Wonderful experience from the initial contact with Mr. Dellutri. Moving forward to Sephora and Isaac Roman they were very patient and extremely polite when assisting me through the initial process. Lauren Bush was very helpful and attentive to questions and provided excellent feedback. My overall experience has been excellent.

I recently worked with Gregory Champeau on my bankruptcy case, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, Gregory was thorough, professional, and supportive. He guided me through every step of the process, making sure I understood what was happening and what to expect. Everything went smoothly without any issues, thanks to his expertise and dedication. If you're looking for a bankruptcy lawyer who will be 100% committed to your case, I highly recommend Gregory. He truly made a difficult situation much easier to handle.

Faced with the very difficult choice to choose bankruptcy for my parents was a challenge. Hiring Ann-Marie to oversee the process was the best decision made. She not only provided an excellent legal road map but also showed compassion and care for my aging parents. Great attorney and outstanding person!
Thank you

I started the journey towards bankruptcy with trepidation and fear. My interview with Attorney Bowen left me feeling confident and optimistic about the process and outcome of such a difficult step. She was a guide that made the journey something easy, friendly and safe. I am greatly grateful for having been under her care for this process. Would recommend her above any other Attorney.

Mr. Leavengood and his staff at LeavenLaw helped me on a business dispute. Let me say, I was beyond thrilled with the service received, the outcome of the negotiations, and the final agreement. Mr. Leavengood is an expert in his field and I would not hesitate to use his services again should the need arise. I have worked with other attorney's in the past and would absolutely rank LeavenLaw at the top of the list.

I have used the Law Firm of Ian Leavengood and Associates in the past for business and personal matters years ago with great success. Ian delivered everything that was agreed upon. Just recently I had a business customer that I had dealings with that would not pay me for the work that I had done for them that was not of the ordinary realm of business. My atty that handles my daily business dealings could not get this customer to pay me for what was agreed upon. After 2 months of frustrations with my corporate atty. I decided to call Ian and discuss my dilemma. He was straight forward with me about what the cost would be by settling or going to trail. I left it in his hands and low and behold my customer paid me. Great work Ian and your associates for going above and beyond the call of duty!!

Attorney Leavengood and his team are extremely knowledgeable and professional. From the moment I came in for the consultation, I knew I was in good hands. During my consultation, Attorney Leavengood sat down with me and personally discussed my situation, expectations and goals. He laid everything out very clearly, let me know what I could expect and advised as to the different options he and his team could provide in order to best serve my needs. I was extremely impressed with the level of dedication and attention to detail Ian and his team spent on my case. I was kept in the loop with every step in the process and they made sure to answer any and all questions I had. Not only did Attorney Leavengood take care of the case I had originally hired him for, but he and his team noticed the creditor had engaged in some illegal collection practices, so they pursued a separate lawsuit to bring them to justice and secured a win for Florida consumers. I couldn't be happier with the services they provided (as well as the outcome) and would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of representation.

I was very reluctant to hire a bankruptcy attorney, for a few reasons. First, there's a service in the internet that takes you through the whole process for free (although you do the filing yourself). Second, too many "attorneys" out there. Well, the best decision I've made lately was to hire Stephen. He's very knowledgeable and supportive, and (very important!) ALWAYS replies back in a timely manner. And his fee ended up being more than fair for the peace of mind I had through the whole process. Well, I got discharged! Thanks Stephen!

