Client

Teresa Howard was one of the best attorneys that I met for a bankruptcy. She was always there for me Helping and contacted me best decision I made is meeting up with her

The Best

My family and I experienced a number of setbacks last year, we found ourselves in a situation where we needed help. After working with another lawyer and getting nowhere fast, I decided to redirect my efforts and money to Swindell & Associates. My experience was a pleasure; I was met with professiona...lism, compassion and respect. I had no idea what to expect about filing for bankruptcy. Nicole took time to explain everything to me; sometimes multiples times. She reviewed my documentation and kept track of many records. My case was moderately complicated; as a result, it took a while to complete. Teresa worked with me month after month, contacting me, requesting each month's documentation. This was new for me; I was used to continually reaching out to attorneys requesting the status of my case. Not here; once I provided Teresa with the requested documentation, she was providing a status on my case that same day or the next business day, by the latest. I was impressed. Filing bankruptcy was emotionally stressful to me, but necessary for my family. On many occasions, Teresa and Nicole listened to me with sincere compassion as I reconciled with my decision to file. I'm thankful for the opportunity to have met Teresa and Nicole; their professionalism, compassion and competence gave me reassurance, peace and a new beginning--with an abundance of gratitude, THANK YOU!!

Excellant

Mrs. Howard done a outstanding job with my case. It was complicated and her response time and legal advise was professional and accurate. I would recommend Mrs. Howard without reservation.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy lawyer | Feb 13

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Ms. Howard has represented debtors in Bankruptcy cases for many years; I represent creditors. She has always been a good business person, a professional and one who truly cares about her clients. She provides a good and valuable service and as a result she is entitled to a reasonable fee rather than simply trying to figure out how to make a buck with the least effort possible. If you want someone who is competent, reasonable, and diligent, you will have to look far and wide to do better than Ms. Howard."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
