Bankruptcy representation

Mr. Cope was referred to me by another lawyer friend. I found him very professional and easy to work with, everything was explained up front and all my questions were answered by Gary, his paralegal during the process which really made me feel comfortable given the stress of having to file a bankrup...tcy.

Bill and his legal aide Gary, were very helpful in successfully managing our Bankruptcy. They were very knowledgeable in the law and were also kind and understanding to us. Every time I called for information, they were able to answer my questions and concerns. If they didn't have an answer for u...s at any time, they would always find out the answer and call us back.

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.
