Amazing Bankruptcy Lawyer!

I was so nervous to claim bankruptcy - it's overwhelming, confusing, and I was worried about the social stigma attached. Both Lisa and Shanna held my hands the whole way, explained each process step by step, and were extremely kind! From beginning to end, they did all the leg work for me, explained ...all the nuances and realities of bankruptcy, and reassured me that the reality of bankruptcy is not quite as bleak as I had believed. Highly recommend! If you are on the fence about claiming bankruptcy, or are confused and lost as to whom you should trust to represent you during the process, I cannot recommend this team enough!

Excellent representation

A Bankruptcy is a very challenging situation and a difficult personal decision to make. One call to Lisa Thompson and her staff and I knew I was in very capable hands. Great communication with everyone. She is highly skilled and beyond that, so very compassionate. I was guided through the process ...and felt very comforted all was well and that I would make it through to the other side. Lisa is a highly skilled attorney and a wonderful human being. I recommend her to anyone that needs to take this step.

N/A

I was referred to Ms. Thompson by the Asst. District Attorney for Pima County. She asked several attorneys who they would recommend for filing a bankruptcy suit and four recommended Ms. Thompson. Upon calling her office, I had the pleasure of speaking with her assistant/office manager Shanna. The wom...an was amazing. She answered all my questions, but more importantly, she put me at ease and did wonders for my psychological state of mind. Shanna did several follow-ups with me and again, was always professional, knowledgable, kind, understanding, and available. I can also say the same for Lisa. Both these women are "outstanding" at what they do. They are a formidable team. My most sincere thanks to them both. The entire process went smoothly with as little emotional stress as possible given the circumstances. I "highly" recommend this law firm.

Awesome!

Lisa and staff represented for a bankruptcy. They were very professional and treated me like a person. During creditor's meeting, I was near the last and heard other people with attorneys and they were train wrecks. Lisa and staff took care of everything and prepped me for this and it went smoothly. ...Hire them!

Awesome Lawyer!! If you're ever in an unfortunate financial situation, I would so highly recommend Lisa!!

My husband and I had gotten into some financial debt from trying to help others. We had consulted with another lawyer who kept asking for more money up front, kept delaying our case to the point we were now being garnished, and said our plan was going to be at an extremely high rate that we were not ...going to be able to even afford to file bankruptcy. AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT!!! We got our case handed off to Lisa which was the best thing to ever happen to us in our situation. She PROMPTLY met with us and put us into an affordable plan, stopped the garnishments and harassing phone calls by immediately getting our case filed with the courts. Most lawyers would usually be done with you once your case has been filed but not Lisa. She has gone above and beyond while continuously helping us whenever we need help or guidance. We recently were able to purchase a new home for our expanding family and Lisa was there to help with process of our bankruptcy situation. We consider Lisa not only our lawyer but a true friend with great knowledge. If you ever happen to find yourself in a financial situation or burden we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Lisa Carol Thompson!!
