About Charles

Over 17 years of practicing law in Arizona I have served thousands of clients experiencing trying times and difficult circumstances. There are many reasons for coming to the place in one's life when the need for filing a bankruptcy becomes necessary. Job loss, illness, disability, even loss of a loved one can all result in devastating financial consequences and hardship, which may leave no other choice. No one sufferring these consequences should have to have their misfortunes compounded by having to deal with abusive collection agencies, lawsuits, and wage garnishments. My first step in serving your bankruptcy needs will be to charge you a reasonable and affordable fee far below what many other bankruptcy attorneys will charge you. I do not want my fee to serve as an impediment to you gaining prompt access to the Bankruptcy Court. Secondly, when you retain my services, you can immediately begin to regain some peace in your life knowing that I, not you, will deal with your creditors directly. You no longer need to avoid phone calls or worry about being humilated by collection agencies.  Finally, within a few months your bankruptcy discharge will be complete and you will be free to take advantage of the fresh start in life you are entitled to through either a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

      Going through a BK is hard enough, Mr Leftwich was patient and willing to answer all of my questions. The process was made painless and easy. When issues arose after the BK, with debt collectors attempting to collect after we filed, his firm graciously and effectively handled all of the harassment of those turkey buzzards. If in seven years, I need to file again, I will HAPPILY file with his firm again.

      Great representation at an affordable price !

      I was informed about the bankruptcy laws and felt comfortable with Mr. Leftwich and his firm. Haven't received discharge papers yet but am confident there will be no problem.

The price was so reasonable that I don't know how i would have been able to do my bankruptcy. Thanks to Charles my live is back on track. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to do bankruptcy.

      Charles Leftwich is an extremely competent, knowledgable, reliable and very responsive attorney. Unlike other law firms, he is hands on when it comes to addressing his clients and their legal needs. No need to worry about not being called back or becoming just another case file on his desk as he personally makes it his mission to inform you every single step of the way about what and where your case is going. That's rare in any legal firm and for that reason alone I am highly recommending him! He is indeed by far the most sincere, honest and caring individual when it comes to his clients legal needs. At Leftwich law , you are not just another file, you are a real person!

      A firm you can count on!!

      Posted by

I won't get into explicit details on my experience, but just know that I have successfully been able to put my hard times and setbacks all behind me with the help of this firm. All of my concerns were addressed, all of my questions were answered, and all of my time was treated as important. I highly recommend this firm. -Ms, Vaughn

      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      I endorse this lawyer. I have known Charles for over 10 years and he is an excellent attorney that takes good care of his clients. In many cases, especially with bankruptcy work, the difference between a good lawyer and a bad one is how well the lawyer handles his client's non-legal concerns. Charles not only knows the law, he knows how to guide his clients through the often emotional process of filing bankruptcy.

      Charles has been a colleague of mine for about 5 years now. I am familiar with his work and his service to his clients. Charles is a very capable attorney, and his clients value his work and their relationships with him. He is one of the veteran lawyers in bankruptcy court, and by now I'm sure he's filed thousands of successful cases. Charles is one of the more approachable lawyers in bk court, and it's always a pleasure to chat him up, whether it be for a laugh or for an opinion on a legal issue.
