The BEST!

After my first legal counsel went out of business, I was lucky to get Kendall Coffman as my bankruptcy attorney. He picked up where they left off and did a much better job. I only wish I had had him in the beginning!! He always responded to my emails quickly and thoroughly answered all my questio...ns (there were many!). He is the best and I would highly recommend.

One of the best lawyers in San Mateo County!

The financial crisis in 2008 had a tremendous impact on my finances and career which ultimately led to my decision to file for bankruptcy. It took years for me to reconcile this decision due to the implications at hand. Filing bankruptcy can be an emotional experience because of the stigma it brings.... Some wrestle with the thoughts of personal failure or shame.(which I felt at one point or another) One of the opportunities filing bankruptcy provides is to do things over and to do things much differently. I was able to learn the lessons from this experience and move forward to another chapter in my life. Kendall has played a huge role in this experience and someone that champion my cause. He treated me with dignity and was sympathetic of my circumstances. I never felt I was being judged. He was thorough from the beginning and the end process of filing bankruptcy. He was responsive to my inquiries when they arose. I don't wish for anyone to reach a point in their life when they have to file for bankruptcy but if you ever needed to I recommend that you contact Kendall Coffman to get the help you need.

Responsive. Effective.

Positives: -explained bankruptcy, purpose and process, effectively -answered ALL of my questions -accessible -knowledgeable of process and was able to confidently guide me through the several month-long process -REASONABLY priced Kendall is really great. This was the first time I've ever had to... go through a bankruptcy and I had many many questions and a great deal of anxiety about it all. If you've ever played organized sports, Kendall was like a really good coach. He laid out big picture/game plan, identified the immediate things I needed to do, and very much was with me all the way through to victory...DISCHARGE!!!

Perfect Timing

I needed to file immediately and Kendall took action, made it happen, and kept things moving with an easy and confidence inspiring manner. So thankful I called him! Highly recommend!

"Attorney Kendall David Coffman knows the unwritten loopholes of bankruptcy as well as the stuff in the code and that they teach in law school.
