Bankruptcy

Brent was fantastic not just with the legal responsibilities but also setting me at ease with a very big deceision. I recommend him not just for handling bankruptcy but also the I tense family law complications that you may find yourself in

Accomplished my goals against all odds

Thanks to the due diligence of Brent my 13 year old son has a saving account being funded every month by the social security admiration for his future education, and stopped my x-wife (25 yrs younger then me) that was spending it on herself after our divorce. He also stopped her from financially taki...ng advantage of me in regards to child support. I have the upmost respect for Brent's knowledge and integrity, and will be forever grateful for his help in overturning poor decisions by the powers to be in our legal system. Judgments that I felt in my heart and mind as injustice, but felt helpless and overwhelmed to do anything about by myself, even though I tried at first.

Bankruptcy Handled With Finesse

Mr. Pfeiffer handled my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy several years ago; the process was quick and he made the whole process fairly easy. I would highly recommend this lawyer as he is easy to work with and is a consummate professional!

Mad Clients

Mr. Pfeiffer was able to help us out of our situation gracefully. He helped us in many ways by giving excellent information and service. He explained many things we did not know before about the law. Our case was difficult, but he handled it with dignity and skill. We definitly would advise our fri...ends or neighbors to utilize his service.

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.
