Look no further!

I hope someone will learn from my mistakes and save yourself some money, stress and heartache. After signing up for debt consolidation and making $3,000 in payments, I discovered payments were never made to my creditors. The company had filed bankruptcy two months after I signed a contract with th...em but continued to pull the monthly payments from my checking account! Not one payment ever reached a creditor. After receiving a subpoena, I contacted three attorneys I found online. One gave me little hope, the other ghosted me for five weeks after our consultation and the third advised me debt consolidation was my, "best option” they reassured me they could negotiate and get the balances reduced “significantly.” Another $1,500, another bad choice. That information turned out to be untrue! As my court date drew closer, I was feeling paralyzed by fear and possibilities of worse case scenarios. At this point I had convinced myself jail would be my best option (three hots and a cot) and with absolutely no confidence left in attorneys, went back online. This time, the first attorney that popped up was Adam Arnold. Feeling completely defeated and desperate, I began to read his reviews. I called the office and left a message. Adam was very responsive, returning my call within the hour. With great apprehension, I made an appointment for a consultation with him. Arriving at the office my anxiety level was on overload. After asking what I was dealing with and how he could assist me, Adam sat back and just listened. Poor guy, I poured three years of financial chaos, guilt, shame and fear on him in record time. He didn't flinch, he listened without a look of shock, disgust or judgement. When I finally came up for air and stopped talking, with a slight smile on his face, he simply asked, "why didn't you call me first?!" He went on to offer options, recommendations, what he could do for me and the process, if I decided to move forward. For the first, time in over a year, I felt hopeful. If you are looking for the best bankruptcy attorney, look no further! Adam is very professional, methodical, and transparent. An excellent communicator and responds to phone calls in a very timely manner. His emails provide clear and concise instructions on what to expect and documents that you will need to provide. He genuinely cares about people, will guide you through the legal process, prepare you for the hearing, accompany you during the hearing and build your confidence along the way! I highly recommend his services to anyone who may need a great bankruptcy attorney who can deliver great results at a very fair rate. Thank you Adam!

Excellent attorney for bankruptcy

Mr. Adam has a lots of knowledge and really good. I will give him more than five stars if I could. We met him on September and asking all options do we have so we can save our house. He welcome us and treat us with respect and understanding our situations. With his professionalism and help, thre...e months later, we are now debt free. I can’t thank him more than enough. I will recommend him to everyone who’s in debt situation. Give him a try and you will be thankful to know hire him.

5 Star BK Attorney!

I needed to stop the madness. I wasn’t behind in my bills I just had too many. I consulted Adam and decided a fresh start was the best way for me to get out from under the stress of juggling too many bills. Adam provided me with a clear, concise and affordable opportunity to be free from my debt. H...e is very professional, straight to point and easy to talk to. I highly recommend Adam to anyone seeking to resolve their financial issues.

"I endorse this lawyer. Adam Arnold is an excellent and knowledgeable bankruptcy attorney that treats his clients first and foremost with attention and respect. He is hands on with his clients, and ensures they receive the attorney communication and expertise their finances deserve. I learned a lot about bankruptcy law when Adam was the lead attorney at my former law firm, and I still confer with him from time to time. He always provides excellent counsel. When there is a person that lives out of my area and needs a bankruptcy attorney, Adam is the first and only recommendation I give. If you need a top bankruptcy attorney and Adam is in your area, I highly recommend setting an appointment with him. Question him hard. You will see for yourself that you will do no better."

"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."
