I cannot recommend Attorney Jeanne Pennebaker highly enough! From the moment I retained her for my Chapter 13 case, she exhibited unmatched professionalism, compassion, and dedication. Navigating the complexities of the Chapter 13 process was overwhelming, but she made the entire process manageable, taking the time to explain every detail and ensuring I was always informed.
Over the past five years, she has consistently gone above and beyond my expectations. Her thoroughness and expertise were evident in every interaction, and she listened and treated my case with the utmost care and respect. No question was too small, no concern too trivial—she was always there to guide and support me through it.
Thanks to her unwavering commitment, my case was discharged my plan and I am now in a much better financial position. If you’re looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated attorney, Jeanne Pennebaker is definitely the one to call. She truly changed my life, and I am forever grateful!

I had the pleasure of working with Nicole Lombardi, and I can’t say enough about her professionalism and patience. She guided me through the process of gathering all the necessary documents for filing and took the time to explain everything in detail, including the differences between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Her support made a potentially overwhelming process feel manageable. I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone considering filing for bankruptcy.

John C. Woodman at Essex Richards, P.A., was exceptional in handling our business bankruptcy and the associated hearings. He was always fair, prompt, honest, and highly responsive. John understood the complexities of our situation, including the emotions and embarrassment tied to a large-scale asset case, and guided us with compassion and professionalism.
Thanks to his thorough and thoughtful approach, we felt supported throughout the process. Because of the care and expertise shown, we will undoubtedly rely on John and his firm for any future legal matters. He is highly recommend!

I am being sued by an intermediate of a creditor I paid. After a year and a half of defending myself to through the courts against the likes of a billion dollar company that has been found guilty of defrauding customers through oversight agencies already, I thought this was a slam dunk case.
The judge must have forgot to eat his Wheaties it seems because things didn't play out that well. This is the same judge that threw a victim of partner abuse in jail because her abuser was one of his lawyer/church buddies. Yes, I will likely be writing a screenplay about this.
So I called this law firm hoping for help. They were trying to push me into something rapidly that would harm me. After the trauma I just went through with the legal system, this certainly wasn't appreciated. They even had the nerve to ask for a review that same day! YIKES. Well today is the day I deliver on that review.
They then put you into an email and text communication sequence. Telling you they will always be there for you, but when you try to get answers, they leave you hanging without answers.
If you want a lawyer that promises much and delivers much less, I believe this may be the perfect firm for you. If you want someone that lives up to their salt, you will need to keep looking. And so I will because I must. If you know of a good lawyer 🙃 please let me know. I really could use one right now it seems.

I’m not much on writing reviews but I feel like I’d be doing a disservice by not sucking it up for the gain of others after having done business with Mr. Berggren. Being 50 I come from the age of filing being something taboo and I couldn’t say with any more certainty it was by far one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I immediately had a weight lifted off my shoulders after going to court with Bill and being approved to file with the damages I had caused myself financially. Not only was I able to keep my car and home but I was able to walk away from bad decisions in my opinion such as a time share, high interest loan, etc. I spent a lot of time checking others reviews and one of the many great things about filing with Bill is the fact you deal with the person you hire. It’s not like the offices of big name lawyers where you deal with all their up and comers. Not that they don’t deserve their right to make a name for themselves but when you’re talking about salvaging everything I’ve ever worked for having him by my side in court and every step of the way was lets say a blessing. Should you need to make this decision to better your financial and mental well being you can’t go wrong with working with Bill in my opinion. Best Wishes in your endeavors and I pray you’re blessed as I have been in your future years both mentally and financially.

I am not writing this review as a bankruptcy client of Mr. Berggren…..it is quite the opposite. This review, which I hope to post everywhere, is about Mr. B’s character, his courtesy and understanding, his extreme knowledge of contractual and bankruptcy laws, and his professionalism (not to mention his terrific sense of humor).
On 3/3/23, I signed a contract with Covenant Roofing in Durham, as well as the financing documents for the job through GoodLeap, which Covenant refers their clients to for financing options.
About 5 weeks after I signed the contracts, no work had yet been started, Covenant Roofing filed for bankruptcy. Also, GoodLeap increased the amount of the contract I signed and they would not give me an addendum or a voided contract of the first one I signed, even though that amount was included AGAIN in the second set of loan documents. Of course, I would not sign the second set.
A friend of mine is a bankruptcy client of Mr. B, and she suggested I contact him for an unusual sort of consultation. First of all, somebody actually answered the phone when I called his office, and second of all, he called me right back. He said he would be happy to talk about my situation right over the phone, and third of all, with NO CONSULTATION FEE after 40 minutes on the phone. Amazing.
The bottom line is that, even though he is not my lawyer or representing me in any way, I took his advice on what to do which resulted in me getting out of my GoodLeap financing loan. And because I have it documented and memorialized that Covenant never started the work, nor did they return my calls and inquiries, that matter is also considered as null and void.
Thank you Mr. Berggren for being a decent human being who is ruled and driven by just doing something nice!

