Excellence, Knowledgeable and Understanding

Excellent understanding of my Bankruptcy situation and took time to listen and explain each step along the way. Also explained the cost in a nice and compassionate manner.

Best Law Firm in Northern California who genuinely care about their clients!

Going through a difficult and stressful period in my life where my finances were becoming too overbearing to deal with, I felt my only option was to file for bankruptcy. I called a few law firms and actually met with a local attorney who I felt didn't have much experience led me to look for attorneys... further away. When I called the Liviakis Law Firm, I was quickly connected to Laurie, who was very pleasant and understanding. She made me feel like she cared and immediately wanted to help me. She was able to book an appointment that same day. Not sure what to expect, Mik was very compassionate and showed great knowledge in Bankruptcy Law. He was able to answer all my questions and concerns that I had about filing for bankruptcy. I immediately decided to hire Mik and it proved to be the best decision I had made. Mik, Jeremy, and Brent helped the bankruptcy process seem like a breeze and made me feel at ease. Brent and Jeremy were on top of making sure all documents were in place, guided and prepared me step by step on the process. Mik and his team have stood by my side every step of the way, especially attending the Meeting of Creditors, which was scary and nerve wrecking. Mik and his team have taken a huge and heavy burden off my shoulders and have given me the chance to start over. I am extremely grateful for the Liviakis Law Firm Team and am so glad that I decided to look further and drive the distance.

LOOK NO FURTHER THIS IS THE BOMB ATTORNEY FOR BANKRUPTCY

We started to file Bankruptcy with another Law firm in Roseville on Douglas Blvd., and THANK GOD my husband had questions and went to LIVIAKIS LAW FIRM to ask them. After finding out how KNOWLEDGEABLE and AGRESSIVE "Mikki" is, we immediately switched. It saved us SOOO much money and we were able to ...keep our cars and other property we were told we couldn't keep with the other Law Firm. He lowered interest rates, values and balances on our existing property, and we only had to come up with a minimal down payment. We didn't have to wonder what was happening as he (and his associates), kept us informed all the way. No time wasted here, we were in and out. We couldn't believe it was so painless and quick. He really cared about us and he has a good sense of humor along with a professional manner. THANX MIKKI...... ;) SAVE TIME...GO HERE FIRST....YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT !!!!!!!!!! I PROMISE .....

Superior Service with Results

I interviewed 5 bankruptcy law firms before finding Liviakis Law Firm. The other firms made me feel like a "number" in the process that seemed intimidating and devaluing. Mikalah is a rarity in his profession with a sincere, caring approach that eases the heightened state of emotions that comes with ...financial distress. He knows how to balance the human needs of his clients with the business at large. He displayed compassion, empathy and understanding in our first meeting and assessed the best situation for me as a small business owner. His staff, especially Shaleen, was amazing in delivering exceptional service with attention to every detail. All my questions were answered in a timely manner and each inquiry was treated with respect and dignity. With this level of service, I gained confidence to move forward with assurance and optimism instead of being fearful and apprehensive. The expediate methods provided by Mikalah and his staff helped me in obtaining the goal of starting the new year with a fresh start for my business. Additionally, Mikalah's experience, expertise and wealth of knowledge was extremely valuable and reassuring. Not only did he expertly guide me through a very challenging situation, he also encouraged me to stay true to my life's work to build my business once again. I highly recommend Liviakis Law Firm to all who are looking for a compassionate, efficient, high level of service law firm, which in my experience, is rare.
