Perez Law Group has an amazing team. Erika was on top of everything from day one. She kept us informed through every step and process. Cristina Perez was amazing as well and also walked us through every step of getting our settlement. Would definitely recommend Perez Law Group as they didn’t just settle and fought for what we deserved. Thank you to everyone at Perez Law Group for doing everything you possibly could for my family and I.

If you need a quality, fierce and tenacious lawyer with strong ethics and morals - hire John and team. No doubt the best legal team here or anywhere. I was suddenly and severely injured due to extreme negligence requiring immediate surgery, follow-up surgery with a year of painful physical therapy in and more to come. Never sued anyone before but there was no choice other than hire a strong lawyer. John Phebus is outstanding at getting exceptional results, timely and fair. John and Holly had my back when my active athletic life was turned upside down. Thank you both, and I mean this in the nicest way - I hope I never need you again but am very proud to call you friend.

Trent (Lead Paralegal) and Kelly Law Team, did a fantastic job assisting our family with our MVA claim. My wife was the victim of an irresponsible 25 year old male driver named ZION KAI PALMOMINO ORTIZ who failed to yield, ran the light and hit my wife's vehicle head on at McQueen and Elliot Rd on February 14, 2024 at 7am. My wife suffered horrific injuries as the result of the other driver's (ZION KAI PALMOMINO ORTIZ) incompetence: internal bleeding, knocked unconscious, an open compound fracture of her right knee with her bone exposed thru her right leg, her right patella was completely destroyed, she had ten broken ribs, a broken left ankle, major loss of blood, a severe concussion, lower lumbar spine damage, and she had to be transported to the hospital as a Jane Doe because she was unconscious when Gilbert Police and Paramedics arrived at the scene of the accident. My wife's vehicle was totaled and it is a miracle that she was not killed. The other driver, ZION KAI PALMOMINO ORTIZ was arrested and criminally cited. The at fault incompetent other driver, ZION KAI PALMOMINO ORTIZ was arrested by GPD and criminally cited with Offense # 1 90Z-3A 28-672 - SERIOUS FATAL OR INJ ACCIDENT-FAIL TO COMPLY TRAFFIC OFFENSE / ACCIDENT CRIMINAL CHARGING - COMPLETED. (Statute 28-672A SERIOUS FATAL OR INJ ACCIDENT-FAIL TO COMPLY W/ SEC. A1-A7 (M). ) Please know that Personal Injury judgements in the state of Arizona are fully dischargeable when the at fault party files Chapter 7 bankruptcy; when this happens, you will get nothing for your horrific injuries you suffered and for your pain and suffering. So your choices are to spend 2+ years of your life obtaining a personal injury judgement against them only to have them file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and wipe our your judgment, or accept their auto insurance liability limit on their auto policy and not pursue the personal injury judgement in court. The at fault party gets off Scot free with their only consequence being a higher monthly insurance bill while you have serious health consequences for the rest of your life. This Arizona personal injury law favors the at fault party and needs to change. We could have pursued the Personal Injury Judgement and forced the at fault party ZION KAI PALMOMINO ORTIZ and parents whose son was on their auto policy at GEICO: ORTIZ JAMES/PALOMINO-ORTIZ EMILY to file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Trent is very knowledgeable and made sure that we were fully aware of all the steps taken throughout the entire claims process. He made this complex lengthy MVA case stress free and was always pleasant and available. I highly recommended Kelly Law Team Phoenix. Thank you Trent and John Kelly for delivering the best possible outcome for our family.

I was in an unexpected and unfortunate car accident in late December of 2023. With the amazing help from Kelly Law Team, this complex and lengthy process became stress free and easy to understand, as the team is very communicative and will go through lengths to make sure everything is able to be broken down and understood. I worked with amazing paralegals, and would like to give recognition to Trent who closed this case in August of 2024. I am so very grateful that this case was able to come to a resolution very quickly and with such ease. Thank you so much!

