Great attorney
John is a great attorney; he listens and that people have different circumstances and he can't use a "cookie cutter" approach to helping people. I had an unusual situation and he took the time to explore different options with me. I recommend him with no reservation.

Austin, thank you for the honest feedback. I have enjoyed working with you as a client. As we had discussed previously, individuals with higher household income end up with a higher monthly payment than others do. In working on your case for six months, I felt like we reached a good compromise that would allow you to pay off your debts in a manageable way over five years, without paying default penalties or interest and were within $100 of what you were willing to pay. I certainly did respect your decision not to proceed forward with that plan though and wish you the best of luck.
