Consumate Subject Matter Expert

Mr. Kaufman's knowledge in his field ensured a complete and thorough understanding of the situation, essentially building trust in him as a representative and saving me tons of time, resources, and emotional grief; the most important parts of an advocate, and fighter for your cause. I highly recommen...d Mr. Kaufman as a first choice contact when searching for someone on your side.

Hats off to YOU!

Jeffrey is one of the most caring, loyal, and genuine attorney's i have ever met. My husband and I really appreciate the time and efforts he has taken to help our family from bankruptcy to custody issues. It means so much to actually have a great attorney with so much knowledge helping you through th...e tough times in life. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone and any chance I get I refer clients to Jeffrey.

Terrific Bankruptcy Attorney!

Like many I considered trying to do my bankruptcy myself. I am so happy that I contacted Jeffery! I would have made so many mistakes and the process would have taken so much longer. He proved to be an invaluable guide. There are lots of bankruptcy attorneys in Boise and I contacted several. The re...sult? Nada. I suppose because I was reaching out for help during the holidays those attorneys were "busy". I happened to stumble upon Jeffery's listing on the internet, sent an email and I was in his office virtually the next day. My first meeting with Jeffery lasted just about two hours and in that time he quickly mapped out a strategy that made the bankruptcy as painless as possible. At the beginning of my bankruptcy I was very concerned about paying for an upcoming major home repair. He helped me put together a plan that by reducing the payments to the trustee over a short time I was able to save the necessary funds to complete the repair. The upshot now is that we are just a few months away from completing our bankruptcy. And thanks to Jeffery's advice and counsel I was able to complete the bankruptcy fairly painlessly, acquired a new automobile and added to my retirement fund. In short I believe the we are in a much better financial position today because I engaged Jeffery as my attorney five years ago.

Excellent Personal Bankruptcy Attorney

Jeff and his team were extremely professional and helpful in guiding me through my bankruptcy. I went through three other attorney's before I found Jeff, and I would highly recommend Jeff's services to anyone in need of a bankruptcy attorney.

Best part of a bankruptcy

Jeffrey was always there for me during an long process of a challenged Chapter 7 and subsequent Chapter 11. He explained everything clearly and stood by my side with compassion and humor to the bitter end. I owe him more than I could ever say. I would recommend him to those who feel they are all alon...e and facing overwhelming odds against them.