Stephen has the expertise of AZ bankruptcy law and years of litigation that I was looking for. This was evident in the first conversation/consultation with him. My case was fairly involved and he clearly explained each step of the process, what I needed to do, and promptly addressed my concerns along the way. He thoroughly prepared the bankruptcy paperwork and provided proper documentation to the court. This resulted in a smooth process with the trustee and a favorable end result.

From beginning to end everything was so easy and professionally handled. At the beginning I was scared and skeptical because I got so many different quotes and answers to my questions except for the Moak law firm who on three separate times gave me the same answers every time that’s why I decided to go with them. Hiring Moak law firm was the best thing I could have done. I had nothing to worry about as long I did what need to be done on time. I am so happy I choose this law firm. And if you need to file bankruptcy this is the firm to go with THE MOAK LAW FIRM. Thank you mr Moak and all the office people who sent emails and made sure I understood everything.

Navigating bankruptcy was an intimidating and stressful process for me, but working with Diane Drain made all the difference. From our first consultation, Diane was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. She guided me through each step with compassion and clarity, ensuring I understood every detail. Diane's expertise was evident in every interaction, and her commitment to her clients is unparalleled. She was always available to answer my questions and provided detailed explanations, which made the whole process much more manageable. Her paralegal, Jay, was equally supportive and always ready to assist. What stood out to me was Diane's dedication to making sure I felt prepared and protected throughout the entire journey. She went above and beyond to provide not just legal support but also emotional support, helping me see the light at the end of the tunnel. I highly recommend Diane Drain to anyone seeking a bankruptcy attorney. Her skill, compassion, and dedication are truly remarkable, and I am forever grateful for her help in turning a difficult time into a path toward financial freedom. Thank you Diane and Jay!

I found Diane Drain just by going through Google and looking for an attorney who can help me understand bankruptcy. She was quick to reply to my questions and clearly explained what will be expected of me. It was a scary thought for me, filing for bankruptcy because I have always believed that I should he responsible for my debts even if they have been putting me in so much stress that my health started to suffer. But Diane showed me that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that I am not alone in my struggle. Diane and her assistant, Jay, helped me without stressing me more. They made the process easy. They made me feel better and made me learn to accept the fact that I cannot help myself get out of my situation alone, that I needed help. Accepting this fact was hard for me as I have always been an independent person but years of desolation, burdened by debts, have made me so depressed and at the end of my wits. I am so thankful I got to encounter two amazing people who helped me every step of the way.

Kristopher Childers and Brant Hodyno were very helpful on dot on what i was looking for.

Brant was in middle of a client meeting, then also picked my phone and told me text him with contact details. I like the professional way of ack. someone. His counterpart/expert contacted me back in less than an hour. Kristopher Childers - heard me, understood my situation. He didn't go on and on rather asked to produce certain case copies to find out where we stand. He understood and explained what needs to be done with guidance to avoid falling in to such situations.

I fell behind on my HOA and decided it best to File a chapter 7 BK (Pro Se) in 2018 to prevent the HOA from foreclosing. At that time my equity was well below the then homestead exemption of 150K which made my home exempt. I was discharged in 2018 and thought I was in the clear specifically with my HOA to start paying them at the first of the year which I started immediately. Fast Forward to the pandemic, that is when I was notified by the BK trustee that he indeed grant me a discharge but had not closed my case, and with the equity I had now had in my home he would be listing it for sale. After going through the heartache of opening my home to possible buyers and not knowing where my family would move to for 8 months, my family home did not sell. That is when I contacted BK attorneys to see what I needed to do next because the Trustee was threatening a Sheriff sale. NO OTHER ATTORNEY except Jason Treguboff would even speak to me because my BK had already been filed back in 2018. Jason's first words to me were " I would like to be your last resort in this matter in filing for a chapter 13" Jason is a PURE ANGEL walking this earth ! He took my calls responded promptly my text messages and thoroughly explained to me what I needed to do since this case was filed as a PRO SE. He saw and guided me to the light when I was in pure darkness for 2 years not knowing if I would loose my 1st/forever home. I am truly grateful that I found Treguboff Law, PLC and didn’t just crawl under a rock and give up. I am Forever Grateful!

