Five years later they’re still helping me

Ivan asked me to post a review for him. I don’t usually do that but I felt it was justified. My experience with this firm was excellent. They were competent, knowledgeable, experienced, calm, honest, patient. I was diagnosed with MS during the process and they were kind and helpful. Nancy ev...en gave me information on how to get a guide dog. So I call them five years after we got our discharge with a problem and they helped me. They have all along. I’ve referred a lot of people to this firm forever there and will continue to do so.

Ivan and Nancy Trahan

I met with Ivan Trahan a year ago, and informed him I was thinking of filing bankruptcy. He took the time to look over my situation and gave me advice on NOT to file bankruptcy at that time, and to wait about a year due to some of the debts that I had. He didn't charge me one dime for this visit. ...I took his advice and one year later I met with him and his lovely wife, Nancy, again and proceeded with my bankruptcy. I was quite embarrassed due to my financial situation, however, both Ivan and Nancy never judged or made me feel ashamed. They guided me thru the task of getting all of my paperwork together. Whenever, I had a question, Nancy always answered my phone calls, emails, texts, etc. immediately. Today I had my 341 meeting and again, Nancy and Ivan were right by my side. I have the highest regard for both of them and anyone going thru the trails and tribulations of considering or filing bankruptcy, should definitely call Ivan Trahan. You can't find a better lawyer! He will always have your back, and the same goes for his wife, Nancy. Thank you both so much. You gave me a brand new lease on life!!!!!!!

Good Attorney

My wages were being garnished when I went to see Ivan Trahan. His wife filled out an exemption claim form for me and mailed it before I even left their office. They didn't charge me anything for that. I'm a single mother of two so I really appreciated that. Mr. Trahan explained everything to me i...n such an easy to understand way and now we have a plan for solving all of my money problems. For the time being, he stopped the garnishment. I really appreciated that also. Now we are going to sue my creditors for calling me on my cell phone and that's not going to cost me anything either. I never would have knows I could do either of these two things had I not gone to see Mr. Trahan. I'd recommend him to anyone who is looking for a fair and competent attorney.

very scandalous manipulating and cunning desperate people.

I was having an issue with the ch 7 trustee which kept insisting my home was worth more than what our appraisal was but my prior atty would not stay on him and demand some sort of proof to where he kept continuing our 341a meetings, Eventually first atty told us the only way to save home was to pay t...he trustee money which made no sense because he never supplied an appraisal. We cashed out a 401k and then wanted him to make an agreement on terms and he would not. Desperate full of fear and frustration I needed to find someone that would or could talk this man down and have him agree he wont ask for more money. Ivan said that he sounded like he wanted this house and that our best bet was a ch. 13 then we would be out of the chapter 7 and into a 5 year repayment plan instead of losing our home. He wanted 4,000 and I was shocked but he reassured me that it was to pay for his assistance on my ch 13 for the 5 year duration. I agreed signed and waited. On Feb 18 the judge granted the chapter 7 bankrupcty dissolving all my debt without ordering our home to be taken away. On Feb 19th or 20 Ivan went into the computer system and reopened the chapter 7 dissolvement and turned it into ch 13 with 5 year proposes payments. On March 5 I received the letter from courts stating that I received ch 7 bk and now all my debts are wiped. I went to see Ivan and he said he hadnt seen it and that the courts make these types of mistakes all the time. I would most likely get something else stating they made error and to come to court on a set date. This is not true. Needless to say he refused giving me any of my 4,000.00 that he stole from us to draw up a repayment plan, and fill out 3 other sections of the already existing bankruptcy order. another note he didnt even have to make a repayment plan yet all he needed to do was file the change in venue. Yes the money was to cover 5 years of his representation while we went through this. I can not believe how ruthless people are. Watch these two like a hawk, horrible
