I lost everything

I hired James Hornsbuckle when he pretended to be a Family Law attorney. He never looked at my file (it was at my rental home) when hired. Unprepared we went to trail where he just on day one told me he wasn’t going to ask for anything. I was in shock after he had taken my last funds: letting me comp...letely down; losing all.

Made the bankruptcy process very smooth

I’m very happy with the work they have done to get me out of Debt. I was reluctant to file for bankruptcy but they made the Chapter 7 bankruptcy process very smooth. I thought being self employed would make it hard for me to file but they structured everything so there were no issues.

Simply the best

I hired Jim to prepare my Chapter 7 BK and although I had a lot of concerns about the process, Jim put my mind at ease every step of the way. Jim is fair, reasonable and is well respected by the BK judges and attorneys in SoCal. I recently recommended him to a friend for his Chapter 13 and another ...friend for her Chapter 11. I would recommend Jim to anyone who needs an excellent BK attorney. I wish I could give six stars!

Posted by Chris | October 20, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Outstanding Bankruptcy Lawyer

Attorney James Hornbuckle and his staff have been a tremendous help to me and my family. I had lost my job and got behind on the mortgage. Mr. Hornbuckle and his staff helped me through every step of the Chapter 13 bankruptcy process. Now my home is safe and I'm on track to repay the past due amou...nt I owe to the mortgage company. Thank you so much for the relief and the peace of mind!! I highly recommend Mr. Hornbuckle and his team.

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.
