The Best Bankruptcy Attorney Who Cares About The Client

I needed guidance on type of bankruptcy for a client and he was very detailed and helpful. I would recommend him to all my clients.

2nd Opinion

Attorney Mike Franco personally fielded a request for a 2nd opinion on a complex legal matter via phone after office hours. He was very thorough and informative. He proceeded with a deep dive into the details, gave clear cut guidance on maintaining the correct perspective on the matter and provided a...n amazing referral to followup with in order to best resolve it. I highly recommend Mike, a consummate professional and gentleman.

Mike answered the call and all my questions on the first call!

I really appreciate the fact that Mike picked up my call on the first attempt and went in depth on our options and consideration of filing. He is very personable and doesn't make you feel dumb when it comes to law. Although filing for BK may not be our best solution right now we will definitely been... sending his info to those that may need his service. He really made us feel comfortable.

The best!

During a difficult time in my life I was very fortunate to have been referred to Michael Franco, bankruptcy attorney. From the very beginning Mr. Franco was very informative, helpful and responsive. Whether it was a phone call, email or text message I would hear back within a very short time. He w...as kind and non-judgemental and a pleasure to work with. The price charged was very fair and worth every penny. Mr. Franco is the best and I can't recommend him highly enough!

Great Bankruptcy Attorney

Michael Franco recently handled my Chapter 7 bankruptcy. He was very patient and helpful while he walked me through all of the steps of my case from beginning to end. He answered all of my questions and always responded promptly when I called or emailed. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is ...actively looking for a bankruptcy attorney or just seeking information on the bankruptcy process. He made me feel at ease during a very difficult time in my life. Thank you Mr Franco.
