Simply put: Lance is THE best attorney I have ever dealt with.

His charges are absolutely reasonable and tailored to your case. I greatly appreciated his candor and honesty, he provided a realistic assessment of my situation and outlined all the available options, ensuring I made informed decisions. His transparency and straightforwardness helped me navigate... the bankruptcy process with clarity and most importantly peace of mind. He had a very open line of communication and gave me confidence and reassurance throughout the entire process from start to finish. Special shout out for his exceptional preparation for the creditors meeting. Lance thoroughly prepared me for what to expect, and kept in touch during the hearing via text providing detailed instructions and addressing any concerns I had. His calm demeanor and confident representation during the meeting was commendable, alleviating much of my stress and nerves. His invaluable support during such a challenging time was much appreciated and needed. If you are debating whether to hire Lance vs. proceeding with the bankruptcy by yourself...trust me, you want and need Lance to be by your side throughout such a complex process!

If Integrity was an Attorney, it would be Lance!

Unfortunately, at the age of 21, I was made aware of my horrible debt by little notice of my wages being garnished and my car being repossessed at my place of employment. Before reaching out to Lance I had called several attorneys and none of them really explained my available options, they all just ...wanted me to file a Chapter 13 immediately. I tried one more attorney which ended up being Lance. My mother used my identity and my credit. I was told to press charges for identity theft or file for bankruptcy. When I met with Lance, he suggested that I actually file a Chapter 7. Lance explained, due to me being a single parent, with no support, and a good paying job; that Chapter 7 would allow me to support my child financially, start rebuilding my credit within a few years into my bankruptcy, and by time it’s discharged, I would be able to enjoy a great credit score and financial freedom. I’m am so glad I found him. I can’t imagine where I would be today had I listened to the other attorneys and tried to make payments and support myself/child the entire time. From 18-27 a lot of adults struggle to manage their credit and funds. This for sure was me. My bankruptcy discharged literally around the time I started to become responsible with finances and now I have all 3 scores over 750, a savings account I didn’t have to touch during the pandemic, and now I’m actively searching to purchase a home. I’m now 31. Lance is an attorney that truly evaluates your situation, helps you understand the process you will go through, his communication was great even after concluding everything (I actually still reach out about certain things that I feel he may be of assistance to this day), he also takes into consideration your future! Not just the present or past! Lastly, I just want to say the car that was repossessed, Lance had it back to me by time I started my next shift. I am forever grateful for his services, I honestly believe had I not had his assistance, I wouldn’t be in a healthy place today.
