A great help in a transitional time

In the matter of 1 year, I got divorced, lost my job, my truck, my house and moved across the country. All the attorneys I spoke with told me I had to go back to Chicago to file, and refused to help me. Scott took my case, knowing that I in fact did not have to travel 2000 miles to see a lawyer. Not... only was that a huge relief to me that someone actually knew the law, but he made the entire process as painless as possible. I highly recommend Scott if you are in the unfortunate situation that calls for a bankruptcy.

Thank you Brian, it has been a pleasure representing you, and glad we were able to guide you through this "transitional" time on your life. I am sure you will back on your feet and thriving soon! And good thing you chose an attorney that actually "knows the law!"

Couldn't be happier

Scott as well as his dynamic and amazing team were great to work with. They were understanding, empathetic, and very patient as we walked through the process of filing for my Chapter 13 bankruptcy (thus embarking on what was essentially a 3-year journey together). They were always very prompt in r...eturning a phone call or email; I recall once or twice when I received something in the mail that threw me into a panic, and I was always given immediate attention and follow-up when I reached out for help. The best part of working with this firm: I never lost sleep throughout the whole legal process; Forrester Law Practice earned my confidence early, and retained it for the duration of our relationship. I not only recommend Forrester Law Practices, over the years I've referred several friends and family to them, including my mother!

Couldn't be happier

Scott represented my and my husband in a Ch. 13 Bankruptcy, then also a chapter 7 when my case was converted following my husband's death. There were many complications due to some money I received, but Scott was extremely zealous, attentive, and impressive in Court. This matter is finally over and... I could not be happier with the representation. I STRONGLY recommend Scott to anyone interested in any bankruptcy matter

GREAT BANKRUPTCY LAWYER

We searched for a Bankruptcy lawyer and so many came up it was over whelming. We selected Scott Forrester after reading some reviews and we were more than pleased that we did. Scott made our experience easy and quick. Scott also made my husband and I feel comfortable with our decision to file bankrup...tcy. I would recommend him to anyone who even considers bankruptcy. Scott will take time with you to explain to you how and why this would be a good decision for you and your family. If bankruptcy isn't the way to go for you, then you can trust Scott to tell you. Our lives have already gotten better since we have filed and we are now discharged and Scott got it all done for us in about 3 months. So if you want to truly start over and make some changes for the better for a less stressful future , let Scott Forrester help you. I once again want to say, that we would highly recommend anyone considering bankruptcy to speak with Scott Forrester first. Thanks for reading our review, we just want to help you make the choice we did in a great lawyer, because we have such a better life already.

Dedicated Attorney

I had talked to a few attorneys before choosing to go with Scott. I was very stressed out by my debt, but he made the process very simple for me, and made me feel a lot better about my situation. He has been working to strip a second lien on my house for me, which will save me about $110,000. Scot...t was very patient and understanding and he has really helped me out of a pretty bad situation.
