Highly, highly recommend! You will not be disappointed. You will be so happy you chose Pew Law Center.

I highly recommend Pew Law Center. Really, look no further. We interviewed 3 law firms and without a doubt Pew was hands down the best choice. From our 1st meeting we knew we had made the right choice. This is a hard time in your life and you need to make sure that you chose a firm that will make th...e process easier and as smooth as possible for you. We loved that we could email questions or concerns and they almost immediately got back to us. Our case had a few unique situations with some creditors harassing us. I contacted our Attorney, he immediately called me and he got a letter out to the creditor the next day and the harassment stopped! We personally liked the use of electronic communication - we received email reminders of important timelines, as well as text messages. Let's face it, this is a stressful time and you are kind of in a fog (well, at least we were at times) but they were there leading us all the way through. On the day of our 341 meeting our Attorney was at the courthouse waiting for us to go over what to expect and he sat with us at the table. You couldn't ask for any more then that. We really can't say enough good things about the entire team/office. Everyone was exceptionally nice and caring. Before our hearing we received an email with a video showing us exactly what to expect on the day of our 341 meeting - what questions will be asked, parking, directions, the courthouse and reminders of what to bring. You will be really happy with Pew Law Center - We sure were! I have probably written 2 reviews in my life (who has the time) but when you receive exceptional service I believe they deserve the acknowledgement. I hope I helped someone make a good choice!! You won't be disappointed!

saved our home!

This firm hands down was the best thing to happen to my family since 2007 I had lost my job and my wife had just had our 2nd child so she couldn't work. We fell very behind on our home and had Irs problems from living on retirement. I landed a position which was great but I already was getting levied... for 80% of my paycheck and I got a foreclosures notice in the mail. We hesitantly went to the pew law center very nervous because of what we heard about attorneys. Our first meeting was with Mark. He explained how we could protect our home AND deal with the taxes at the same time....I couldn't believe it was that easy.....still nervous we signed up and proceeded getting our paperwork together. I had a lot of questions and they all got answered right away. When it came to filing we were astonished to see everything proceed exactly how they explained. Now I dint have any tax debt and my home is safe. They literally kept my family off the streets. Give this firm a call they made me feel confident in a time of great stress.

Extremely professional!!

I came to this firm with some tax issues and was honestly scared, having never been to a lawyer for a problem like this. I met their specialist Mark and he really helped me calm down and see that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I am happy to write this review because I no longer worry abou...t my tax problems!! Thanks to Pew law center and their staff.

Unprofessional practice

I contacted Mr. Pew's firm to help me with tax issues. He offered a free consultation that until you actually walk through the door have no idea it is not with an attorney. The "free" consultation is nothing more than qualifying their client with what they call an "intake consultant." They asked 2 q...uestions regarding my taxes but asked many questions about what assets I had and what I would be willing to liquidate. Mr. Pew's firm may be as one reviewer said "focused" but in my opinion he is running a sophisticated phone room operation (my intake consultant entered the room with his headset still on) and was more interested in my willingness to liquidate assets than anything to do with my actual tax case.

I’m very sorry that you had an experience at the Pew Law Center that made you feel this way. We do our best to provide a comfortable and safe atmosphere for those who come to see us. Our complimentary consultation is designed to gather as much information about our potential clients and their financial situations as possible so that we can determine the different ways that their cases can be resolved. By no means did we intend to offend you. We have tried to reach out to you by email and resolve some of your concerns but have yet to receive a response. Please contact us because we’d love to have the opportunity to discuss these issues. Whether we hear back from you or not we will use your comments to train our staff and continue to strive to improve as a Firm, so we thank you for your feedback. We wish you nothing but the best in the future.

the highest level of professionalism

It is without hesitation that we are writing this today because we found your law firm to have the highest level of professionalism that we experienced during our meetings and sessions with you. When we realized that bankruptcy was going to be our only option it was not an easy decision to make. We... set up a consultation with your firm and after our first meeting with Mark Demroo and Lawrence Pew we felt at ease and comfortable in moving forward in our bankruptcy decision. From our first meeting to our last we knew we had made the right decision in choosing the Pew Law Center. We also had meetings with Clint Dunaway and phone conversations with Richard Pew and we found all of these conversations exceptional and just as professional as Mark and Lawrence. Everyone at the law center that we had contact with were sincere listeners and worked with us on how we wanted to move forward and especially what was best in our situation. We never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision. It was always left up to us. Thanks to all of you that has helped us through this most difficult time. We highly recommend using the Pew Law Firm for your bankruptcy filing.
