excellent bankruptcy attorney!

I hired Mr. Mortensen for my bankruptcy. I appreciate that he explained my options and helped me make an informed decision as to which chapter would suit me best. Even though I have already filed, he still took the time to work with me on a new difficult financial situation I'm in. Overall, Mr. Mort...ensen is extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I have referred others to him that have expressed their own financial distress.

Made my life easier

Having been sent in an endless circle with previous bankruptcy lawyers, spending months looking for one who I could work with in Tucson I finally found Farnsworth/Mortensen. I Didn't Know what to expect at first but after my first meeting he helped me plan the entire thing and gave me the informatio...n I needed without giving me the run around, very professional and easy to talk to. I would recommend him to anyone in the Tucson area looking to finally get their bankruptcy taken care of the right way.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
