Best decision ever

I can’t thank you enough for helping me with the bankruptcy process. It’s honestly the best decision I ever made! I’ve saved money, upped my retirement, paid off my private student loan, and am throwing money at my federal loans now with the goal of payoff in under two years. Last night I heard peopl...e talking about waiting to do something because they don’t get paid for another week. I realized I no longer live in that paycheck-to-paycheck anxiety and it’s a great feeling. I also feel I can provide for my loved ones when needed. We are even in the pre-approval process for a home—in September I’ll be able to get a loan for one since it’ll be two years since discharge! My credit score is at 719 (from 534 right after bankruptcy. All is well.

Thorough, responsive, and dedicated

After interviewing several attorneys, I hired Marji to assist with my bankruptcy matter. She is fierce and knowledgable about the law, responded to my questions and concerns quickly, and helped me navigate the process with ease and confidence. You couldn't ask for a better attorney. I highly recommen...d.

Excellent Laywer

I had the pleasure of working with Marji to navigate the bankruptcy process. Marji has the perfect balance of professionalism & being down to earth and approachable. She knows the laws & process so well that she can proactively prepare you & the paperwork efficiently, allowing you to avoid pitfalls a...long the way. I remember being especially grateful for Marji while sitting in the trustee room waiting for my case. I listened to about 6 different lawyers present thier clients cases to the trustee. I was stunned at how unprepared & even incompetent they were as they stumbled through the process. You won’t get that with Marji. My case went smoothly through with no snags. I highly recommend using Marji Hanson for your bankruptcy needs!

Reasonable Fees & Excellent Performance

Marji Hanson helped me through a very rough time when my 23 year old business was forced to close. Her knowledge & experience was obvious during my entire Chapter 7 Bankruptcy experience. She provided me with the information I needed to make some very hard decisions. She is supportive & compassion...ate while being realistic and direct. I will recommend her to anyone who requires excellent legal advise.
