Difficult Lender/Bankruptcy Cases

In 2018, I sold my home and carried the financing for the buyer. Unfortunately, the borrower stopped making payments for more than two years. After I initiated foreclosure proceedings in August 2025, they filed for bankruptcy in an attempt to delay the foreclosure process and avoid their financial ob...ligations. The matter became extremely challenging, involving repeated delays and legal tactics that caused me significant stress and frustration. In November 2025, I retained attorney Thomas Phinney to represent me. Over the past six months, he has guided me through this difficult and complex case, and we are finally approaching a successful resolution. Throughout this entire process, Mr. Phinney has been exceptional. He consistently provided honest advice, clear guidance, and realistic expectations. He is highly knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and has demonstrated an outstanding work ethic from the very beginning. What impressed me most was his dedication to my case. He treated it as though it were his own, showing genuine concern for protecting my interests and achieving the best possible outcome. Over the course of my life, I have worked with several attorneys, and I can honestly say that Mr. Phinney is the only attorney I would rate a perfect 10 out of 10. His integrity, dedication, and unwavering commitment to his clients are truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend Thomas Phinney to anyone seeking an attorney who is trustworthy, hardworking, and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible outcome for his clients. I am deeply grateful for his representation and cannot speak highly enough of his professionalism and character.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
