Samantha Kehl

Mrs Kehl and her staff are some of the nicest people to work with. I had a Bankruptcy she made it painless and she had answers for all my questions.

Timely Response

I messaged 3, maybe 4, attorneys about a bankruptcy problem for a friend. Ms. Kehl replied in a very timely manner which I appreciated greatly. Only one other attorney even responded and I did appreciate them saying they couldn't be of assistance.

P and R H

Samantha and Heather treated us with the highest of professionalism. They were understanding to our situation; never passing judgment or criticism. They assisted us through the entire process explaining carefully what we needed to do and why we was doing what we did. This was a very stressful situ...ation for us and they really helped us feel less stress when they could. The classes we had to take were very informative as well. We highly recommend the entire Kehl law firm.

Samantha Kehl is a sensitive,understanding and knowledgeable Lawyer in her profession of Debit Relief.Though this bankruptcy was really hard for me she showed compassion and never rushed me through the Questions that had to be answered. She explained every thing that was to be required to do and the... paper work to be filed to the court. Her staff was also very knowledgeable and professional. When I had a Question I needed an answer.They were there to assist me right away. Her Fee was not unreasonable.
