International Case Exceptional Service

I have been very impressed with Seth Hanson Law. Bankruptcy is stressful and my case was somewhat more challenging because I have been based overseas for some time. SHL was my third or fourth try at finding a firm that knew how to handle my circumstances. From the get go in my dealings with Spe...ncer and Crystal to them setting me up with a call with Mr. Hanson and then to my more in-depth dealings with my case manager Chris; the whole process was handled professionally, efficiently and with the utmost care. I was very reassured that Mr. Hanson had experience with international clients in CA bankruptcy cases. He showed a command of my particular situation that I couldn't even get through the front door with the other firms. I had tried doing research on my own as well and as a layman, found it very complex and confusing. Frankly, it didn’t seem feasible until I engaged with SHL. I spent the most time with Chris going through all the steps and information required. He was very detail oriented and methodical. He too had experience with clients in bankruptcy who are based overseas. Things like exchange rates and different tax regulations can make the process a little more tricky. But Chris worked alongside me and always came back to me promptly when and where he needed more information. He is an excellent communicator and stayed on top of things in a timely manner. I feel that my case is in the best possible hands with Seth Hanson Law. Thank you very much.

Best Bankruptcy Attorney Around!

Seth and his team are very knowledgeable and provide support during the whole process. Bankruptcy can be scary, but they did an excellent job keeping me informed. I can't recommend them enough!

Took All the Stress and Shame Away

25 years ago, I got in over my head due a a fiance being killed in Europe, then my mom dying of cancer with spotty insurance, zero income, and massive bills. I refused to declare bankruptcy and sold my house and car and spent years eating Ramen. Fast forward and now we have 3 unemployed adult chil...dren back with us and a mother-in-law with no insurance and major medical. Then I lost my job. Maxed out the credit cards and quickly realized we were in over our heads. Went from contemplating digging a swimming pool to arguing over whether we could afford to visit the city pool. Got a referral for Seth. Amy was great, put us at ease, and the firm mailed us a guide and a book from Seth about how he wasn't looking to represent con-artists, but why good people can find themselves in this position. Got a consultation with Seth as soon as we were ready to pull the trigger. Took longer than it should've because we had a hard time putting our hands on the docs he needed. (Lesson learned--we now have a much better filing system.) Seth, Chris, and Amy worked with us and Seth and Chris helped to figure out when the most strategic date to file was. Ultimately, the outcome was so much better than I expected and all the stress and shame I felt were needless. Afterwards, Seth sent us another of his books about "after bankruptcy." You'd better believe we'll be following his advice as we rebuild our credit. Prior to everything going sideways we were both over 780 on our credit scores and we want to get past that and into the 800s, but only use the credit as needed and pay it off ASAP.

You've talked to the rest, now here's the best!

It was a scary time for me and my husband financially. We were over our heads with bills and worried about losing our home. I consulted with other attorneys and places, but knew that I we were in good hands with Seth and his staff. They were informative, and guided us through the process, and ...reassured us everything would be ok. His staff continues to answer questions we may have and quickly responses to our emails and calls. Seth is a truthful, trustworthy, and knowledgeable attorney, with sincere and dependable staff. You're search stops here with Seth and his office.

ABSOLUTELY 100% RECOMMEND!! AMAZINGLY SMOOTH PROCESS!

The ease of the entire process was so amazing, everyone was on top of it all of the time whether it was answering my endless questions, getting my petition ready or making me feel as comfortable as possible. When we were at the meeting of creditors everything went so smooth because all of the paperwo...rk and things were in place. I also had a ton of questions that everyone was able to help answer. I highly recommend them if someone is going to have to go through bankruptcy! My aunt has actually been in contact with Seth per my recommendation, absolutely hands down the best place to go
