A+++

Sean Patterson was incredibly helpful with walking me through my chapter 7 case. I've never filled before so he made it easy for me to understand the process. Very caring, thoughtful, and professional. Always responded in a timely manner regarding any questions or concerns I had. I highly recommend, ...10/10. I am forever greatful for his assistance with helping me get out of debit.

Thanks to Sean and Sam, 2 really good guys. Easy to talk to, efficient and made the bankruptcy seem easy, also very considerate! I hope I never have to do that again, but if I do, he's my attorney!!

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.

Two bankruptcy's

Sean is outstanding. He has been my attorney on 2 separate occasions, both the chapter 13 and 7. Both were handled with precision and professionalism. But not lost, was the personal attention and the understanding he had for my position. He was always there for any questions any time. You won't be di...sappointed.

The Best I Could Possibly Imagine

After 50 years of ALWAYS paying my bills and paying on time, I was forced by circumstances to file for bankruptcy. I was devastated and cried all the way to Mr. Patteson's office and during our initial interview. Mr. Patterson was extremely kind and understanding, thoughtful and supportive. He even ...offered me tissues to wipe my eyes and put his arm around my shoulders. He listened and then explained my options carefully, thoroughly, and very gently. And although he would need to re-explain the necessary procedures again, as it was hard to retain through the tears, he did explain the process. His paralegal, Sam, was just as helpful as he helped me identify my debtors and gathered information for the court. I am almost finished paying the court trustee for my bankruptcy. Over the more than three years that I have been paying, both Mr. Patterson and Sam have always been available to me by phone, answering their own calls and returning calls immediately when I did need to leave a voice mail. This last week, Mr. Patterson answered when I called about the financial class I needed to complete to exit my bankruptcy. He emailed me the necessary papers and the list of approved classes immediately. And he told me what I needed to do from now until the court finishes my case. Maybe most important to me is that each time I needed to call, both Mr. Patterson and Sam knew who I was when I called and greeted me knowingly. If you need to file bankruptcy and it is as hard for you to do as it was/is for me, Mr. Sean Patterson and Sam are THE best I could possibly imagine. I whole heartedly recommend them to you.
