Awesome Bankruptcy Attorney

I went to Mr. Shanner after having a bad experience with a different bankruptcy attorney. He sat with me at a consultation and explained how the process would work. Mr. Shanners firm did a great job handling my case, filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and helping me get a discharge. Filing a bankruptcy ca...n be stressful, but having someone like Mr. Shanner handling your case helps to alleviate a lot of the stress.

Excellent bankruptcy attorney

Shanner & Associates were amazing to work with for our bankruptcy. Toby and his associate William took the time to thoroughly explain options unique to our case, answer all of our questions patiently, and walk us through the entire process from filing to discharge with ease. I'm so glad we hired Shan...ner & Associates for our bankruptcy and highly recommend their services!

Successful Chapter 13 bankruptcy and we are so relieved!

Our lawyer, Toby Shanner, filed our Chapter 13 bankruptcy successfully allowing us to keep our properties, and start a repayment plan. Moreover, he was able to remove the predatory 2nd mortgage and reduce our debt to a manageable level. After 2 years of hardships, he provided a welcome relief! Thank... you!

Second to none - RECOMMEND!

I have to say working with Toby and his team was by far the best experience I've had when dealing with attorneys...and unfortunately for me, I've dealt with a handful in the past few years. I went into the office expecting to pay a small fortune to get the same song and dance, but it was the compl...ete opposite. Toby was affordable and had a straight forwarded, professional and friendly approach which was exactly what I needed. He handled my case in just over a month and I had my debt fully discharged a couple months later. If anyone is in search of a great attorney I highly recommend Shanner and Associates.

Best BK lawyer in San Diego!

Hands down the best decision we made was to connect with Toby, Sasha & Associates. They made us feel as though they truly cared about our financial situation and reassured us through each step that we were on track making progress. They consistently made themselves available for questions as they c...ame up. To take it a step further, one of our mortgage lenders was reporting our loan status incorrectly after our discharge causing us to lose an opportunity to buy a new home that we had fallen in love with. I reached out to Toby and he immediately offered his assistance with getting this item fixed on my credit. He even took the time to check in with me throughout the process to make sure I knew that he had not forgotten about our process and my specific timelines. This definitely went above and beyond my expectations. I am forever grateful for his courtesy, his professionalism, and above all...his service quality. I have already referred many potential clients over to Shanner & Associates and I will continue to do so!
