process less stressful for us. I would definitely recommend them.

Personal Bankruptcy

My personal bankruptcy case went very smooth. I filed prior to Covid-19. My final discharge was done over the phone with the bankruptcy referee. Mr Casey and staff kept me informed throughout the whole process. His paralegal, Ms. Vincent was very professional and understanding of my situation. ...I highly recommend anyone looking for a good bankruptcy attorney to consider Mr. Casey and staff.

Bankruptcy Review

I had the unfortunate circumstances to have to declare bankruptcy a little over three years ago. Mr. Casey was excellent to work with and excellent in the representation of my case. He and his staff have always answered questions promptly and knowledgeably, as well as thoroughly explaining options ...and what was forthcoming. They provided me with all the information needed to make responsible decisions in the beginning and filled out all the court papers needed with the information provided for my case. He attended the court hearing with the trustee and excellently represented my circumstances and interests. The bankruptcy plan proceeded as agreed and anything that came up during the 3 years, he and his office were always available to help or answer my questions. I appreciate his experience and expertise in my legal matters concerning this bankruptcy. I highly recommend his services.

EXCELLENT JOB

We were nervous and very uncomfortable making the decision to file BK but minutes after being in the office with Mr Casey and TK we felt much more secure about a tough decision. They walked us through each step and made it simple to do. We would recommend this Law Firm to anyone.

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.
