So Impressed

at first I was reluctant to file, but Scott made me feel good about filing, and gave me the courage to go through this process that I knew I needed to do. They were very thorough and answered all my questions promptly. Made a stressful time in my life a lot better and so happy that I am now debt fr...ee.

You're welcome Rob! Happy to help and of course we are always there to answer our client's questions during the highly technical process that is filing bankruptcy.

thankful!

After months of stressing, I finally had the courage to file ch 7. I'm thankful Scott walked me through the process and put my fears to rest. Looking forward to a new start for me and my family. Thank you! Lily R.

Relieved

I highly recommend Scott Forrester and his team to anyone in need of filing bankruptcy. Scott is very professional & understanding but most importantly, he made me feel comfortable by answering all of my questions & the staff was courteous and very respectful of my time.

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!

Relaxed & enjoying life

Deciding to file bankruptcy was not easy for me, I was embarrassed & even humiliated. But after meeting with Scott those feelings were gone, he helped me understand that things happen & it isn't a reflection of the person I am. He allowed me to make payments to him that didn't break my budget & expla...ined every step of the process to me so I never had questions. My bankruptcy was discharged in the middle of May. I have already started to build me a POSITIVE credit history by obtaining a credit card AND I was able to purchase a new car in MY own name! I have reached the light at the end of my tunnel & it's an amazing place to be! I sleep, I no longer worry about who's calling when the phone rings! I'm enjoying my life, I'm more relaxed and truly have a lot more fun with my kids because of it. Thank you just doesn't seem like enough to say to Scott!!!
