Bankruptcy

Mr. Moak and his office helped me tremendously throughout my case. From the initial call to the creditor's meeting, I had tons of questions throughout the process and Jackie's patience with me is short of miraculous. I never imagined being in this position in my life but they both treated me with suc...h kindness and compassion. I can not say enough positive words about them. I would highly recommend their services.

Very genuine person

I was nervous about this whole process but Mr Moak had been very helpful threw the whole process . The creditor meeting was making me nervous. Due to a good lawyer he made that feeling go away as soon as he meant us there. Very respectful. Thank You for every thing. Misty Newsome

Recommending The Moak Law Firm

Totally recommend the Moak Law Firm... Met with Mr. Walter E. Moak , and we went through all the Bankruptcy steps in detail. Gave me a list of documents he would need and I provided him with all the documents within a week, then went over it with him and he filed the case the very same week. A mon...th later had the meeting with Trustee and all I have to do is wait is 60 days for the discharge. MY POINT IS, THIS ATTORNEY IS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND HE WILL NOT PUT YOUR FILE ON THE SIDE AND WAIT MONTHS TO PROCESS... MR. MOAK AND HIS STAFF IS ON TOP OF IT AND WON'T MAKE YOU WAIT A YEAR LIKE OTHER ATTORNEYS DO. Please take my advise, you wont regret it.

Great attorney

I hired him on a Wednesday morning and he had my case filed by Wednesday afternoon to stop a garnishment. He answered all my questions and he made time for me when I needed it. The best part is he explained the steps communicated in a concise manner and when there was an error he reviewed it and fixe...d the mistake. I felt confident that I had someone on myself that knew how to lead me out of financial turmoil. Definitely you want him on your side!
