Great attorney that actually cares
This is a bankruptcy attorney that sees you as a person, not just a chapter 7 or 13. Pat really cares about his clietns and meets with them to make sure that bankruptcy is the right choice.

Patrick Edward Mcmahon's Lawyer Endorsements
"I am impressed by Attorney McMahon's credentials. I endorse this lawyer."
"Patrick McMahon is one of the top bankruptcy attorneys in the Bay Area. He's been doing this for over 15 years. He knows the law inside and out, and can explain to you the impact it will have on your specific situation. He's agressive where appropriate, meanwhile maintaining an excellent repuation with the Court, the trustees, and other lawyers."
"As another San Francisco bankruptcy attorney, I've had the opportunity to see Pat's work over the years and to work with him presenting seminars. He is an experienced and compassionate lawyer."
"Mr. McMahon is a highly competent attorney, especially in his specialty of bankruptcy. I refer all my clients, as well as others, that need the services of a bankruptcy attorney. He cares about his client's circumstances, understands all the intricacies of bankruptcy law, and handles his cases with a high degree of professionalism and diligence. I do not hesitate to endorse this lawyer's work."
"I have referred several people to Patrick McMahon for legal advice and representation on bankruptcy matters. They were all very impressed with his knowledge of the many details and nuances of bankruptcy law and were grateful for his very personable and comprehensive approach to their financial issues. Some of those individuals have had bad experience with bankruptcy lawyers prior to meeting Mr. McMahon and were happy to finally receive a competent advice from an attorney who has been practicing bankruptcy law exclusive for over 12 years. I personally had a few questions about bankruptcy law that I thought were quite challenging. However, Patrick would answer those questions right away and very specifically, which was yet another proof of his mastery of this area of law. Arkady Itkin, Esq."