We were very fortunate to have found Mr. Larry Karandreas to handle our Chapter 13 bankruptcy. I highly recommend him! He is a superb negotiator who is staunchly on your side. Our case was somewhat complicated and we ran into several unexpected snags during the course of our bankruptcy. Mr. Karandreas handled these surprises with professional aplomb. At the outset of our case Mr. Karandreas was able to set aside a large portion of our debt that was held by unsecured creditors that had not contacted us for a number of months. This was very helpful. Mr. Karandreas is clear and concise about what he needs to receive from you. He works to keep his fees as low as possible, but never misses a deadline, always giving you ample notice. He has a Shakespearean sense of humor with which he paints word pictures that leave the judge with no doubt as to the character of predatory lenders. If you choose Mr. Karandreas for your bankruptcy attorney, you will be in good hands. Thank you Larry Karandreas for a job well done!

Elizabeth (Beth) was fantastic, I could not have asked for a better attorney. While the idea of bankruptcy proceedings was a little frightening, Beth's demeanor always left me feeling at ease and confident in what to do next. She was excellent at fielding questions and concerns via email quickly and clearly. I would recommend Beth to anyone I know that finds him or herself in a situation similar to mine. Thanks, Beth!

I needed assistance on how to fix my credit and perhaps purchase a small condo/townhouse. I had a credit score of 517 across board, 4 hard inquiries (11-6-2019) 3 open accounts (car note, $35,000) and student loans (187,000-greatest mistake of my financial life); 3 negative marks, totaling $7,000-thought of asking for a pay to delete before learned about PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST on MyFico blog. It still seems like a dream but I now have a FICO score of 811 and all hard inquiries, student loan, open accounts erased from my report and every debt now appears as paid on time. I sincerely appreciate the service I got from PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST I encourage everyone who has credit issues to quickly contact them on:

Here is some good news for those who are thinking about filing for bankruptcy. At first, considering a bankruptcy was a depressing experience. Finding an attorney that you could trust to provide you the best advice was not easy. Getting experienced and knowledgeable legal advice was a "lifesaver" during this process. Mark, and his wife Kelly, are The Team that walked us through a painful and oftentimes scary process that protected our hard earned assets and allowed us to pay off some creditors which made us feel that we had been as responsible as allowable under the law. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy allowed General Motors to survive and to save thousands of jobs. It help us to also survive and continue to feel like productive citizens that just didn't walk out paying nothing to those creditors that the law said we had to pay. We completed the process successfully and we know we did it because of the excellent services provided by Mark and Kelly. We highly recommend that if anybody finds themselves facing financial difficulties to call Mark & Kelly. They will provide the light at the end of the tunnel and get you through what is really not a scary process at all.

I work with attorneys on a daily basis, so I feel I have a good understanding of how many of them act and function in their day to day operations. Financial hardships fell on my family, and I placed 3 calls to 3 separate attorneys. In all 3 calls, I was not able to get a hold of the attorney. Dwayne was the only attorney that returned my call. In fact, he returned my call that same day, after hours, even though I called his office after hours. He apologized for calling me back at a later time, but explained that he understood that this was a high priority for me. That was the first reason why I decided to work with him. As we went through the process of getting my case outlined, and filed, Dwayne never missed a step. He was always honest, completely open to the possibilities of what we could expect to happen, and what we needed to do to make our case bullet proof (being completely honest and open about our situation; no shady stuff). He and his staff were always there for either me or my wife, and answered all of our questions explicitly. He worked with us at every step, and made it as stress-less as filing bankruptcy can be. I don't think you can find a better bankruptcy attorney in Arizona. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Last year, I consulted the Neeley Law Firm and we decided to go with his services. Attorney Neeley and his staff are exceptional. I had filed a CHPT 7 for my folks, and at the moment it felt like everything was crumbling to pieces. All of the staff we worked with were very responsive and answered all of our questions. Our world has come back together, and we have recovered. My family feels like this firm has made a huge impact on our lives today. Attorney Neeley is very, very good at his job. I would highly recommend his firm to anyone. Five stars and a smile.

