These guys will have your back even afterwards

I’m a retired senior lady who barely manages. When a creditor came after me two years after my bankruptcy, while I was sick from the pandemic, Sean and Sam got me the documents to protect myself within an hour. They had my back when I was totally vulnerable and panicked. During the bankruptcy, they h...elped me get through a horribly distressing period when things snowballed out of control and helped me get back on my feet and stay there when one creditor decided to try and pick my bones later.

10 years later and he is still helping

I filed bankruptcy with his office in 2010. He was amazing then and he is amazing now. I recently have had a collection attorney harassing me, harassing my family, threatening to empty my bank account and garnish my wages. This was a card that was closed in 2006 and they’re coming after me for five t...imes what the original amount was. I called his office freaking out. He calmed me down and took matters into his own hands. He contacted this agency and is still fighting for me even 10 years after I was his client. He is amazing and he is doing this because he is an amazing attorney who will fight for you.

Sean saved me from disaster

I had my wages garnished for a judgment that was discharged in BK almost 15 years ago. Because it was so long ago, I threw away all the paperwork and had no way to prove it had been discharged. Luckily Sean still had my file, and emailed it to me within the hour, late on a Friday afternoon, and for N...O CHARGE. Thank you Sean! You ROCK!

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.
