Excellent Attorney

Teri helped me with my bankruptcy. When I walked through her door, she made me feel so comfortable. She was very professional, knowledgeable, patient & non-judgmental. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Teri for everything!

Lift the burden!

Despair, fear, hopelessness, defeat. These are some of the feelings we experienced as we inched towards the need to possibly file Chapter 7. Hope, a fresh start, regaining self esteem and ready to tackle the future. These are some of the feelings we experienced after hiring Teri Johnson to guide us t...hrough the Chapter 7 process. Teri has been so supportive and responsive to all our questions and concerns. We felt a huge burden lift after our very first meeting and it lasted all the way through our discharge in Sept 2013. In fact, it is still with us today. Teri personally handled all aspects of our Chapter 7. When we had a specific question about anything her response time was in minutes rather than days. She advised us that we would probably not lose any assets and we did not lose any assets. If you think you may need to file, do not hesitate. Call Teri today. Rid yourself of your burden and get on with your life. Trust me. You will be glad you did.

Just the kind of lawyer you need for bankruptcy cases.

Teri was the first lawyer I contacted for our case, yet I knew right away we didn't have to look any further. As others have said, she is quick to respond, is very accessible, knowledgeable, caring and professional. You can tell she is dedicated to her work as a bankruptcy lawyer. She helps you eve...ry step of the way from beginning to end. Free consultation, and a reasonable fee that includes everything. She is always available to her clients via email and phone. Families with small kids will feel very welcome at her office, if that's important to you (as it was to us). Thanks to Teri, we obtained our Chapter 7 discharge without any problems; we can now have a fresh start!

Knowledgeable, fast, caring...One of the best lawyers in WA. Highly recommended.

I have moved from PA and lived in WA since last summer and had to file bankruptcy. Teri has helped me through difficult time during bankruptcy. I had been working with two lawyers, one in PA and another in WA, to file bankruptcy, I was so stressful and frustrated until I met Teri. She is professional..., knowledgeable, compassionate and caring person. She is friendly, flexible and easy to get a long with. I felt at ease with her. She is positive, actively researched and advised me on bankruptcy law in PA, where I have moved from and also where my case was originally located. She is fast to get my bankruptcy case discharged in timely fashioned. She has been through with me every single step. She has precise instruction which is easy for me to follow. She explained the whole process, responded my concerns and made sure that my best interests were served. She highlghted all key events and kept me informed from filing till discharged. Working with Teri is an amazing experience. I appreciate her professional career and personal attitude that make my bankruptcy case finished in WA with no pain. Fees are very reasonable!! I would recommend Teri to anybody who is looking for a bankruptcy lawyer.
