Excellent, the Best Attorney!

I have to complement my wife for picking the right attorney, Clifford Bordeaux, to help us in our Bankruptcy matter. Not only that Cliff knows what he's doing. Not only that he's very gracious and warm. But he also has an enormous patience for his clients, reminding me of an old fashion small town d...octor who would sit with you and listen to you and really wants to help cure your illness, and successfully does that. Many times that we overspent Cliff's time and more than doubled the length of the appointment, spending hours with him, asking many questions. Not once that we saw him express any impatience or look at his watch or clock. Always kind and gracious he is. My wife and I have been very impressed with Cliff's professionalism, patience, and caring that he showed throughout the process. Our case was quite complicated, and it worried us, but Cliff gave us confidence and positive energy that really helped bring up our morale, and we deeply appreciate it. It has been a wonderful experience with Cliff and I tell you, it was worth more than his fee. The process, under Cliff's advices to us and his work that was transparent to us, was a smooth success. But Cliff already knew that. So yes, we would wholeheartedly recommend Cliff and his team to anyone who would like to consult an attorney on a Bankruptcy matter, or any other matter that's in Cliff's repertoire. We can tell you that Cliff is a genuine good guy, and a very smart attorney. He's a real deal. Whatever Cliff does, we know that his clients would be in the best of hands. We love you Cliff.

Awesome

Let me tell you something, Whether you have made the choice to file for a bankruptcy, and or stressing over whether or not you should, Cliff Bordeaux and his Staff are the people to consult. Safe to say, I was one of the people who stressed for over a year, and finally decided to consult Cliff, and ...Yes, he offers a free consultation, but rather than feeling like you were wasting his time with a free consult, he took his time and explained all the pros and cons of Bankruptcy and was very patient and knowledgeable. I signed on as a client and not just him, but his staff is extremely friendly, thorough, and very nice. They take their time with you and when they don’t make false promises, they deliver. Cliff even will represent you in your Meeting Of Creditors. Cliff Bordeaux and his staff were my life saver. Cliff is quick to reply to emails and is extremely patient. I felt at times as if my questions were dumb, but he never ever made me feel that way. Safe to say, I was discharged, and in exactly 3 months !!!!. The process was very simple, and straight forward, Cliff carefully explains the process and his fee is very reasonable and people, he is worth every penny. I would bet my life on this man, and he is the go to person. Even now, I still ask questions of him from time to time, and just like when I was a active client, he doesn’t keep me in the dark and replies quickly. His office is located conveniently in Pasadena, his staff is A+ and his price is very reasonable. And people……………Cliff Bordeaux is who can help you and your family get through tough financial times, he did it for me and he will do it for you. Stop your shopping around now, and call his office and make a appointment, trust me, you won’t regret it. Going with Cliff was one of the best choices I have ever made, and he saved my financial future. People, this man delivers, no false promises, no hidden agendas, he was and is a Pro. If you need financial salvation, Clifford Bordeaux and his Staff are the people to turn to

Excellent Attorney

I never thought I would have to file for Bankruptcy Chapter 7, but things happened and I had to file. I interviewed 3 attorneys before hiring Mr. Bordeaux. I felt very confident when I spoke to him. He explained the process clearly. He is very professional, experienced and honest and he knows the la...w perfectly. During the process I communicated with him several times, because I had concerns. He was always available and gave me peace of mind. I believe he preferred to communicate via email than over the phone. His staff is great too, they were very helpful and followed up for documentation. My case went very smoothly and was discharged, and now I am enjoying a new financial start. I strongly recommend Mr. Bourdeaux.

EXCELLEN LEGAL SERVICES

Mr. Bordeaux is an attorney that provides outstanding services. He is very knowledgeable in his area of expertise. There is no doubt that his commitment to his clients is primarily because he cares. He responds quickly to questions to help relieve stress during difficult legal decisions. Most imp...ortant he LISTENS carefully to your questions and UNDERSTANDS your legal concerns. His office staff is also very professional and responsive to client needs.

A TRULY REMARKABLE ATTORNEY, HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!

We searched 18 months for the perfect attorney and my wife and I knew after the first consultation that he was the one that could actually achieve our zero plan with lien strip. He was always patient with our never ending questions and always gave honest answers, never over promising like most of the... attorneys we spoke with. Best of all he was so well prepared for our lien strip hearing that he actually got the opposing counsel to inadvertently support our case! Bankruptcy is a very hard decision: do yourself a favor and speak with Mr. Bordeaux before you do. We could not be happier with both our experience and results!

"I endorse this lawyer. He and his wife have practiced bankruptcy law for many years and they are extremely skilled. I would trust Cliff to handle my own bankruptcy should I ever need to file one. If you retain Cliff, you would be in very good hands. He is also compassionate and understanding and thus a good person to speak to at a difficult time such as the time when one is declaring bankruptcy. He would make the process easier and would answer all of your questions."

"I've known Cliff for over 10 years. I've referred work to him in the past and will do so again. It's hard to find a lawyer that understands the law and the surrounding economics. It's very hard to find such a lawyer that also will talk with you, not just at you. Cliff's a great resource and a valuable find. Highly recommended."

Alex Wu

General practice lawyer | Aug 21

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Cliff is an excellent lawyer to hire. He is smart, with a keen mind for difficult legal issues. He is pleasant to deal with - respectful, congenial, and easy to talk to. Most importantly, Cliff is a lawyer you can trust. If a lawyer doesn't have integrity, it doesn't matter how smart he is or great his credentials are. The bottom line is that you need someone you can trust completely: someone who will do quality legal work for you, someone who will give you straight answers — good or bad, and someone who will charge you fairly. Having legal problems is hard enough, you do not need to worry about whether your lawyer will treat you right. Cliff is the kind of counsel you can confidently entrust to take care of you so you can sleep at night. I have known Cliff for over 15 years, since he was in law school. He is one whom I trust completely."
