BEST bankruptcy lawyer!

We hired Brittany for our Chapter 13 bankruptcy a couple of years ago. She is very knowledgeable and thorough. She went above and beyond to help us and answer every question we had. Recently we requested to incur debt and purchase a house. Brittany gave us the same great advice, help and guidance tha...t she gave with the initial filing and then some. We cannot recommend her enough. Thank you for everything Brittany!!!

Great service and professional performance

We hired Brittany to handle our Ch. 13 bankruptcy. She knows the Kitsap BK landscape and was able to develop a strategy which saved our home and kept costs down. She's a great communicator and handled everything with high ethics and professionalism.

Knowledgeable, Professional, and Timely

My father died intestate unexpectedly last year. I had a very brief amount of time to travel to northern Washington and deal with events in the wake of my father’s death. After consultation, Brittany delivered an exceptionally fast turn-around and had probate open in just a few days. Throughout the p...rocess she continued to deliver professional results and was frequently very helpful in resolving complicated questions about probate assets. Donna, Brittany’s paralegal, was equally as accommodating and categorically pleasant to work with. I strongly recommend contacting Brittany with your probate affairs without hesitation!

Handed our Case very professionaly

Brittany did a great job handling our Chap 7, all paperwork filed on time and keep us informed of what was going to happen going forward and was very available to answer our ongoing questions regarding our case. I would highly recommend Brittany to anybody who would need legal counsel, we were very ...pleased.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
