Posted by Keith | November 29, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Super pleased client

I had an initial consultation with Mr McBride regarding a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I had a couple of unusual circumstances that required his research for legal precedent. Mr. McBride got back to me with his findings within 24 hours. He was succinct in explaining his findings and advised me with how ...best to proceed, while warning of a potential unfavorable outcome. I appreciated his candor and chose to hire him. Upon hiring him, there was a tremendous amount of paperwork that was required of me to be able to file my bankruptcy. Michelle Wilson, the paralegal, was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and patient with my questions in getting the required information gathered. I followed the advice received from Mr. McBride and received a favorable outcome from the trustee. There was plenty of communication from Mr McBride and his office. I was properly prepared at all times and was never caught off guard with any surprises.
