Review of attorneys services for bankruptcy

Rich handled my bankruptcy with professionalism and was thorough and knowledgeable. He was very available and always very quick to reply to all of my emails, texts and questions. He made the daunting task of facing bankruptcy calmly and offered support throughout the whole process and made it l...ess stressful for me. The only thing I was disappointed with was that the Trustee had not received any of my records or his emails. However, I knew this was not his fault, as he is very efficient and I am positive he had provided the court with all the necessary information. When they didn't have the information that day at court, he was able to quickly look up all the needed information on his phone. It might just be helpful to get a confirmation email that they received everything needed at court. I would definitely use his services again if I ever needed an attorney. Thanks for everything Rich!

Most efficient and compassionate bankruptcy lawyer

Rich was able to assist me with bankruptcy in the most efficient and compassionate manner. He met me in areas that were convenient for me. We were able to file so quickly so I could put this part behind me and start rebuilding. He answers his texts quickly and his first response to me was on a Saturd...ay right after I reached out to him. If you need legal services, I would call Rich before anyone else!

Rich Masana Review

My experience with Rich was a very positive one. He helped make an otherwise unpleasant experience much less intimidating and handled my Bankruptcy case with the utmost care, diligence and the professionalism. I never had to worry or wonder about the status of my case as Rich was quick to keep me inf...ormed and was always thoroughly detailed in his follow up. I wouldn't hesitate recommend or hire him again. Thanks Rich!

made bankruptcy process simple

I had never been through a bankruptcy before and did not really know all the rules or what to expect, but Rich explained everything and it was all very easy. We only had to meet in person twice so I could sign paperwork. Everything else I was able to scan and email to him as far as bills and credit r...eport and bank statements and whatever else he needed. We were also able to meet in the early evening so that the only time I had to miss work was for the hearing. Rich was always accessible quickly via phone or email and he made sure that he had all my correct financial information and documents before we went to court. I was surprised watching the cases up before mine how many lawyers were not prepared. One of them came up to me in the waiting room and asked if I was so and so, so he had never even met his client before the hearing. My case was before the trustee 5 minutes at most and it was all over. Since Rich was so prepared and had all the paperwork in well in advance of the hearing, she did not have many questions and was not missing any paperwork. Several people who had paid lawyers were missing critical info. Overall, I was very please with Rich's service. I hope I never have to call him again for a bankruptcy, but I would highly recommend him to anyone who has to go through this. My circumstances allowed me to do Chapter 7, so now I am free from the crippling consumer debt and can go on to rebuild my credit and savings and lead a better budgeted life in the future. I only wish I had done this a year ago!

Highly Recommended

When my husband and I looked into filing bankruptcy Rich was the first one to contact the same evening we filled out an online questionnaire. He immediately put us at ease in a very stressful situation. He is down to earth and easy to talk to. He was always available to answer questions with a phone ...call or text. He was professional and thorough. When it came time to go to court he was very prepared, made sure we were prepared and put us at ease. Rich made the whole process as pain free as possible. He's a good guy and good at his job. We would recommend him to anyone in need of a bankruptcy lawyer.

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.
