Worst Experience

First time filing for bankruptcy and Janine gave me the worst experience. She was flat out rude, non professional and confrontational at some times. I never met her in person due to covid. Everything was over the phone. There was a time where I made a mistake and she yelled at me and said "I don't ha...ve time for this" and hung up on me. I paid her for her time. I felt so disrespected so many times. There were several times where she gave me false information in regards to my case as if she were trying to sabotage me and I corrected her. It seemed as if she wasn't on my side and not trying to help me win my case. I don't know what she's going through in life but I hope she learns to treat her clients with respect while she's struggling.

Mrs. esquivel filed bankruptcy for me and my husband. She explained things to us very well. My sister used her to file her bankruptcy case too. As long as you schedule an appointment, you see her or someone at her office. Either Mrs.Esquivel or her assistant returned our calls in a timely fashion. ...

Chapter 13

I filed a chapter 13 bankruptcy with Janine in 2010. I met with three other bankruptcy attorneys before I decided to go with Janine. She took the time to explain how a chapter 13 worked and how I could get the second loan removed from my home through my bankruptcy. I only have a couple of months left... before I complete chapter 13. The office staff is very nice to me every time I call. I am glad I had an attorney like Janine through my difficult financial times.

Filed Chapter 7

I was referred to the Adiuvo Law and met with Janine. I am very grateful for her understanding about my familys situation. She explained everything about the bankruptcy process in detail. The assistants and other attorneys at Adiuvo were always very nice to me when I kept calling their office with... questions through out the process. I filed Chapter 7 and would use Janine again and am recommending her to my friends.

Makes you feel extremely comfortable with the bankruptcy process

My husband and I walked into Janine's office after visiting two other local bankruptcy attorneys. Both of the other attorneys we had visited were rude and seemed so rushed. Janine was a breath of fresh air. She is a young attorney, but is EXTREMELY knowledgable. She made us feel extremely comforta...ble and she took the time to answer our questions in detail. Everytime I have called her, she has made time to answer our questions in detail. Our Chapter 7 case was filed and we had our meeting of creditors. Even the trustee told us we had chosen a good attorney. We are now waiting for our discharge =)