I engaged Mr. Orchard's services initially because I received a court document naming me as a defendant in a foreclosure action. Having no idea that I was attached to the property, I needed a local attorney's help, as I live in a different state.
Mr. Orchard patiently explained the legal meaning of the documents to me (actually more than once). Further, in assessing the implications of the documents and their impact on me, I had to share very personal and emotional family issues of estrangement and family wounds.
Previously, I hired a PI to assist with the family issues, but he turned out to be a scammer. I hired a different atty years before for the family issue, who provided bum advice, blew through the retainer, and said that was all he could do. I contacted the sheriff's office, who said there was nothing they could do. I was ready to surrender.
Long story short, Mr. Orchard was able to assist in discovering the familial information I was seeking and absolutely needed (and failed to obtain), and continued to work patiently with me to educate and coach me on the legal recourse I had with respect to the foreclosure. Additionally, I found him to be extremely fair and reasonable regarding the retainer I paid and the manner in which it was used.
His services began in April, 2021, and effectively ended in August 2022. Throughout this time, Steve communicated with me regularly, kept me informed regarding actions taken and actions needed, and represented me in an honest and dependable manner. In fact, I trusted him completely, and felt he always acted in my best interest.
In reality, he went out of his way to ensure I received the surplus funds I deserved from the foreclosure. Plus, he did all of this work over a 16-month period ON A CONTIGENCY BASIS! He even consulted with other attorneys that specialized in a completely different area of law (that was a factor in the claim) in order to ensure he was advising me correctly.
I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Orchard again, and you shouldn't either. If you are looking for an attorney that sees you instead of your money, I highly recommend Mr. Orchard. I found him and his lawfirm to provide excellent service, sound and helpful advice, and to have the best ethical integrity of any lawyer I've engaged!

I would recommend Frank Papa for your legal needs. I had filed my chapter 13 bankruptcy with him and once I had completed my bankruptcy my mortgage company tried to add some pre-bankruptcy fees to my account. I tried to handle it myself but was not getting anywhere with the company. I contacted Frank who handled my case and he went right to work settling this matter. He showed compassion, understanding and most of concerned I was going through this. He is very knowledgeable of the laws and fought for me the “little guy” to resolve this issue. I personally appreciate and I’m very thankful for all he did for me. Again I would recommend him highly.

Ive never dealt with Attorneys before what a great experience to have Frank and Robert Geller Attorney firm to back you..Frank and the Firm treated me like Family.. He's truly a Blessing and so Thankful i called them...Frank went above and beyond for me im sure that he does for many others daily! God Bless you...Ive been Blessed.

Frank was assigned to me for my bankruptcy. BEST thing that’s happened to me in a long time! Frank is an AWESOME attorney who knows his business! You can, without doubt, rely on him for his experience, his knowledge and his innate smarts!
But he’s so MUCH MORE than that - he has been an exceptionally caring and supportive person and all-around wonderful in guiding me through my personal ordeal these last two years. In addition to these superlatives, Frank has been correct in all the decisions and choices he has guided me through! I recently told him that “he walks in water” and I truly do not know what I would have done without Frank’s help, guidance, support and genuine concern for me during this process.
I can’t say enough good things about Frank and highly recommend him!

No one plans for bankruptcy. It's not a goal or a benchmark in any plan. In my case, Covid caused a negative impact that I couldn't recover from. I lost everything.
I exhaustively searched for bankruptcy attorneys. Many, if not all, demanded thousands of dollars in fees with 50% down and 50% after filing. Along with the absorbent fees, there was a 100 page filing application and no help from their office or staff. Only the comment of "well that's the way it's been done for over 20 years".
I was both fortunate and blessed to have found Mike and Anna at Fresh Start. I was treated with dignity and compassion. At every step, Mike himself, as well as, his staff, were always available for questions.
In my case, Fresh Start offered a very reasonable and affordable repayment plan. Also, classes to re-establish my credit were made available.
If, for whatever reason, you need to find relief by filing for bankruptcy, you MUST have Mike and his team representing you! I am forever grateful to them for helping me during my darkest hours and offering me a hand up from the ground. Thank you.

Attorney Ozment and his staff were extremely helpful in guiding me through my Chapter 7 case. From the first meeting, I knew that I wanted his office to represent me. He outlined my options, explained everything about bankruptcy and filing simply and clearly, told me how much it would cost and payment options, helped me to understand the differences between the various chapters, and followed me through the process every step of the way. A week before my trustee meeting, his office scheduled an appointment for me to talk with Atty. Ozment by phone so he could explain the trustee meeting, how it would work, what questions I might be asked, and to go over information in my petition to make sure I understood all the details in the document. I really appreciated the time that he took to do that as it helped me be less nervous for the meeting. The staff in the office were also very helpful, kind, and supportive throughout the process. I also appreciated that they were responsive to emails and respectful of my time and commitments through the process, too. Highly recommend!

