A Fighter in YOUR corner--HIGHLY Recommended!

Ms. Coffman was my saving grace during a very difficult financial period of my life. Not only was she knowledgeable about the law pertaining to my situation, she was also non-judgmental. She has a way about her that never made me feel ashamed or embarrassed about my situation. When we had meeting...s, she gave me her full attention and was able to explain the law in a way I could understand it. Sometimes I thought of questions outside of our meeting times and she responded to my phone calls and emails in a timely manner and I never felt like I was a bother or an inconvenience to her. I went to her with what I felt was a hopeless and insurmountable situation, but with her years of experience and knowledge, she managed to empower me by navigating my debt and tax troubles into something I was able to own and conquer. It's easy to tell Ms. Coffman is passionate about her job and helping people and I will be forever grateful to her.

Helpful, Quick, and Gets the Job Done!!

I came to Ms. Gonzalez for a bankruptcy, being that my husband and I had gotten so far behind on medical bills from having our baby, and were about to lose our house and everything else. She was very professional and took care of our case. It was great to have someone so friendly and specialized in... her field. She did a great job! I would recommend her to anyone of my friends that need help.

Excellent Attorney

An excellent, very knowledgable attorney who protected our assets and led us through the complex issues of our case. She was not only knowledgable, she was always courteous. Whenever we called she returned our calls promptly, and made sure we understood the legal processes as we went along. Recommend... her highly.

Not a good attorney

Ms Coffman never returns your calls. I would never recommend her to anyone. I have too call the bankruptcy court to get any information that my attorney should answer.

We strive as a law firm to return all client calls by the next business day, although, there may have been times when the return call is placed and only a message can be left on the client's voicemail. We also work very hard to answer all client concerns in a timely manner. We understand that each case is different and has its own difficulties to overcome, but we pride ourselves in taking a focused approach to each individual client's situation, and to give them the best advise and plan possible. We have taken care of hundreds of clients by reorganizing their overwhelming debt and taken care of their case from beginning to end. Many of our Chapter 13 cases relieve our clients of burdensome tax debt, credit card debt, and debt caused by medical services. We hope that should a misunderstanding ever occur with a clients's case, that we could find a solution that is satisfactory and furthers the client's goal of a fresh start and our law firm's goals of providing excellent legal service. We hope that we were able to correct any misunderstanding that may have occurred in the comment preceding. It is our sincere apology if we weren't able to do so.

Saved my house, eliminated my credit card debt

My house was in the first stages of foreclosure. I had lost my job six months ago and got behind on the house payments. I had heard about Chapter 13 bankruptcy, but I was confused about all of the new rules. This attorney is very helpful in explaining how it all works. She made it very simple for us ...to understand and saved our home from foreclosure, and eliminated our credit card debts. We are so grateful for her help.