Mr. Nemeth picked up my case after about two years into the process and did a fantastic job. He was very responsive, knowledgeable and compassionate. I was extremely stressed from my previous lawyer and after my initial consultation with Mr. Nemeth felt very confident there would be no more worries. Thank you so much!

He was honest with his legal scope on the matter, and was effectively able take care of all our necessary needs in a thorough, professional manner to ensure we did everything according to law and IRS compliance.

I recommend Michael Faith very highly. Michael took me on as a client in real estate dispute. Michael’s vast knowledge of the law made it possible for him to discover information about my case of which I was not aware. He took, what due to the other party, became a very complicated case and found ways for me to not only win the case, but to protect me in the future regarding issues around this property. I found Faith, Ledyard & Faith, PLC through my Arizona Teacher’s Association, where Faith Law offered a discount to educators. Because this case went on for a great length of time, Michael was also very considerate of my financial situation by having correspondence through emails as opposed to phone calls or meetings as he did not have to charge as much for an email. Michael often would send me emails on the weekend, showing that he spent time during his non office hours to work on my case. Michael Faith is an extremely skilled, qualified, honest and caring attorney who goes the extra mile for his clients. I don't know what I would have done without Michael's help!

What a Bankruptcy Lawyer Can Do for You

A bankruptcy lawyer specializes in helping individuals and businesses manage overwhelming debt by filing for bankruptcy or exploring alternatives to bankruptcy. They guide clients through the complex legal process of discharging or restructuring debts, represent them in court, and work to protect assets such as homes and cars. Bankruptcy lawyers can also help stop creditor harassment, wage garnishment, and foreclosures through bankruptcy protections.

If you're facing financial hardship, a bankruptcy lawyer can help you decide whether filing for bankruptcy is the right option and assist you through the legal process.

When Should I Hire a Bankruptcy Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a bankruptcy lawyer in the following situations:

  • Unmanageable debt: If you're unable to pay your bills and debts are piling up, a lawyer can help you explore options such as Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
  • Foreclosure or repossession: If your home is at risk of foreclosure or your vehicle is in danger of being repossessed, a bankruptcy lawyer can help you use bankruptcy protections to prevent this and potentially reorganize your debts.
  • Wage garnishment: If your wages are being garnished, filing for bankruptcy can stop garnishments and allow you to regain control of your finances.
  • Creditor harassment: If creditors are constantly calling or sending collection notices, a bankruptcy lawyer can stop these actions by filing for bankruptcy, which enacts an automatic stay that halts collection activities.
  • Small business debt: If your business is struggling with debt and cannot meet financial obligations, a lawyer can help you file for Chapter 11 (reorganization) or Chapter 7 (liquidation) bankruptcy.
  • Medical debt or credit card debt: If you have large amounts of unsecured debt like medical bills or credit card balances, a bankruptcy lawyer can help you seek relief through Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Hiring a bankruptcy lawyer early in the process can prevent further financial damage and help you choose the best legal option for debt relief.

What Does a Bankruptcy Lawyer Do?

A bankruptcy lawyer provides a range of services to help individuals and businesses handle their debts. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Evaluating your financial situation: Assessing your income, assets, debts, and expenses to determine if bankruptcy is the right option and which type of bankruptcy (Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or Chapter 11) best suits your situation.
  • Filing bankruptcy petitions: Preparing and filing the necessary documents to initiate your bankruptcy case, ensuring that all legal requirements are met.
  • Stopping creditor harassment: Once the bankruptcy case is filed, an automatic stay is enacted, which stops creditors from pursuing collection efforts. A lawyer ensures this protection is applied immediately.
  • Representing you in court: Representing you in court proceedings, including meetings with creditors and any hearings related to your case.
  • Negotiating with creditors: In Chapter 13 or Chapter 11 bankruptcies, negotiating a repayment plan that restructures your debts and allows you to manage payments more effectively.
  • Advising on asset protection: Guiding you on how to protect certain assets, such as your home or retirement savings, through available bankruptcy exemptions.
  • Explaining the impact on your credit: Informing you about how bankruptcy will affect your credit and advising on steps to rebuild your credit post-bankruptcy.

