Best Bankruptcy Attorney in Mesa and Phoenix

My wife and I hired Mr Pew to help us through a difficult time. We owed a lot of money on credit cards and our house was going into foreclosure. He walked us through the whole process. We originally tried to file bankruptcy by ourselves, but found it to be too difficult. There's just too many form...s and deadlines. I have hired attorneys before (not bankruptcy, but other kinds of attorneys) and often had a difficult time even getting them to return my phone calls! Mr Pew calls me back every single time I leave him a message. He's very prompt and friendly. I like the fact that his office is close to my work place in Phoenix so it's easy to get to. His rates were reasonable and fair, especially compared to other bankruptcy law firms in phoenix. We only had 1 small bump, but he was able to fix it right away. I highly recommend you give him a call.

Help at the time of my husband's death

Mr. Pew ws a great help to me. I had so many things to think and about and arange. He gave me sound advice and instructions on how to proceed. He also did our taxes which were very difficult for me to figure out. The death of my spouse make it very confusing how to do the taxes. Changing circums...tances in my life were stressful and Mr. Pew's assistance and accuracy were invaluable.

D minus

I was a client of Mr. Pew and paid him a retainer in advance. What I did not like about his service is that he did not reply to phone calls, did not provide the transcripts I requested in a timely manner, and provided information that was in contradiction with information from the IRS agent. Due to... this incorrect information, I had money taken from my account.

At Pew Law Center, we pride ourselves on superior client services. Unfortunately, neither the commenter nor AVVO will reveal the name of the client so we can right any possible wrongs that may have been committed and verify that they are a client. Certainly, we would do anything within our power to correct the situation and we hope the affected party contacts us. We will make it right! The Pew Law Center is dedicated to helping our clients make it through difficult times with little or no inconvenience to their lives. It appears that this possible client was a tax client. My former Law Partner managed the Tax resolution division of my former firm. As such, he would have been assigned to handle this client. However, we have parted ways and we no longer work together. He was not able to meet the service standards that I demand from me and my staff. With that said, it still pains me to have my name associated with this type of remark. While I know you can’t please everyone, it is the Pew Law Center’s standard to go the “Extra Mile” in all cases. On the rare occasion we make a mistake, we do all in our power to correct it! This comment displays the difficulty in working the IRS. Many times we have seen or heard the IRS agent or officer give conflicting information to taxpayers. Taxpayers must be aggressive in asserting their rights. The IRS has been known to bulldoze the taxpayer and snatch money out of the taxpayer’s bank account. We stop the IRS! Our clients keep their money. If the client comes to us after the IRS has taken their money, many times we can get that money back. We can do some amazing things to resolve peoples and businesses tax issues. However, the client must follow our advice and provide the information that we request. At the Pew Law Center, we serve our clients to our utmost ability. We encourage our clients to speak up if they ever have an issue with staff or perceive a problem with the way their case is being handled. We want our clients’ feedback and input. These are traumatic and stressful situations and we want to know how to make your life better.
