      Review Peter Weston

      Had to file Chapter 7 due to an abundance of debt.

      Posted by

      Found this attorney and his staff to be very prompt to answer my questions and concerns. I felt my case was handled in a very professional manner. Yes, I would recommend this attorney to others in my situation.

      excellent person and professional...

      Posted by

      My wife and I just filed for chapter 7. We had some shadows from our single life that have been following us and had become quite problematic, so we decided to put an end to it. I have to say that I did a lot of research before contacting Mr. Weston and it paid off big time. He answer all our questions and gave us excellent advice and he explain our options very clearly. He did a wonderful job in our case and also help us plan our financial future. I will recommend Mr. Weston to anyone.

      Best Bankruptcy attorney in Houston

      Posted by

      I hired Mr. Peter Walter Weston to file my bankruptcy but honestly what made everything a breeze was my case attorney Jessica Anderson who made it so easy for me to complete all the paperwork and answer all my million questions. Honestly filing a bankruptcy is not easy but because of Jessica it was so easy and I encourage anyone to work with Jessica because she knows how to work with clients because I made so many errors and Jessica was patient with me the whole time and helped me through everything. I'm at such a good place right now all thanks to Jessica Anderson and Peter Weston. In my case all credit goes to Jessica because she spent hours and worked on my case for weeks making sure everything was correct and error free. Thank you so much

      Great lawyer

      Posted by

      I don't leave ratings almost never, so for me to this speaks volumes. Weston legal was very patient with me. I had a hard time coming up with the money and they worked with me the whole way. One of the best things I can say is that they always returned any calls or emails and it didn't take days. Always took the time to answer any questions I had. Melissa and Jessica were great to me and I will always appreciate that.

      Pete Weston is the best!! Jessica and Melissa were superb helping us complete the paperwork. We felt like they cared about our situation. Pete's guidance through the entire process made it easier for us to understand the requirements. Whenever we had a question or concern, Pete, Jessica, or Melissa were quick to respond. We are so glad we chose Mr. Weston's firm and remain very thankful to them for their hard work! We highly recommend Mr. Weston and his staff to all.
