Terrible!!
I went into Mr. Brady's office with my life hanging by a thread. His office assured me that they would help me get back on my feet. Boy, was I wrong!!! They rarely return my calls. They charge upfront fees for EVERYTHING, even for handling a problem that was caused by their lack of communication....

My most recent experience with John Brady and Associates
My review in a nut shell : From the beginning I felt like a friend to the firm not just a client. His staff was responsive and informative and went above and beyond to expedite my case. From beginning of the process to the hearing and discharge I was well taken care of.

Sample of Legal Cases
Chapter 13 / Foreclosure Defense
Chapter 13 bankruptcy put a stop to the foreclosure sale and harassing creditor phone calls. It allowed him to repay his taxes and the arrears on his mortgage over five years. At this end of his repayment plan all of his unsecured debts were discharged.
Chapter 7
Upon filing for Chapter 7 we were able to prevent the bank from immediately foreclosing on their house. Also, in less than three months 100% of their unsecured debts were discharged through the Chapter 7. We helped them discharge over $135,000 in debt.
