Posted by Brad | June 28, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

A great advocate at a time when you really need one

I met with a few different attorneys about the possibility of filing bankruptcy before I landed with Fuller Law and Joyce Lau. Other attorneys told me that chapter 13 was probably not an option for me but did not seem to have the time to spend walking me thru the issues in detail. I initially went to... Fuller Law because I had been led to believe that I needed to file chapter 11 which is much more complex and expensive than chapter 13. I spent hours meeting with both Lars Fuller and Joyce Lau and they navigated a path for me to go with chapter 13 (big relief). From that point on Joyce was my primary point of contact with the firm and I met with her many times as we worked thru the process of preparing to file. She never rushed me in any way. She always made me feel like she was totally focused on my case and that we could work thru anything that might come up. She is very knowledgeable and understands the nuances of working with the trustee & judges in this area. She answered every question I raised and if she needed to seek out additional consultation on some exceptional questions she did so and consistently came back to me with solid advice. She is also very responsive. I have been working with her for over a year now and I know that I can send an email anytime with a question and she will get back to me right away. The trustee raised objections and it took a long time for my plan to be formally approved but Joyce helped me understand what was going on and to trust that it would all work out. It did and my plan is now approved and I can now look forward to coming out on the other end of this very difficult time. I could not be happier with the results Joyce has provided and would absolutely recommend her and the Fuller firm to anyone facing the painful decision to consider personal bankruptcy.

GOOD INTERACTION SKILLS AND EFFICIENT

This is my first time to file a bankruptcy case. Aside from self pity and humiliation to myself, I felt anxiety creeping in this predicament. I was very lucky that my prayer and search for a good lawyer was answered through the Fuller Law Firm and my case was assigned to Attorney JOYCE LAU. As a c...lient, I want clear and intelligible advice. which she certainly gave to me. Her approach is very simple, efficient and effective for me as a client. Attorney Joyce Lau is very friendly and caring about my situation and helped me as to what I need to do and the forms I need to complete. To top it all, she has good rapport and the fee was reasonable. More power and success to you Attorney Joyce Lau and certainly I will recommend you and your law firm. God bless.

Very Professional and Knowledgeable!

I am glad to have found Joyce to help me and my wife through this stressful time. Joyce has been extremely patient with us. I speak Chinese and my wife speaks English. Joyce explains everything in Chinese and English thoroughly to ensure that we both understand it all. She is very professional an...d knowledgeable. Her strategy has helped me save tens of thousands of dollars. I also appreciate that she keeps me posted throughout the case. I am extremely happy with her service and would not hesitate recommend her to anyone!

Highly recommended

I highly recommend The Fuller Law Firm. I was very impressed with level of professionalism and service I received from Joyce Lau. After considering a more known and much larger firm, I selected Joyce Lau because I felt she understood my situation better and she was very informative. She explained t...he process and answered my questions in a very lucid manner. She communicated with me very well in order to keep me informed and give me tasks that I needed to accomplish in my case. Joyce did an awesome job in which I'm very appreciative of. Thank you Joyce!

JOYCE K LAU THE KNOWLEDGEABLE, WELL-INFORMED ATTORNEY

BANKRUPTCY IS A VERY SENSITIVE ISSUE.JOYCE LAU WAS ABLE TO ANSWER MY DIFFICULT QUESTIONS IN A SPECIFIC, RESPONSIBLE MANNER. SHE BALANCES HER PROFESSIONAL LEGAL EXPERTISE WITH HONEST COMPASSION. A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WAS DISCOVERED AND IWAS UNFORTUNATELY UNABLE TO WORK WITH HER. I HIGHLY RECOMMEN...D JOYCE LAU.
