    Review Mark McClure

    Welcoming, professional, detailed, & compassionate

    Posted by

    My experience with Mr. McClure and his staff was excellent. He was very detailed about the bankruptcy procedure and if I had any questions he was very quick to respond to my e-mails or phone calls. Mr. McClure was very reassuring and was able to calm my nerves about the situation I was in. Although the experience of filing bankruptcy is not a pleasant one for anyone, I was glad to have such a compassionate and kind attorney to walk me through it.

    Proven results, professional, personable.

    Mark provided expert advise and opinions. He went to bat for us. He took the time to understand our situation and was therefore very effective in handling our case which was very complicated due to my sons mental health condition. I am glad Mark represented us during this difficult time.

    Hiring Mark was the best decision for my bankruptcy

    Posted by

    I appreciate the support and guidance Mark provided throughout the bankruptcy process. It was a dark time for me and he helped me through it. I was also impressed with Mark's timely and well-thought-out responses to my many questions and concerns.

    Mark and His Team are Phenomenal!!!

    Posted by

    I had consulted Mark McClure several years ago when I was considering bankruptcy. Although I did not file, I was very impressed with Mark and his team, so I contacted him again a few months ago when filing bankruptcy seemed to be my only option for relief. Mark is friendly, personable, and dealt with my situation in an extremely professional and expeditious manner. Mark, Ian and Ethan are very helpful, thorough and best of all, I never waited for answers or feedback....they are totally on top of it all! I highly recommend Mark and his team!!

    MARK AND THE TEAM ARE AMAZING!!!

    Posted by

    Mark and his team are amazing! My wife and I did not know what to expect when we walked into his office. We were both nervous and a little scared of what the future was going to be. Mark quickly made us feel welcome and assured us everything would work out. He listened to our concerns and put together a plan that allowed us to live and make it through the bankruptcy. I hope to never need Mark’s services again lol but, if I ever need or know someone who needs the best bankruptcy lawyer in the entire world, I will definitely refer Mark. Thank you so much!

    Chapter 13 4 Seniors

    Posted by

    I fell in love with 0% Balance Transfers and ran up Credit Card debt in the mid-5 figures on a Social Security income. I contacted Mark McClure and he was very cordial explaining all the options available for me and my wife. He took the time to thoroughly explain all the various options to me a dim-witted senior citizen. Mark detailed all the steps we needed to accomplish so the Court would accept our request for Chapter 13 filing. Mark also explained his fees and accompanied us to Court to be sure we said the right thing and had all the necessary paperwork. Mark and his team were very supportive and answered all inquiries I made A.S.A.P.! It was an absolute pleasure to have Mark on our side.

    Mark and his team were very understanding of our situation from the beginning and took the time to explore all options before committing to the Chapter 13 process. Mark kept us well informed through the court proceedings. Mark and his team were always quick to respond to any emails or phone calls we submitted. I would recommend Mark to anyone experiencing financial challenges.

    I highly endorse Mark McClure. I first met Mark as opposing counsel in a Bankruptcy case involving complex escrow and mortgage accounting issues. He represented his client with an impressive degree of zeal and sophistication. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. McClure for anyone in need of his bankruptcy services, particularly for challenging or complex cases. Of the people that I have referred to him, they have reported back that they were extremely satisfied with how he handled their cases.

I have found this thoughtfulness and thoroughness to detail to be an asset not only to his clients, but to the rest of us in this area of law. He brings a level of professionalism to bankruptcy that our small group of lawyers can aspire. I am proud to call him a colleague and a friend.
