John Michael Given

I cannot recommend John Given enough! From the very first appointment to the last John was the consummate professional. He thoroughly explained every detail of my bankruptcy filing and gave me sound advice. He was efficient & quickly responded to every question asked of him. If you are looking for a ...reputable class act attorney to represent you you need to call John, he’s simply the best!

My wife and I went to see Mr Given expecting to file for bankruptcy. He gave us a free consultation and spent an hour with us and went diligently over our case. At the end he gave us many options and discussed each one in detail. The result was advising us that bankruptcy would not be the best actio...n for us and other options would be better. I felt he was genuine and honest and explained to me and my wife, in detail, what would be best for us. I am a professional and I felt he had our best interest at heart for us. I would happily recommend him to anybody I know who would need a lawyer like him.

From the initial phone call and in-person consult, John had a very calm, nonjudgmental demeanor. I talked to a few other attorneys prior to deciding to work with John. Bankruptcy is a difficult, embarrassing, and sometimes confusing process. As a single practitioner and small business owner, John giv...es his clients the personalized attention that I think is needed for bankruptcy. He was readily available via phone, email, and even in-person meetings to explain the process and set expectations, answer any questions, and alleviate our concerns. He even helped with slightly unrelated financial/legal issues (tenant/landlord issues, rental security deposit questions, etc.) Other larger bankruptcy firms seemed to not care so much about the individuals they were serving and often advertised the bigger, well-known attorneys to reel clients in but actually had less experienced attorneys or even paralegals/interns do the majority of work on their cases. Some firms don't even have an attorney attend the bankruptcy hearing with you, which I would imagine to be nerve-wracking for the client. You want to make sure the paperwork is completed and filed correctly, you are well-prepared for your hearing, and that the process runs seamlessly, so you can have a quicker path to a fresh financial start. I would not have felt as confident about the outcome if I were to go through this process alone or have a junior level attorney or intern work on my case. John was great to work with, and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering making such a tough decision. It is a very impactful decision, so while there are bankruptcy attorneys available for a fraction of the cost, I think it is worth the larger investment to have a caring, accessible, and experienced attorney like John on your side to ensure a higher chance of having a positive outcome and seamless process to restarting your financial future. We began the process in December, attended our hearing in January, and received notification of our discharge in March. We are already working to rebuild our credit, which John also provided advice on how to best go about the post-bankruptcy rebuild. Thank you, John!

Mr Given was and excellent bankruptcy attorney for me. As a young, successfully female I never would have imagined having to file for bankruptcy. Mr Given was patient and clear with what he needed from me to file my paper work. All of my transaction were noted to me from him and completed on time. I ...was granted a full dissolve. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Given to anyone in need of his services.
