A Very Practical Choice

Erik handled my bankruptcy after a health crisis. He was very upfront about everything I would need to do and was very confident that he was the best choice for the case. It worked out great as he stayed on top of everything and guided me through the whole process to a successful outcome. I have al...ready referred an associate to Erik and will continue to in the foreseeable future.

Wonderful experience - exceptional lawyer!

I think that for many people, bankruptcy is one of the low-points of an individual’s life. When I lost everything after getting into the payday loan cycle…. and I mean everything (apt., phone, car, bank account) – the one good thing I found was my lawyer! Eric Severino listened to my problems, had th...e patience to accommodate my financial time schedule, and answered every one one of my many questions. Not only was he sympathetic, he is a damn good lawyer: easy to reach, organized and prepared, and kind-hearted! When my world was going crazy, he was consistent and calm. I am recommending him to anyone, and everyone that is need of a good bankruptcy lawyer!! Samantha

Best Attorney We have ever worked with

We completely recommend Atty Erik Severino for law services. We retained Erik for our chapter 7 bankruptcy filing and Erik completed the process from initial interview through discharge in a complete and professional manner. His fees were reasonable and discussed upfront with no hidden costs. He prov...ided a workable timeline for us that enabled us to effect a prompt filing. He was helpful and always available and polite with our many questions. Erik is the best and I will use him readily for other issues within his scope of services.

Best in Vegas

Erik has been an excellent source of guidance and an advocate for me throughout the Ch. 13 process, I have no doubt that I got one of if not the best bankruptcy lawyer in Las Vegas. I did extensive research, read reviews, and went on more than a few free consultations before deciding to meet with him.... He went well beyond a reasonable time frame during our initial consultation, which helped seal the deal on my end. Being one of the very, very few lawyers in the area with all 5 star reviews, I can attest to the fact that he has earned it and more over the last 10 months we have been working together. The best impression he left me with after meeting him was that he was interested in me as a person and helping me get the best settlement in my case, I wasn't just another obligation or payment to pad his bank account, which is the distinct feeling I got from some of the other attorneys I spoke with. Bankruptcy is a process that has many variables and can be extremely scary if you don't have good representation. His knowledge of the system and the process made it much smoother with a better end result than I thought I would have. There was some information that he was unsure about in my case but did the research to nail it down in a timely manner. He is always very professional but yet personal enough to be reassuring about any fears or concerns. He has also proven to be a very intelligent, highly skilled out of the box thinker - he is the ONLY lawyer who looked ahead and adjusted for several factors that would ultimately affect my overall settlement amount and monthly payment. That skill set has certainly made this bankruptcy as affordable as it can be for me and I appreciate it. He is a great communicator, very punctual with responses to emails and always available for my endless emails and questions about developments in the case and how things would shake out. Even though my case has been settled and under way for almost a year, he still gets back to me about any new issues as if it was the first day of our business together again. Truly a rare breed of professional, I feel fortunate to have found him and am really glad I took the time to do the research instead of just jumping at the first lawyer I spoke with out of fear of the situation and just want to dump it off on someone else to handle it. I have absolute confidence that anyone who chooses to go with Erik Severino will never look back with hesitation or regret about their decision as I did. Thanks Erik, even though I have to pay my dues, I feel extremely fortunate to have been able to work with and am truly grateful for all that you did for me. I haven't lost a second of sleep wondering if I might have had a better outcome with another lawyer. You're the best!

Chapter 13

My lawyer put me at ease with his demeanor and professionalism. He lets me know what's going on with my case and returns my calls, text and emails promptly. My case went on smoothly as he is diligent and trustworthy. Overall I'm a very satisfied client.
