BEST BANKRUPTCY LAWYER YOU COULD EVER FIND!

I recently worked with Attorney Rex on my Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, he was very clear, professional, and supportive. Every question I had was answered quickly and thoroughly, and the whole process went smoother than I ever imagined. At my credi...tors meeting, everything went well, and I felt fully prepared thanks to their guidance. I especially appreciated how reassuring and knowledgeable they were during a time that was honestly pretty stressful. If you’re looking for someone who will not only represent you but actually care about your situation, I highly recommend Rex Tran. He made a difficult process feel manageable and gave me peace of mind every step of the way. Thank you again!

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 wo...rking 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.

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 n...onsense 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.

"Rex is a fantastic attorney. I've known him personally and professionally for many years. He has great skills in handling clients' concerns. He is also a very diligent attorney that does what he says he's going to do. This is important with bankruptcy law because the stakes are high. There is a lot of bankruptcy lawyers that don't do what needs to be done in a timely manner, but Rex is not one of those types. Rex is a stand up and disciplined attorney with a military background that you can trust."
