Professional

Filing bankruptcy is not an easy or dignified thing but Neil made it bearable. I will refer him to anyone who finds themselves in the same predicament. Thank you Neil!!

Posted by Lisa | July 05, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

The Greatest!

I initially called because I received a letter in the mail that I was being sued by a debt recovery company who bought a past due account of mine. They were very aggressive and looked for me at different places to serve me court papers. This scared me so much! I've always seen Neil's commercials so I... called and he himself answered! I had questions about how he could help me with my court case, but thankfully he asked more questions and since losing my job to covid and being so behind on everything, he explained I would most likely be a candidate for chapter 7 bankruptcy. He explained everything and answered my million questions with so much great information! I made payments and got the ball rolling on my bankruptcy. His paralegal Jennifer is amazing! Such a knowledgeable person that girl! Neil was great throughout my case start to finish! I could call or text or email him with questions because I was a very nervous girl. He assured me that these things take time and that no news was good news. I felt my creditors would fight back, but they didn't. I got the great news my case was discharged!!! All my worry lifted off my shoulders instantly! I feel like a new person and I now have a clean slate to start over in my credit score life. No more worrying about my entire paycheck going to credit cards. If this sounds anything like how you are living, I 1000% suggest using Neil and his team! Thank you so much Neil! You saved me!

Made the process easy

I wasn't expecting to file bankruptcy but when I found myself at that point Neil thoroughly answered all my questions and helped me understand the process. Great service from him and his staff!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
