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!

Your best choice for a highly skilled and professional bankruptcy attorney in Southern Arizona (five stars)

I most highly recommend bankruptcy attorney Lisa C. Thompson. I discovered her book, "Arizona Legal Forms: Debtor-Crediitor Volume Three" when visiting the law library at the University of Arizona campus. When I elected to declare bankruptcy, I chose her firm due to her complete understanding of bank...ruptcy law in Arizona, and I can say that I made a most excellent choice. Besides her dedication and knowledge, Ms. Thompson turned out to be a wonderful human being who understands the emotional and mental anguish of bankruptcy, and knows how to help you through each (sometimes painful) step of the process with minimal pain and suffering. Her legal guidance, skill, advice and support have been top notch, and I would not ever hesitate to recommend her to anyone in the unfortunate position of bankruptcy. Her legal team and associates are also completely professional and capable, too. My highest recommendation to Thompson Law Group of Tucson, Arizona.

Amazing Bankruptcy Attorney

From the very start, Lisa and Shanna were amazing! They answered all questions I had and we’re always encouraging and positive in helping me to straighten out my financial situation. No matter how many questions I had they were always quick to respond and make sure I was comfortable and confident eve...ry step of the way. Bankruptcy is hard enough, with guilt and shame, so having an attorney that was 100% encouraging and understanding made all the difference in the world! It is also a very intimidating process, so having Lisa and Shanna always provide the confidence that everything was being completed properly, that there would be no surprises and exactly what I needed to do each step of the way, made this process as low stress for me as possible. My meeting of the creditors seemed to go so much easier than other people who we watched before me, and I fully believe that was due to Lisa making sure everything was in order and ready for the trustee. We had no surprises and my discharge was completed without issue. I would recommend Lisa to anybody looking for a bankruptcy attorney!!!

Best ever!

As Seniors and filing bankruptcy for the 1st time in our lives, we had read reviews of multiple lawyers and actually consulted another attorney. But we chose Lisa and from the 1st consultation to the last little bit of BK we never regretted our choice. We felt comfortable with her knowledge of th...e law and ability to explain it to us. She listened to understand our situation and made sure we knew the consequences of our decisions. She returned phone calls in a timely manner and gave reassurances as needed. Lisa and her staff were available every step of the way, always professional, competent, and caring.

Bankruptcy Done Right

In 2015, my business experienced a major deal with big upside and some risk go south. I had no relationships in the financial world because the business cash was organically generated. Business was profitable every quarter for 8 years prior to the start of this. I owned 100% of the business at the... time, but had started the process of transferring ownership to the team of 20+. After exhuasting all known resources for cash infusion, I realized that we were exposed to a critical point. I was referred to Thompson Law, specifically Lisa. The time was tough. I had never had bad credit nor had to lay anyone off in my many years as a business operator. I was also fully vested in the company, so what happened with the company applied to me. Lisa was world class in every step of the process. She quickly saw this was a very foreign place for me and 1st dealt with aligning me to reality. She then walked me thru the process clearly and always defined my choices, the constraints, the pros and cons of the paths. I always felt like my time was important and never had to wait more than a few hours for a response or support from Lisa or her team. Lisa also created an atmoshpere that allowed me to feel comfortable in expressing worries, fears and concerns. Lisa and her team also communicated with creditors, attorneys and the courts - a place I felt very weak and uncomfortable with at the time. The only misalignment in the whole process was the rate. The experience was worth a LOT more than I was billed. I also recommend that anyone in rough times with their business or personal finances NOT wait until it is bankruptcy time. Contact her office at the hint of troubles so she can be involved as early as possible.
