Easy and straight forward.

If you need help climbing out of debt and you want honest answers this is the person to see. I knew from the consultation what was going to happen along the way. Easy process and they are with you every step of the way. Highly recommended!

Dependable Attorney for Debt Settlement

I hired Lyndon back in 2015 to help settle various debts. He did a phenomenal job negotiating and supporting the settlement. He didn't suggest I file Bankruptcy. I was able to purchase a house the following year and move on with my life mostly debt free, besides the mortgage. Years later I had a so c...alled debt collector reach out to me and try to collect on one of the debts Lyndon help settle. I notified Lyndon and he dropped everything to make the appropriate phone calls, no charge. In a matter of minutes he had phoned me back letting me know it was a scam. He spoke with who the debt was originally settled with and they helped confirm it was settled. He also contacted the so called debt collector and assured me it was a scam. I didn't have to wait days to find this out it was literally minutes. Lyndon is very real, personable and empathetic. Thank you Lyndon.

Very efficient and responsive

had an issue with my house, some leftover paperwork problems that came up during all the mortgage crisis fiasco. I contacted multiple attorneys to find someone who could understand my issue and help me figure it all out....they all basically blew me off because I think it seemed overly complicated f...or them. I got in contact with Lyndons office and he called me back that same night we talked it over and he completely understood what the issue was and how it needed to be addressed. One week later it was all taken care of and I was able to move on with my home plans. First time I have really thought " That money I spend on legal fees was well spent" awesome all around.

Made my problems go away!

I had an very aggressive collection agency coming after me and trying to garnish me for an unjust false claim. They had me me in a corner and I felt that I had no options... Lyndon listened to my situation and I felt that he took my case personally and that he wanted to take it on just so they wouldn...'t get away with it. He took all of the stress and worry off of my shoulders and resolved everything very quickly, made it go away! I could not be happier with the outcome and the personal attention Lyndon gave me. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Lyndon Ruhnke

I went to Lyndon Ruhnke for a personal injury settlement after a car accident. I was extremely pleased with the amount I received in a settlement. I firmly believe that it is Lyndon's experience, expertise, and dedication to his clients that I received enough money to cover my medical needs when my... insurance ran out. Believe me, this man cares about his clients and is willing to take that extra time and effort on your behalf. I was impressed with his honesty, and he was in constant communication with me the entire time which helped during a stressful period in my life. I highly recommend Lyndon Ruhnke as an attorney, and if I need legal representation in the future I shall not hesitate to ask him for help.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer | Aug 19

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Lyndon on a bankruptcy case in Oregon. Pleasure is the correct word because, while the case had its stressful moments, Lyndon cares about his clients with a genuine affection. He is knowledgable about the law and, perhaps more importantly, the patterns of the United States trustee. Knowing the trustee's likely concerns is a bit like knowing the judge in a District Court case; it helps the process is ways an outsider couldn't predict. Doubtlessly, most consumer bankruptcies are form matters. Do not think that bankruptcy lawyers are interchangeable. When a small business or a self-employed individual is involved the skill of the practitioner can be tested. Lyndon Ruhnke is capable of passing the test and provides first rate representation for his clients."
