Mr. Peck helped me save my home and free me of debt!!
I was at my wits end dealing with trying to get a loan modification. I was told by my bank I needed to go into default before they would discuss a loan mod with me. So I went into default and then they denied me a loan modification. I received a foreclosure notice. I did a google search and found Mr. Peck's office. He spent about 30 minutes talking with me on the phone and suggested I come in with all my paperwork. He was able me the same day. I spent about an hour in his office - I wanted him to know my story. He listened and made me feel understood. He suggested that Chapter 13 would work to allow me to get current on my mortgage and help me get rid of some big medical and tax debt I had accumulated. I went ahead and got a second opinion but came back to Mr. Peck, not because he was cheaper (apparently all Chapter 13 attorneys charge the same fees - I actually researched that as well - it's pretty accurate), but because he spent an hour and half with me and explained everything to me. The other attorney I went to only met with me for about 10 minutes after having me sit with his secretary first who just wrote down notes as I spoke. I didn't get the feeling she cared whatsoever about my situation. The attorney just said, "don't worry, we'll take care of this for you". To me that was a big red flag! While I know a lot of people fall for those types of statements, I don't. If an attorney doesn't spend time with me so I can discuss my situation in full, I don't have time for that attorney!! Mr. Peck really listened and engaged with me with respect and as an adult. He answered all my questions. I know I'm rambling...I'm 2 years into my Chapter 13 now and just got off the phone with Jeremy to ask about something and again he made himself available to answer my question. So I've decided to write this review (way over due!!) Anyway, I highly recommend Jeremy Peck for bankruptcy.
Jeremy was there every step of the way. He was always sympathetic and very kind. My BK was an emotionally painful thing to go through - I was going through a divorce and possibly losing my home all at the same time. Jeremy handled it all seamlessly and communicated with me promptly at every turn. Every snag was untangled as it happened, professionally and with courtesy not only with me but also with those he contacted on my behalf. He is clearly familiar with the local bankruptcy trustees and has their respect. I felt very safe in Jeremy's hands and I continually recommend him at every opportunity.

Final discharge papers !
I was in a panic when I came across Jeremy Peck , attorney at law. I was behind on taxes and needed to file for bankruptcy. I arrived with many incorrect information and Mr. Peck and he easily explained the steps I needed to follow. I just received my discharge papers April 4th 2023 and it’s an amazing feeling that it’s all over. I’m very thankful for his advice and professionalism.

We are extremely pleased with Mr. Peck's understanding and empathy as he help us navigate through this extremely stressful time in our life. We would highly recommend Mr. Peck to anyone who may have fallen on financial hard times.

Impeccable Service
From the first consultation through the successful discharge, Jeremy provided impeccable service and support. He successfully navigated both bankruptcy and tax law to assist me with my case and every cent of his very reasonable fee was worth it. Do yourself a favor and give Jeremy a call!

Smooth Sailing!
I ran up a huge credit card debt, which was impossible to pay off. Jeremey walked me through all the steps and made the process as painless as possible. After five years of making small monthly payments, I have completed the Ch.13 bankruptcy.

So helpful!
Being in my mid 20s and in a situation like this was scary for a single mom. Mr. Peck was very approachable from the beginning, answered all my questions, and was beyond helpful. He put me at ease and was there every step of the way. He was quick to return my calls or emails, and always kept me up to date with what was going on with my case. If anyone that I know needs bankruptcy help, I would definitely recommend Mr. Peck.

Very friendly, kind, and helpful, and knowledgeable
I met with Jeremy to discuss bankruptcy options and ultimately chose not to file based on my consultation with Jeremy. He was helpful, kind, and very knowledgeable. Due to his expertise, I came to the conclusion not to file. If I was going to file, I would definitely chose Jeremy to be my attorney as he really impressed me with his professionalism and was extremely easy to talk with.
