Excellent Bankruptcy Attorney

Mr. Casey is a straight shooter. Gerald will be brutally honest and tell you exactly what you need to hear and not what you want to hear. Mr. Casey knows exactly what will happen during the bankruptcy process and everything went exactly as he said. Gerald's Paralegal "TK" was a pleasure to work with.... TK is an expert at crunching numbers and giving you a realistic number for what your Chapter plan payment will be. Keep in mind, Mr. Casey doesn't work for free. Don't expect to go in and get free estimates for a plan payment. Gerald will give you free a consultation and reassure you he can get you out of the credit crunch. If you want real numbers, be prepared to commit to Casey as your attorney and he will do everything professionally and ethically. My life is 100% better after using Mr. Casey for my chapter 13. I don't stress anymore and I learned from my mistakes. I highly recommend Mr. Casey as a top bankruptcy attorney. Stop hesitating and go see Mr. Casey and get your life back!

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.
