Outstanding Attorney

Kevin helped my grandmother file for bankruptcy, and my family and I had a wonderful experience with him. Kevin was extremely patient with my grandmother as she took her time gathering the requisite paperwork for the bankruptcy filing. Throughout the process, Kevin was very responsive to emails and... calls and empowered us by translating complex bankruptcy laws into in terms we could understand. We faced an unexpected hardship near the end of the bankruptcy, and I was very grateful for Kevin's compassion and willingness to help. As a result of the hardship, we asked Kevin to do some additional work for us beyond his original scope of work and authorized him to bill us for his additional time. After the bankruptcy was complete, we asked him how much we owed him. He said it wasn't too much extra work and told us not to sweat it. That type of professionalism epitomized our entire experience with him.

Thanks Kevin

My husband and I are very grateful to Kevin in handling our bankruptcy. Kevin was not only our attorney but our friend. He made the whole process easy and stress less. Bankruptcy is a very scary if you do not have someone to lead you through the process. We want to thank Kevin again for all hi...s knowledge and leadership to get us through the 5 years of our Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. Kevin can help you too.

Happy we picked Kevin!

My husband and I were referred to Kevin 5 years ago when struggling with filing for bankruptcy, He was very good at explaining all the ins and outs of what our options were, He did not pressure us and we decided to go with Chapter 13 . Anytime we had questions he was patient and pretty prompt in answ...ering. We have now completed our bankruptcy without any major problems. We highly recommend Kevin Rattay,

Saved my life

My bankruptcy was one of the ugliest in Arizona. He unraveled the problems, created a strategy, gave me my options, and helped me work through the despair.

The Best Bankruptcy Lawyer

Mr. Rattay guided me through the whole bankruptcy process, all the way from our initial consultation, where we decided which route to take, to the final stages of completing and submitting the Chapter 13 plan. It is a complicated and lengthy process--which I would not recommend anyone do on their ow...n--and Mr. Rattay's expertise and professionalism were evident every step of the way. Mine was not a simple case, so I question whether a lawyer who is not a bankrupcty specialist would have been able to navigate those murky waters as well as Mr. Rattay, who is one. We met a number of times in person when that was necessary, and then exchanged emails when that was sufficent. Always he would tell me exactly what I needed to do and when in a friendly, clear and professional manner. He also accompanied me in person to the meeting of creditors. I could not have been more impressed with a lawyer throughout this whole process, and for the amout of work he put into my case, I believe his price is very reasonable. In sum: He knows the territory, and is a master of his craft. Look no further for a bankrupcy lawyer.