How Are Bankruptcy Lawyers Paid?

Bankruptcy lawyers typically charge for their services in different ways depending on the complexity of the case and the type of bankruptcy being filed. Common payment structures include:

  • Flat fee: Many bankruptcy lawyers charge a flat fee for handling Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases. This fee usually covers the entire process, from preparing and filing paperwork to representing you in court.
  • Hourly rate: For more complex cases, such as Chapter 11 bankruptcy (often used by businesses), some lawyers charge an hourly rate. Hourly rates typically range from $150 to $500 or more.
  • Retainer: In cases where ongoing legal services are required, such as in Chapter 11 bankruptcies or complex Chapter 13 cases, a lawyer may request a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as the lawyer works on the case.

It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer upfront, as bankruptcy law requires lawyers to disclose all fees and ensure they are reasonable and fair.

How Much Does a Bankruptcy Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a bankruptcy lawyer varies depending on the type of bankruptcy and the complexity of the case. General cost estimates include:

  • Chapter 7 bankruptcy: For individuals, legal fees usually range from $1,000 to $3,500. This flat fee generally covers the entire process.
  • Chapter 13 bankruptcy: For individuals filing Chapter 13, legal fees typically range from $2,500 to $6,000. This cost is higher because of the additional work required to create and manage the repayment plan.
  • Chapter 11 bankruptcy (for businesses): Chapter 11 bankruptcy is more complex and usually more expensive, with legal fees ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the size of the business and the complexity of the debt restructuring.
  • Filing fees: In addition to legal fees, there are also court filing fees, which are $338 for Chapter 7 and $313 for Chapter 13 as of 2024.

Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand what services are included and whether payment plans are available.

Top Questions to Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer

Before hiring a bankruptcy lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and knowledge to handle your case effectively. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with bankruptcy cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee or hourly rate, and ask for a detailed breakdown of costs, including filing fees and additional expenses.
  3. Which type of bankruptcy is best for me?
    Ask the lawyer to explain whether Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or Chapter 11 is the best option based on your financial situation and long-term goals.
  4. What debts can be discharged?
    Ask which of your debts will be forgiven through bankruptcy and which debts (such as certain taxes or student loans) may not be dischargeable.
  5. How long will the process take?
    Bankruptcy cases can take time to resolve, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last, from filing to discharge.
  6. Will I be able to keep my assets?
    Ask if you will be able to keep important assets, such as your home or car, and what exemptions might apply.
  7. What happens after bankruptcy?
    Ask about the impact of bankruptcy on your credit score and what steps you can take to rebuild your credit after the bankruptcy is finalized.

How to Check the Credibility of a Bankruptcy Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable bankruptcy lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for bankruptcy experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in bankruptcy law and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and ability to handle bankruptcy cases.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on bankruptcy matters.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Look for lawyers who are members of organizations such as the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA) or who have specialized bankruptcy law certifications.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a bankruptcy lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • List of debts: Prepare a detailed list of all your debts, including credit cards, personal loans, medical bills, and any secured debts such as mortgages or car loans.
  • Income and expense records: Bring documents that show your current income, such as pay stubs or tax returns, and a list of your monthly expenses, including rent, utilities, and other essential costs.
  • Asset information: Provide information on any assets you own, such as your home, car, investments, or other valuable property.
  • Credit reports: If possible, bring copies of your credit reports to give the lawyer a clear view of your financial situation.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions you have about the bankruptcy process, the lawyer’s fees, and what to expect after filing for bankruptcy.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your needs.
