Chapter 7 Bankruptcy 60%

I am proud of my nearly 20 yrs of handling thousands of Chapter 7's. Offering this service at a reduced rate has brought thousands of clients great relief. Even raising fees slightly over the years still has me on the lower end of most local attorneys. We are being inundated with national legal chains who offer little relief to people in the area of cost and they are come and go. But I am still here doing what I have done since 1991.

Divorce and Separation 25%

I have handled thousands of uncontested divorces, legal separations, and annulments. I file these cases through Lincoln County in Eastern Washington for convenience and costs to the client. Lincoln County does NOT require an appearance in uncontested matters. I am proud to provide a low cost alternative to clients that otherwise would be required to file their uncontested matters in a local court that may require an appearance and hiring local appearance counsel.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy 15%

I have handled thousands of bankruptcies over nearly 20 years. I do not take zero down chapter 13's. I do require a portion down to file. If it is a house saver/foreclosure Chapter 13, I do require my entire fee up front. Otherwise, I will quote how much I need upfront to file your Chapter 13 and the balance is to be paid through the plan over 3-5 yrs.

Tom handled my divorce and bankruptcy and did a great job.

I was referred to Tom by a coworker who did his divorce and he said, "you should use my guy" and sent me to Tom. He met with me at 6 p.m. at night and spent 2 hours with me. He did a great job. I understand anyone can write a lousy review. I'm an electrician and understand that getting a client t...o write a good review is tough. I endorse Tom and his office to anyone going through a divorce and if you need a bankruptcy, that too!

just did my bankruptcy

Hired Tom from finding him online. I had talked with a few bankruptcy lawyers before him. He was just really nice. He spent a hour talking to me for free. I left thinking about which lawyer to go with. A month later I came back and paid his office to do my case. That was in the fall. I was very ...pleased. Glad to recommend Tom to those looking for a good lawyer. I hope never to have to file again in this lifetime, but Tom made it less stressful and handled everything professionally.

Chapter 7

I would highly recommend Tom if you need help with filing for Bankruptcy. With Tom, there is no "Candy Coating" the facts and he explains the process step by step to make sure you understand EVERYTHING. It was easy and very reasonable.

My bankruptcy was handled by a professional

When I needed a bankruptcy lawyer I looked around. I came to this site. I always find these sites to be where people come to dump on the person but not enough of the satisfied clients. I am coming off the lowest point in my life. Unemployed since 2009. Lost my house. Lost my marriage. Had to file ...a bk. My brother had used Tom for his divorce and Bankruptcy when his home remodeling business went under. Tom helped a great deal. I wasn't an easy client. Tom is firm and has to be. I was all over the place. I took longer than I had hoped. Nit Tom's fault. Tom was easy to talk to. He told me to call not email because I would get quicker responses to my questions. I had no idea what I was doing. After my case was discharged in May, Tom asked me if I would say something nice if I was satisfied. I was. I would say, the work is hard. Bankruptcy is highly emotional. I am still picking up the pieces of my life. Tom and his 2 assistants helped me a great deal.

I don't know Where to start...I have read the comment's and I agree with all the bad ones sounds like What I went thru..I was Looking for a bankruptcy attorney and I had already found one that I liked but then I came across Tom's page and seen how much money I would save....I had a bad feeling .I kne...w I should of just paid a few more hundred and went with my first choice! Tom was nice when he took my money during the first meeting! But after that Wow his attitude turned totally disrespectful! First I had to do a lot of work myself! I had to postpone a appointment I had lost my Baby and was in the hospital and he acted so disrespectful called my house leaving rude messages told me that he would need 300 more dallors! What! He was a nightmare! His secretary even told told my b friend and I that he talks bad about his clients! next time I will do a full background check and not go with the cheapest service I should of knew Better!

Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer | Jan 16

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Tom has been practicing a number of years in the bankruptcy area of law. An attorney learns a lot through the various types of fact patterns they see in their careers and that knowledge helps provide an accurate analysis for a debtor when they need to know their options..Tom can provide that and advise you concerning your financial situation. He has no problem "saying it like it is" either which I also appreciate and believe in giving up front to the point advice!"

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mr. Hyde is the consumate Chapter 7 bankruptcy professional. Mr. Hyde and I have often had many a well spirited debate about the practice of law. Much of it has to do with how we handle our client's and our approach to petition development. Mr. Hyde has developed an incredibly streamlined approach to representing his clients and it clearly has been effective. He is able to handle his clients with ease and finesse through his use of technology and database application. I have been 'Wowed' many times by the systematic approach he uses. It clearly works well and I endorse this attorney's work. "

Professional misconduct

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
