Absolutely the Best

Mr Arnold from the get go - before money was exchange - was very transparent. We knew what to expect and when to expect it. He allowed us time to gather our documents and even with Covid he made sure to stay in contact. At one point we were not able to get the needed documents right away and he allow...ed us the time to gather it all - keeping us aware of any deadlines. There was no rushing - we did have a hard deadline once we had gotten to a certain point but with is help we made it thorough all appointments and in the end we came out successful. Mr Arnold was very open and honest when we came with questions and answered then fully. We always felt like we knew what was going and if we hesitated with something he talked us through it with patinece and understanding.

Best Bankruptcy Attorney in San Diego!!!!

I was referred to Mr. Adam Arnold's office by a coworker who had worked with him on a Bankruptcy, which was what I needed to file. I had looked around, and spoken with a few BK Attorney's on my own, however had no luck. From our first interaction, until our last, Adam was wonderful. He showed a ve...ry high interest in my case from the beginning, and It never felt like he was just doing a job he was hired for, but more like he was a partner with me the entire way. He was very thorough on his explanations and made me understand all my options before we filed my BK case. Adam gave me a very doable payment plan to pay for his services, and they were lower than anyone else quoted me (pricing is very equal). For his service, it was beyond worth it. He walked me through each step, helped me obtain information I needed and also explained what I needed to obtain for him to be able to file my case. We met several times to go over the documents, as well as prep for my court date/zoom call with the Judge and court. For something so difficult as Bankruptcy, Adam made it very painless and a lot easier then I originally expected. If you are looking to file BK in the near future, I would put him on the top of any list in San Diego and you will not be disappointed. Even after my BK was discharged, Adam reached out to congratulate Me as well as offered me some advice if I ever needed it. All in all, Adam Arnold is top notch and the best Attorney Client interaction I have ever had. Thank you Adam!

Smooth Experience

Adam was absolutely fantastic to work with! I was scared to file as bankruptcy it is so frowned upon. Adam made me completely comfortable and at ease with the whole situation. He is extremely punctual, professional and has an immediate answer for everything. He really knows what he is doing and I tru...sted him 110%. I'm so glad I filed as it has completely changed my life and mental state. I feel like I can actually move forward in life instead of dwelling on past situations which led me to be in so much debt. Thank you, Adam, for making it such a smooth process.

10 stars is more like it

I was recommended by a family member to Adam and I feel I had made one of the best decisions in hiring him. I had filed for bankruptcy in the past with other attorneys and was nervous through the process. With Adam, he explained how the whole process worked, and was very thorough and patient (I had ...alot of questions). I was also happy about his fees, which were very reasonable. I felt very confident that he would make it work without any problems and eased any stress that I was experiencing at the time. From the time I consulted with him to the time my bankruptcy was discharged felt like no time at all. His instructions were easy to follow as to what my part was and that also lessened the stress. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a bankruptcy attorney. I am 100% happy with Adam's services.

Highly Recommended

I highly recommend Adam B. Arnold for bankruptcy services. I tried to consult with those "other" guys (eh, em...bankruptcylawcenter) and feeling pressured to hire on the high costing fees they charge. I quickly came to my senses and went back to searching. After looking at Mr. Arnold's yelp review, I... thought I'd give him a call and try. I'm glad I did. Adam is very professional and even honest. I can see he's a family man with a small practice near my home which is located in Fletcher Parkway, right outside La Mesa. He is very knowledgeable about the bankruptcy process, which he made me feel at ease during my chapter 7. He made sure all my questions where answered and he even gave me extra information that I wasn't aware of. I felt confident in his consultations and advice that I received. I started my filing 7/20/18 and finalized my court date on 12/11/18, discharged 2/12/19. The whole process was quick and fairly easy considering the situation. He's not the run-of-the-mill lawyer, which I appreciated. The bk process in itself is stressful, so it was really nice to have felt like I had a lawyer who was on my side and not the side of greed.

"I highly recommend and endorse Adam Arnold as a bankruptcy attorney. I have known Adam for 7 years and have worked with him on several bankruptcy related matters. He is knowledgeable, intelligent, even keeled, and well regarded by the courts and trustees. In addition to being a debtor's attorney, Adam also worked as a creditor attorney and uses that knowledge to further his clients best interests. Myself and others in the bankruptcy community regularly consult with him on creditor related issues because of his insight as a former creditor attorney."
