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.

Jon Cooper review

I found Jon Cooper because of all the positive reviews he had received. I did some research and learned that I cannot file a chapter 7, but I decided to see a lawyer anyway.  On my initial consultation, Jon told me I can file chapter 7. After hiring him, I saw 3 other attorneys. All of them said I do... not qualify for chapter 7. Even my wife told me not possible after speaking with the attorneys on the phone. So I got very upset and sent Jon Cooper a nasty email. He responded right away and told me he can do the job he promised.  He was very confident. We met again,  and I decided proceed. Today, after a few months after filing,  I received a chapter 7 debt discharge letter.  It was a success. I'm getting a fresh start.  Based on my experience I mentioned with Jon, he should be the only lawyer you should consider. If other lawyers told you previously that you don't qualify for chapter 7, don't give up. Go see Jon Cooper. He may be able to help you. It's still word of mouth. After all I found and decided on Jon Cooper from the reviews.

Excellent

I've only had the need for two lawyers in my lifetime, and I was again fortunate in having an excellent one to handle my bankruptcy. Jon was always honest, timely, and forthcoming with information, suggestions, and opinions. Jon had never experienced a case like mine, but all went smoothly. I would h...ighly recommend his services.

Thank you Jon!

Jon Cooper helped me file for bankruptcy about a year ago. It's a little scary to have someone you barely know tell you, "Stop paying your credit card bills. Pay me instead, and I'll get rid of your debt." It's not like someone in the position of declaring bankruptcy can afford to make a mistake when... choosing a bankruptcy attorney. Jon Cooper was a great choice. I felt like I could trust him. He talked me through the whole process and the necessary paperwork right from the start. Everything went very smoothly and stayed on schedule. If I ever had any questions I could email or call Jon and he would reply usually by the next day. It's a huge relief to be out of debt. I'm glad I didn't procrastinate any longer with making the decision, and I'm glad I chose Jon Cooper to help me through it.

Professional and Competent

This attorney will provide you with the honest, non-judgmental, assessment of your bankruptcy options. This and his competent approach is what anyone feeling the weight of debt will need to get a fresh start in life. Jon Cooper was very professional and he handled my Chapter 7 case flawlessly. His... fees were very reasonable and his responsiveness was reassuring at a time when someone facing bankruptcy would need it the most. Moreover, his thorough preparation of the filing documents and supporting information covered all eventualities. This preparation allowed my case to progress with no interruptions, when, in contrast, many other peoples’ cases at the required creditors’ meeting in a bankruptcy court did face challenges and interruptions. I would recommend Mr. Cooper to any of my closest friends or family as he is very professional, trustworthy and personable. His candor and empathetic demeanor contrasts favorably against the larger, financially motivated firms in the San Diego area. I chose his representation after contacting several firms in the area. All of the other firms were more interested in my business rather than finding a solution to my financial situation (even at the risk of being as overbearing as creditor calls!). At Jon’s consultation, in comparison, I immediately noticed that he was the most professional attorney I contacted. I have full confidence in Jon Cooper and I know that any other client of his would receive the same professional service and attention. Also, I am more than confident that any other potential debtor who employs Jon to represent them for a bankruptcy will be more than satisfied with his services. Perhaps I am a bit emotional following as successful bankruptcy, as most anyone would with a fresh start in life, but I always wish his practice the opportunity to help as many individuals as possible. Truly, in life, the smallest help at the most critical moment has the power to make up for the most difficult past circumstances! A satisfied client, Eric G. (going on 3rd year of successful post-bankruptcy life)
