Great from beginning to end

Starla made this experience very easy and she was very available to answer questions. She removed the stress from a stressful situation and provided me with preparation for my final hearing. I highly recommend her.

The best out there!

Starla represented me in 2017. At the time I was extremely nervous and her calming nature helped me get through the hard times and trust that everything would be ok. Years since we have talked and I just reached out to her for paperwork as I am buying a house! She responded right away with what I ne...eded and could also tell she was very happy of where I have come. Not only is she a fantastic lawyer but a great person. Highly recommend her services!

Excellent Knowledge and Great

Starla is excellent in communication. Was clear and concise when it came to any issues I needed regarding my Chp 7. Pricing was reasonable, esp. after consulting other firms her aid was worth every penny. The classes, though they're court ordered, are excellent at teach the fundamentals of credit and... was a nice refresher to set me up for future credit success. Only problem I had... I wish I had done this sooner with Starla.

Kind, Compassionate, Understanding, and a Lawyer Who Cares About Client

When I walked into Starla's office 6 years ago, I was completely overwhelmed by debt and felt defeated and terrified. Starla listened to me with compassion and guided me through the process of Chapter 7 bankruptcy. After our first appointment, I felt as if a weight of worry and grief lifted from my... shoulders and that everything would be okay in the end. After the bankruptcy was finalized, she offered practical suggestions to help me rebuild my credit. I have recently reached out to her with some additional questions from my case and for advice on continuing my journey of making sound financial decisions. She continues to give me clear and helpful legal advice in a nonjudgemental manner. I cannot describe fully how grateful I am to her for helping me through some of the most difficult times in my life.
