This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great job

I filed a chaper 7 bankruptcy using Mr. Cooper. In essence it’s really just paperwork and it’s all done before you get to court, making the court appearance almost a formality as oversight against abuse. There were several lawyers at my hearing but Waylon was one of few that had their self togethe...r and more importantly had my paperwork together. I can’t count the number of times that the other lawyers didn’t have the proper paperwork. Anyway I’m very satisfied and highly recommend Mr. Cooper.

Helpful and genuine

Spent in excess of 2 hours with me on a free consultation. Walked away with options and delayed filing for bankruptcy. Genuinely a good man

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.
