Great guy, honest lawyer
I have been in the unfortunate position of needing to retain attorneys on a few occasions over the last 6 years. One didn't even remember my name, just charged her ridiculous fees. One did such a dog and pony show I actually believed in him only to be taken to the cleaners, took every penny I had then quit without getting anything accomplished because I ran out of money. Rex Tran has renewed my faith in the legal system. Rex has presented himself as caring, kind and very knowledgeable. I/we were treated with dignity and professionalism. I/we never felt like a number. Rex's follow through is excellent as is his communications. I/we never felt in the dark about anything. Rex followed up after the close of our matter without any surprise fees, but with an intent to help in the future if needed. Rex has kept in touch via social media since. Rex is honest and fair and will treat you with respect and integrity. I would gladly work with Rex again in the future, though I hope I don't need to. I highly recommend Rex Tran as a honest, straight forward attorney (yes some do exist).

Great Experience! Quick & Affordable!
Rex Tran helped file my bankruptcy recently and to my surprise, he turned it into a much more positive experience than I anticipated (...as positive of an experience that Bankruptcy can be)! He made sure I understood all the implications of my filings and has really put me in a great place to move forward in my life. He was very professional, yet very approachable and responsive to all my questions and needs. I've already recommended him to my friends and family and HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for a great Bankruptcy attorney.

Highly Recommend
This was my first time working with a lawyer and was very nervous about the whole process. The process was very easy. Mr. Tran gave me a list of things needed from me. Told me what to expect throughout the whole process. I just received notice today that I received my discharge. I would highly recommend Mr. Tran.

Specializes and is an expert in Bankruptcy law
I did research trying to find a good bankruptcy attorney and decided to hire Mr. Rex Tran to help me file bankruptcy chapter 7. 1. He specializes and is an expert in Bankruptcy law. 2. He sent a complete package regarding bankruptcy that I should know on the 1st email. 3. He spent a lot of time working with me to complete the bankruptcy petition (64 pages). 4. He responded to my emails and messages very quickly. I have more than 80 emails to communicate with Mr. Tran since I have many questions. 5. He directed me in every detail on each step, especially in the court hearing: 5.1 He gave me the list of "questions Frequently asked at 341(a) Meeting of creditors hearing. 5.2 Told me to confirm with him 20 minutes before the hearing. 5.3 Inform me on how to get in the meeting, how to handle the phone call to the meeting. 6. I passed the creditors hearing meeting smoothly and am waiting to receive discharge in about 3 months. 7. He is 100% reliable. The job that he did for me is worth much much more than what he charges me.

A Great Experience
As many may mention in such a review, requiring the services of a bankruptcy attorney is never an easy moment in life. And thus those which you select to help you navigate the experience is crucial. From the first phone consultation, and throughout the entire process, Rex was not insightful but incredibly responsive. I understood each step of the process and was able to utilize his expertise and services to create an efficient roadmap forward. I highly recommend Rex's services for those in similar situations.

Professional, Caring and Detailed
No one wants to admit their financial defend and declare bankruptcy. I have always paid my debts but there comes a time where life events happen, and you have tried your best, but bankruptcy is the only way you can get out of the debt cycle and rebuild for your future. This was a major decision that can affect my personal and work life. I had thousands of questions and I needed someone that would be there by my side every step of the way. Rex was that guy. He was kind, professional and never judged my situation. He answered all my questions even before I decided to move forward. He made sure everything was in line so that my file would moved smoothly. I received my discharged today. What a weight off my back. I have learned from my mistakes, and I look forward to rebuilding for myself and my kids. If you want someone that is on your side, that is detailed and is knowledgeable Rex is the attorney for you. All the reviews are real, I would give him a 1000 stars if I could. Thank You Rex, thank you for helping me.

Very knowledgeable and professional
I had a free consultation with Mr.Rex Tran to discuss Chapter 7 bankruptcy after I found him on Google and had a short phone conversation with him first. I had over $ 80,000 in debt from credit cards, medical bills and a car repo. He was certainly very knowledgeable and professional. A direct no nonsense approach which I liked very much. Very upfront about the costs and fees so no surprises later. He's easy to talk to and always picked up his phone when I contacted him during business hours or returned my calls very quickly. Stayed very patient with me with when I asked the same questions he had already explained to me a few times before. Great communication via emails and he would personally call me to remind me of important dates and time frames regarding my case. He made sure the entire process went smooth and easy to understand. Even after I messed up during my zoom court hearing he helped me calm down and got everything back on track with the court so I didn't need an additional hearing. I recently received my discharge letter, NO more stress! Thank you Mr.Tran for making this so easy.

Great Attorney
I am so grateful to have Rex Tran represent me during my chapter 7 bankruptcy. He is a thorough expert in bankruptcy law. But what he does best is that he makes the complicated bankruptcy process easy to understand. From start to finish, Rex guided me continuously with clear and simple directions. I was very distressed when I got served with multiple subpoenas from my creditors. After talking to Rex, he assured me that it will be cleared during my bankruptcy. And it did. What a relief to have the subpoenas dropped. During the bankruptcy process, Rex told me exactly what was needed in a very organized and simple way. And he answered all of my questions in a timely manner. Going through this bankruptcy was a nerve-racking experience for me but Rex made it easy as it can be. Because of his meticulous expertise and guidance, I always had a piece of mind throughout the whole process. As a result, I got my discharge today. It took about 3 months. Thank You Mr. Rex Tran for all your help and effort.

Mr. Tran Provided an Exceptional, Quick, Easy and Modern Process.
I filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy through Mr. Tran. Mr. Tran provided exceptional service throughout what can obviously be a tense and anxious process. He was prompt with replies that were succinct and clear in their instruction. Indeed, as he advised, the most difficult part of the process was gathering the necessary documents. But Mr. Tran provided written instructions that were clear and easy to follow. In a good way, there was very little to discuss beyond what the forms themselves laid out with regard to what was needed and what I could expect. But any time I did have follow-up questions, Mr. Tran was exceptionally prompt. With covid precautions in effect, everything was done virtually. I did not have to meet with Mr. Tran throughout the entire process. I thought this was an exceptional upside, although I am sure I could have met with Mr. Tran had I preferred a more in person form of communication. In fact, I did not even have to go to court as covid precautions required for a virtual hearing. Dare I say, everything was an exceptionally easy process all accomplished from my home via a computer, phone and one trip to the post office. The total cost to file through Mr. Tran for my admittedly simple bankruptcy was 1600 which included court filing fees.

Rex Tran was a great attorney to work with my my BK case. He was very thorough with all the details, his communication was always good and open (answered emails, text, calls, etc.). He answered all questions that I had and more. Cost was affordable as well. Very flexible with appointments especially during pandemic (virtual appointments were accepted). I would highly recommend his services.

Easy to work with
Rex was easy to work with and walked us through every step of the way. They were quick to respond to emails and phone calls when questions came about. We were lucky enough to pay off a few months early and he was quick to file the discharge paperwork with the courts. I would recommend them to anyone who needs assistance.

Exceptional work. Outstanding attorney
Rex Tran is an excellent attorney. From day one, he was always very prompt in responding to my questions/concerns. He walked me through the entire process step by step and was so incredibly detailed and thorough in all aspects. I feel that he truly prepared me for what to expect as there were never any surprises in my case. He’s very professional, honest, and straightforward. It truly gave me peace of mind knowing that my attorney was so experienced and knowledgeable in this field. Thanks to Mr. Tran, my case was discharged without any issues and was a very seamless process. I wholeheartedly recommend Tran Bankruptcy Law to anyone considering filing BK - you’ll be represented by the very best.
