Bankruptcy

This attorney and her team were fabulous, professional and resolved my bankruptcy with no issues arising. I would recommend that anyone contact this attorney if you are considering filing a bankruptcy.

Ms Massey was very thorough and informative. She kept us informed every step of the way. Ms Massey and her assistant Ms Pam are a dynamic duo.

Immigration Attorney

I have known Augusta for a few years now as a fellow attorney and I can truly attest to her professionalism, research, and analytical skills. She goes the extra mile to do everything well and represent her clients well. I would hire her for any bankruptcy or business matters. In fact, she has revi...ewed a business agreement for me in the past, and I found her to be very thorough.

I depended on Augusta for her legal advise and direction

Augusta provided an excellent plan on bankruptcy and debt reduction. She helped us save our house with no tax consequences. Augusta still continues to advise us as we finalize our situation.

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.