As a financial planner who has worked with many different estate planning attorneys, I was blown away by the team at Strauss. I just left a funding meeting with Peter McGuire and was thoroughly impressed with how easy and comfortable the process was for my clients. The team is responsive, approachable, and easy to talk to. They took extra time to make sure the documents will be implemented appropriately and that the financial planning team is well informed of the decisions and next steps. This truly creates the best outcome for our shared clients. Kudos to them.

I reached out to her about my situations and she was rude and unprofessional. I was explaining my situations and once I mention the companies she tried to argue me with PROCEDURES and I stated I know I'm not a professional but I just read laws on contract repudiation/breach, then i was interrupted, she went on more about the procedures then I asked well what about this statute and that one and since when does procedure triumph the law. Being that the loan was sold makes the contract an actual breach, she interrupted and said. Look you called me asking for my help and if you're going to try and tell me how things go and don't want to listen then I may not be the attorney for you and if you're not going to listen I will terminate the call in a very aggressive and annoyed tone, like I was her child. I replied you need to watch your tone and I will find another attorney because you don't even want to hear me out, you keep being rude trying to talk over me and interrupting telling me about the procedures. I'm very aware that loans get sold on the regular but there is still a correct procedure that should be done and the North Carolina General Statutes speaks on them and I can read and comprehend very well. As I was speaking she was interrupting by attempting to speaking over me which annoyed me, like where is the professionalism. And I ended to the call because I let her actions take me out of character. And all I was trying to do was get advice.
Then I get on here and see she has a mediator title as well, now that's hilarious.

Kerry and his team are fantastic! I am a North Carolina personal injury lawyer and have referred clients to Cameron Bankruptcy because I don't handle those cases. I've always had great feedback and just had a client who is so very relieved by Kerry's assistance with a bankruptcy that arose due to a severe accident that left my client with large bills after she was unable to work for some time. We secured a settlement that was protected from creditors' claims, and my client was able to get back on the successful path she enjoyed before the accident. Cameron Bankrutpcy Law put out some huge financial fires and my client is so happy with their service and results.
Thanks Kerry for being there for the clients I have referred. I recommend this bankruptcy firm to anyone who is facing overwhelming financial pressure from creditors. True experts in bankruptcy law!

I recently had a consultation with Kerry, and I couldn't be more pleased with the zoom meeting. He took the time to thoroughly explain the entire bankruptcy process, which was incredibly helpful given how overwhelming it can be.
One of the standout aspects of the consultation was transparency regarding pricing. He provided a detailed breakdown of the costs involved, so I knew exactly what to expect. This level of clarity was refreshing and alleviated a lot of my concerns about financial obligations moving forward.
Moreover, the He was patient answering all of my questions without hesitation. Whether it was about the different types of bankruptcy, eligibility requirements, or the timeline of the process, he addressed everything comprehensively. I left the consultation feeling informed and empowered to make the right decisions for my financial future.
Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend this company to anyone facing bankruptcy. Their expertise, professionalism, and willingness to share knowledge truly set them apart. If you're in need of assistance with bankruptcy, look no further!

Having a reliable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and empathetic attorney to help with employment issues has been invaluable to me--and Holly is that attorney. She has provided me with peace of mind and treated me with respect and empathy during some difficult career transitions. Uniquely, she is detail-oriented while also seeing the big picture and always listens to my concerns and questions without ever being condescending or dismissive. I highly recommend Hammer Law for anyone who needs help with legal employment matters. She will treat you with the dignity and honesty you need when faced with professional uncertainty.

I will definitely be calling him if I ever receive another ticket in Union County. Thank you, Mr. Witt.

I am thrilled to share a review of my experience with Lapas Law Firm, particularly with the exceptional personal service and dedication of Adrian Lapas and his team. My journey with Lapas Law Firm has been nothing short of outstanding, and I am genuinely satisfied with the level of professionalism and expertise they have consistently demonstrated.
From the very beginning of my legal matter, Adrian Lapas displayed a deep commitment to my case. His attention to detail, legal knowledge, and genuine concern for my well-being were evident from our first consultation. It was clear that he and his firm were dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for their clients, and this dedication never wavered throughout the entire process.
One aspect that truly stood out was the respect and reputation that Lapas Law Firm has within the legal community, particularly with trustees. It was clear that Adrian Lapas and his team were well-respected by their peers, which undoubtedly played a significant role in the positive outcome of my case. This level of professional respect is a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence and their clients' best interests.
Furthermore, the respect and dedication that Lapas Law Firm demonstrated towards me as a client were unparalleled. Adrian and his team were always available to answer my questions and provide guidance, ensuring that I felt well-informed and supported throughout the legal process. Their responsiveness and willingness to go the extra mile made me feel valued and reassured during what could have been a stressful time.
In conclusion, I cannot express my satisfaction enough with Lapas Law Firm and the exceptional personal service and dedication of Adrian Lapas and his team. They are a shining example of what a law firm should be – knowledgeable, respected, dedicated, and genuinely caring about their clients' well-being. I highly recommend Lapas Law Firm to anyone seeking legal representation, as they have undoubtedly earned my trust and gratitude for their outstanding work.