Jeff and his staff helped me with my chapter 7 bankruptcy case. I initially attempted to do the process on my own and failed at it. After looking into getting legal counsel I came across the Badgley Law Firm. The reviews were great and very informative. Upon my first consultation via phone I was offered an in person interview with Jeff which was a nice change because other firms wanted to do virtual meetings. I met with Jeff and he explained how things worked and reviewed my case. He was upfront with the process and cost and then said he would be able to assist me with my case. The first 341 creditors meeting had to be rescheduled and the second one was successful. I was able to be in the office for the meeting with Jeff right there in case I didn’t understand what the trustee was asking me. That helped me so much because I tend to get confused when doing the virtual meetings. Gisel was great as she kept me informed about my case and gathered all the paperwork needed to proceed with my case. I’m forever grateful for Jeff Badgley and his team for assisting me. A huge stress relief for me and my family.

It's not easy to file for bankruptcy, let alone find a reputable attorney. I didn't want to talk about it to any of my friends or relatives, so my husband googled "Best Bankruptcy Lawyer in Sarasota, FL" and Ms. Sherry Ellis' name popped up. I've had no regrets since contacting her. The amount of paperwork was insurmountable but Ms. Sherry explained the need and how it would help to determine the type of bankruptcy to file for. She has guided me throughout the whole process and was at my side during the court intervention. I didn't feel alone or ashamed of having to file for bankruptcy at all.

We have been stressing over this situation for years but after finding Kaelyn Diamond, Esq. and Ziegler Diamond Law/Debtfighters, it was taken care of in just a few short months.

My wife and I had a business go under in 2019. Carolyn treated us with respect and told us everything we needed to do, to file our business bankruptcy. She took away the guilt we were feeling by being so supportive and sweet. Her assistant Sam, guided us through every step that we needed to follow for the trustee. Because we had so much debt from the business, we also had to file personal bankruptcy. Again Carolyn and Sam were there to explain everything and guide us through the process. They were always there to answer our questions. Carolyn even called us back to answer our question while she was on vacation in another country. How many lawyers would do that? Both bankruptcies went smoothly because of Carolyns' expertise, efficiency and knowledge. We recommend Carolyn Secor to everyone who needs an efficient lawyer who treats you like family and will get things done . She makes an uncomfortable situation comfortable. Thank you so much Carolyn we appreciate you getting us through this difficult time, Ron & Cory.

I immediately felt better after talking to him because he is a so smart, and an unusually genuine and warm person who converses in a direct professional manner and stays focused and interested In the conversation, answering every question, He does not answer his phone or going off on tangents, he’s with you 100%.

Caroly is very professional. She is quite knowledgeable, not to mention her wealth of experience in providing quality services to her clientele. It's obvious to me that money is not the driving force on which her practice is built; rather, it seems like she has a natural inclination and passion to help people in ensuring a higher level of care for their wellbeing. She is also warm and welcoming. Her price is very reasonable and she will keep you informed with the process, as well as the requisite documents needed for the completion of the application. Most importantly, she will not mislead you with erroneous information. She stays current with all the new laws because she sends frequent mails with updated and proposed laws that will be in effect to keep us aware. Thanks Caroly and I have no regrets with working with you. With this being said, I have no reservation in terms of recommending Caroly as a competent and caring lawyer.

Allen Turnage and his entire team helped us through the Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
Thank God in Jesus name for all the dedication and effort as well as time walking us through this process.
We recently had to reach out to Mr Turnage about some information and he as well as Nolan we're helpful. I should have posted this back in 2017.

I normally do not post reviews but felt compelled after working with Shivon and her team. My husband and I met Shivon last year to help us with my late father's estate. My father had many properties and assets that we were not aware of and passed with only a will after a short battle with cancer. Shivon guided us through the entire probate process and helped us liquidate the assets over time. My siblings and I are so appreciative of Shivon and her abilities to walk us through the very complicated legal processes over the past year. Having gone through this lengthy estate experience, my husband and I had Shivon do our estate planning and trust as well to protect us. My entire family will always be forever grateful to Shivon and will use her services exclusively in the future for our legal needs.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
