Best call I ever made was to Jon Cooper

I was at my breaking point. My stress level was an all time high and I was falling deeper and deeper in debt. The more I tried to fix things myself, the worse it became. That's when I knew bankruptcy was my only option. Jon was highly recommended on Nextdoor so I called. I broke down in tears as I to...ld him what was going in. Jon listened and I knew right then and there he was going to help me get my life back. And he did indeed do just that! He was professional, efficient and explained the process in terms I could understand. He made it so easy; seamless! If you are considering filing for bankruptcy please call Jon Cooper. Get your life back. I owe everything to Jon.

Responsive, Attentive, Efficient

Just wanted to thank Jon over at San Diego Legal Pros. I initially called a few other BK attorneys on google but promptly was turned off by their poor service and lack of professionalism. Very glad I reached out to Jon - he was attentive, quick, and never hesitated to answer my endless questions. Ult...imately he walked me through the BK like a human being and friend. Thanks Jon. I'll be sleeping much better now. I appreciate you so much.

Great Experience with SD Legal Pros!

Making the decision to file for bankruptcy has been one of the most difficult and emotionally draining experiences of my life. After researching several options, I reached out to Jon Cooper's San Diego Legal Pros firm, and from the very beginning, I knew I was in the right place. No other firm provid...ed the level of support and guidance that Legal Pros did. Jon and Jeanne created a welcoming and safe environment, making me feel comfortable during such an overwhelming time. They helped me navigate the complexities of the process with ease and gave me a clear understanding every step of the way. Thanks to their expertise and compassion, I am now on the other side of this journey, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for their help. I truly couldn't have done this without them. I HIGHLY recommend San Diego Legal Pros to anyone in need of a bankruptcy lawyer. Their support made all the difference.

Excellent attorney

I would highly recommend John Cooper’s legal services. He helped me with my bankruptcy and made the process super simple. He answered all of my questions and was very knowledgeable. I feel like I’ve been given a new start.

Excellent Attorney

Before starting this process, I contacted 3 to 4 attorneys, and Jon was the only one who would take time to speak to me for more than an hour, and answer all my questions. He kept me updated throughout the entire process and filed my case in a timely manner. I am so glad I chose Jon as my attorney. ...
