This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Experience with James. Highly Recommended.

I was referred to James Tschudy by a trusted coworker after experiencing a flood in my apartment that left me liable for tens of thousands of dollars. I was receiving letters demanding immediate payment and didn't know what to do. James offered immediate, complimentary consultation and quickly ad...dressed my fears and concerns, and gave me very specific advice on what was important and how to proceed. He was non-judgmental and easy to talk to. Eventually bankruptcy was decided upon as the best course of action, and he handled all complications easily and professionally. I never felt pressured to move in one direction or another. The case is now fully resolved with no loose ends as of two months ago. I couldn't be happier. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone considering bankruptcy or experiencing debt or collection problems.

Reliable and Persistent

James took my case as an assignment from a senior attorney at Eblen Freed LLC. I was seeking to collect on a personal loan after the borrower filed for bankruptcy James quickly oriented himself to the case and worked effectively with the bankruptcy triustee to represent my interests. In the end, Ja...mes succeeded in helping me reach a settlement with the borrower. I'd work with James again. He communicates well and doesn't waste time racking up billable hours.

James is the real deal and I would certainly retain him again!

He was highly knowledgeable and efficient with my case and delivered services that exceeded my expectations. He provided the kind of legal service you hope to receive with honesty and compassion.

Best Lawyer

I wished I had gone to Mr. Tschudy immediately with my case. I am very grateful that Mr. Tschudy took my case because it brought me resolution. I highly recommend his services. He and his staff were extremely helpful. If I ever need an attorney again, I will contact his office without question.

Exceptional!

We had the privilege of having James represent us with our bankruptcy, during his practice in Arizona. We met him at the lowest point in our lives, as we faced bankruptcy and all the negative feelings that come along with it. James has a lot of experience and knowledge and explained every aspect of... the process. He helped us realize this was not an ending, but a new start. He made us feel like we were not in this alone and he gave us the tools we needed to succeed. He was on top of our case and whenever we contacted him he always responded quickly. His kind, caring, and personal service are not something you learn; it is a testimony to his character. We highly recommend James.