After simultaneously experiencing a protracted period of unemployment and a difficult divorce and losing everything I found myself buried in debt that would take the rest of my life to repay. I was being sued by creditors and unable to get credit anywhere when I reached out to Adrian. He quickly assessed my situation and advised me that a Chapter 7 bankruptcy was the best option for me and immediately assisted me in responding to a lawsuit notification I had received before I had actually hired him. He walked me through the process and kept me updated and always took my calls and responded promptly to my emails throughout the whole process. With his assistance I successfully received a discharge for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in just under 90 days. It changed my life. Since then in just under 2 years I have restored my credit, purchased and financed a brand new vehicle, and just recently moved into a brand new home I was able to finance through my credit union. Adrian has even helped me deal with a couple of creditors that popped up after the discharge and quickly resolved those situations. This was the best decision I ever made and I have my life back because of Adrian. Thank you.

I was overwhelmed and unable to focus on my day to day responsibilities due to having put myself into really bad debt. The team at Arnold & Smith didn’t judge me or make me feel like I was just another person who had irresponsibly put themselves in a bad situation. I wasn’t just another debt settlement case. I was made to feel like a person they wanted to genuinely help get their life back on track. Shannon, Madison and everyone else at Arnold & Smith were there every step of the way, every question I had, every concern, any stumbles, every creditor call, every debt collector correspondence. I was reassured they would do whatever they could to help me with my debt settlement. If I was ever skeptical this program would work or if they could really help me, that skepticism is gone. You guys are real life heroes. You helped me get my peace of mind and my life back on track. I can’t thank you all enough for what you have done for me and everything you continue to do.

I was recommended the Ashley Law Firm by my real estate agent and I’m glad we took his suggestion. Our real estate closing came with significantly more hurdles than most typical closings. Mary Ashley went above and beyond to ensure our closing went smoothly and as planned. She took the time to thoroughly answer all of our questions related to additional items specific to our closing. She was friendly, diligent, and professional. If you are considering the Ashley Law Firm to handle your RE closing, look no further.

Mr Bill is an EXCELLENT attorney. He has great customer service - responds to texts, phone calls and emails promptly. Bill makes you feel like he hears your situation and will do all that he can to help you.
i called bill on 7/5 - though i had a court date on 7/7. I was nervous that it was so short notice he wouldn't be able to help me. not only was Bill able to help me, he had one of the issues dismissed and another down to the lowest form. I not only saved myself having to pay a fine as well as court costs as well as this bleeding into other areas of my life - which could affect my job - now i just paid bills fee and the court cost and i can forget this happened to me. i couldn't pull out my wallet fast enough!!!
long story short - bill is awesome and trustworthy. don't call the people who send you letters in the mail for tickets. Call Bill Causey.
if your reading this - thanks Mr Bill, you are the best!

Mr. Causey was an ideal attorney. I hired him to help a family member who lives in North Carolina, and I honestly wasn't expecting a whole lot because I am out of state. I felt like since I was not local I could easily be ignored. Not so! Mr. Causey was informative and patient, and kept me abreast every step of the way. Did absolutely everything he said he'd do, flawlessly. I would recommend.

This lawyer was incredibly helpful to me when I had an issue with a former Landlord. He provided context, perspective, and helped me to see what my issue really was. I tend to be very wordy, but he helped to make things more concise for me. For that I am extremely grateful. He provides great advice! God bless!

A series of unfortunate events, and a couple really stupid decisions, lead me to the point where filing for bankruptcy became my only fiscally prudent option. Confused and embarrassed, I reached out to Patrick for assistance in filing Ch.13. From the very beginning, Patrick was nothing but professional, encouraging and patient. After making doubly sure with me that bankruptcy was how I wanted to proceed, he quelled all my fears and trepidations by explaining the entire situation and process with me. It’s never a good thing to have to accept you colossally screwed up. However, it’s a lot easier to swallow your pride and accept reality when the person helping you is as close to a “friend” as you can get in this type of situation. For the entire 3 years I was Patrick’s client, he was always available, always friendly and always understanding.
Should you find yourself needing to file for Ch.13, do yourself a favor and make the whole thing infinitely easier and better by having Patrick Wood be your lawyer.

Dennis Sargent was amazing from the get go. He was patient with me, making sure I had all the details of my seperation agreement finalized before proceeding to file for bankruptcy. He was very prompt with responses and utilized a lot of online tools to help facilitate an easy process. Having to go through a divorce and file for bankruptcy was very hard, stressful and emotional but Mr. Sargent was very clear in explaining each step of the process and how to obtain all the documents and information he needed to best help me. He made me feel so at ease and confident that I was making the right decision in filing for bankruptcy. Top class gentleman and attorney . Highly recommend.

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.
