Pulled me out of the fire!

It took me a year to call a lawyer again because I had a bad experience with a previous consultation with another lawyer. It wasn’t about the lawyer’s fee, but about respect. To me, understanding & respect are the key and Mr. Severino gave me that. I’m glad I called his law office because he and h...is staff has understanding & respect toward their clients. The only worry I had was speaking with the trustee because I read an article about Trustees that claimed they are very intimidating, and often mean! However, my experience with Ms. Shelley wasn’t bad at all, to be honest. She is very kind, respectful & understanding. Ms. Michelle & Mr. Gomez were also very kind, patient, respectful, understanding, & helpful throughout the process. Thank them both for everything! To any person who’s reading this: please don’t hesitate to have a consultation with Mr. Severino. He is very kind, patient, respectful, and understanding. He never failed to reply to any emails I sent to him, and if I needed to speak with him on the phone he would call right away. Mr. Severino has a good heart for helping and defending his clients through the entire process. It was the best decision I ever made, especially during this pandemic.

client of erik

I hired erik serevino as my bankruptcy lawyer during march this year,right before the pandemic of covid 19,you would think it would be tough to do it during this crisis but erik has been commited and communicated with me very well during this period,we processed everything we needed in may 2020 and t...oday in the beginning of august i received my discharge which is a great news.The thing is that i had consulted with other attorneys before erik and without mentioning their names these were famous lawyers in las vegas but they told me that i wasnt qualified to file for bankruptcy,then i went to erik serevino and i had a great feelings from the first meeting i had with him,he was very professional and he definitely knows what he is doing and he made it happen to me as soon as possible.I will definitely hire him in the future if needed.Thank you erik for the hard work,without your help i would still be in a lot of debt.

Genuine

I felt very uncomfortable about the possibility of having to file for Bankruptcy. I setup appointments with five attorneys to discuss my financial situation; I had spoken with two other attorneys before meeting with Erik. Erik was very professional; he listened to my needs and made me feel very comfo...rtable. I decided to hire him. I canceled my appointments with the two remaining attorneys. I am very thankful I chose Erik. He made the whole experience as easy as a bankruptcy can be. We communicated mostly through email and a couple of office visits. He was exceptional at getting back with me and answering all of my questions. As I went through my bankruptcy, I could tell he really enjoys helping people. I highly recommend Erik, he is very genuine.

Caring and Professional

Erik was very attentive throughout our bankruptcy, explaining all phases and answering all our questions in a timely manner. Our bankruptcy was discharged on 01/15/20 without any difficulties.

Excellent lawyer

My husband and I recently went through several financial and medical hardships that left us unable to pay our creditors and swimming in debt that only kept growing month after month. We did some research on who the most reputable bankruptcy lawyers were in the Las Vegas area, and the Law Office of Er...ik Severino kept coming up with glowing reviews. We decided to set up an initial free consultation with Erik to go over our personal circumstances and discuss our potential options. Erik was open and willing to meet with us on a Saturday morning, the only time my husband and I were able to meet together for our first consultation, even though his normal office hours were Monday through Friday. We had a lot of questions, as we had never needed to consider bankruptcy before. We were embarrassed and beyond stressed out by our financial situation, but Erik put our minds at ease and answered all of our questions professionally, candidly, and respectfully. He gave us plenty of time to think about the process and whether or not we wanted to go through with it, without any financial obligation, until we were one hundred percent sure about whether or not filing for bankruptcy was the right decision for us. We had several follow-up questions after our initial meeting. All of our questions were answered quickly and put in the most simplest terms for us. I was pleasantly surprised when Erik personally responded (as opposed to a random paralegal) to my emails within an hour - sometimes within a few minutes -depending on the complexity of my questions. After my husband and I were sure we wanted to go through with the process, Erik was upfront about the total fees and how the process would work. He allowed us plenty of time to gather all necessary documents and walked us through what to expect. Everything worked out exactly how it was planned. Throughout the process, Erik was there for all questions I had and confirmed all information he received from the court as it came through his office. A few months in to the process, and we have officially received our discharge confirmation. It’s definitely a relief knowing our debts aren’t looming over us during an already stressful time for us. In a heartbeat, I would definitely, one hundred percent, recommend Erik for anyone who is considering bankruptcy.
