Robert Burford is amazing! I had a business issue and my lawyer from most respected law firms in Houston was handling it. This dragged for months and months: tons of aggravation, even sleepless nights, and over $100K in legal bills. A friend recommended to contact Mr. Burford. First he requested to send him all paperwork. After a week, Robert met with me and my partner on the morning before Christmas. His whole office was empty. He asked us what we wanted as the result of his involvement. He found our claim to be very reasonable. After he wrote a letter to the opposing attorneys and had a discussion with them, my partner and I got everything that we wanted. I'm always very thankful to Robert Burford.

12 years ago I was caught up in a Real Estate scam on my new home with a finance company. Wound up so deep in debt from being lied to. I scheduled a conference with Bill. He pointed out that Chapter 7 was our only survival. He proceeded to file the bankruptcy successfully. Fantastic job.

I have employed over a hundred attorneys for various legal and commercial purposes over the years. William Kunofsky is extraordinarily informative and knowledgeable, both in Income Tax law and in Bankruptcy.
In particular he has those traits that surpass other great attorneys and he becomes the most rare kind of counselor. Specifically, he understands the procedural constraints and opportunities, the business realities, the bureaucratic and behavioral complexities, the logistic impediments, the personal emotional drivers and above all, the complex interplay of all the factors that comprise a legal initiative.
He provides all those in charting the optimum course through all the possibilities and pitfalls.
Awesome.

The Law Office of William F. Kunofsky has been representing my company and me for the past year in several tax matters including audits and settlement agreements with the IRS, State Comptroller, and Texas Work Force Commission. It has been a great relief to have William’s representation. He has been extremely successful with his negotiations on our behalf, and has saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars to date.

(Hopefully won’t ever need bankruptcy help again!)
I made the mistake of allowing two old debts get all the way to the “default judgement” stage. Both had been acquired by debt buyers, who then used their law firms to file suits. Because I disputed the original debt amounts and had a lot of anxiety about them, I buried my head in the sand hoping they’d go away. Bad move. Eventually the other shoe dropped, and I had to deal with both. I was losing sleep I was so upset. I can’t tell you how comforting it was to call and talk with Evan Harlow. His calm, confident and friendly demeanor helped me relax and see the situation as something that just needed to be resolved. He patiently talked with me and gave me unbiased options for how to put it behind me. And not all the options included paying him for his services! That is the sign of a good person. Instead of treating me like a number, I felt like he empathized with me and truly helped me. I will be using him in the future for things like trust and estate planning now. I highly recommend Evan to anyone.

I highly recommend Evan Harlow. Handling a family matter across the boundaries of legal system changes required a great deal of persistence and perseverance. His advice was sound, he is very knowledgeable and personable.

I hired Mr Harlow to help me with a debt collection issue in February 2020, uploaded documents for him to review, and never heard back from him unless I persisted to follow up myself to find out what our status was. After several months of silence, I received an excuse about other cases, and gave up expecting to hear anything again - and I still haven't. I have expressed my disappointment about this directly, and that has been followed by more months of silence. I would not recommend this law office.

1/14/25 was the day the Charles Johnson Law Firm cleared my son case. It was a long stressful 10months. My son was falsely accused of assaulting a police officer. We know the issue with a black man being accused by a white officer. I can go on about but I will not. God lead me to this law firm and I am grateful that I stuck with them. They spoke on behalf and had my son best interests in heart. Thank you Charles Law Firm Family for well job done
My family is truly grateful.

Title: “Unethical, Unprofessional, and Part of a Systemic Problem – Avoid at All Costs”
Review:
I trusted Charles Johnson to represent me in a critical legal matter involving my rights as a parent and the safety of my child. Instead, I encountered unethical conduct and a lack of professionalism that I believe reflects broader systemic issues within the legal community.
1. Failure to Follow Instructions:
Mr. Johnson refused to file motions that were critical to my case, despite explicit requests and legal urgency. Instead, he pursued strategies I advised against, which I believe were contrary to my best interests and to those of my child.
2. Broken Promise for Refund:
After withdrawing from my case, Mr. Johnson explicitly promised in writing to refund my retainer. However, he later reversed that promise without justification.
3. Neglect of the Best Interests of My Child:
Mr. Johnson’s inaction and disregard for my instructions directly contributed to delays and worsened the legal situation for my child. His failure to address critical legal violations has exacerbated the harm my child has endured.
4. Part of a Larger Problem:
I believe Mr. Johnson’s actions align with systemic issues of unethical behavior within the local legal system. His failure to prioritize the law and his client’s needs reflects a disregard for justice and ethical standards. It is my opinion that his conduct perpetuates the very systemic rot that undermines trust in the courts and legal professionals.
5. Unprofessional Communication:
Mr. Johnson and his staff failed to communicate adequately, delayed responses to critical matters, and ignored requests for accountability. These failures reflect a lack of professionalism and integrity that no client should have to endure.
Conclusion:
I believe Mr. Johnson’s actions have caused irreparable harm to my child and my legal case. His refusal to uphold his professional and ethical obligations is unacceptable.
Recommendation:
I strongly advise against hiring Charles Johnson. In my experience, his actions contribute to systemic issues in the legal community and have caused significant harm to me and my family.

I contacted Barry with a complicated employment matter needing immediate attention. He responded with urgency and compassion which was greatly appreciated. I quickly came to trust Barry as he was extremely knowledgable and professional during the initial consultation and communicated clearly our strategy moving forward. He gave me his full attention at all times answering in clear detail every question asked. I cannot thank you enough Barry for working tirelessly on my case and the positive outcome you achieved on my behalf. If you are looking for an attorney with expertise and compassion, I highly recommend Barry for any employment needs.

This firm sure knows their laws/rules, and I highly recommend them for help (in my case on employment law). While they are in TX they do know laws outside the state, which was perfect for me as I don't reside in the same state that my corporation does.
Katie was patient and explained complex documents in layman's terms so I could understand what I was reading in my corporate documents. She also had insightful recommendations for things I should or should not do, which I am very thankful for.
I really couldn't have asked for a better experience. This is a top notch, professional Law Firm and I will return (hopefully not too soon) with my future law needs.

Terrible experience with Sarah particularly. My coparent withheld my ability to see my infant on multiple occasions, Sarah charged me for documentation that didn’t improve or remedy the situation; the coparent was not held accountable whatsoever. The response I received from filing the expensive paperwork Sarah’s firm advised was my coparent filing a false police report saying their vehicle was broken into implicating me for which I had proofs were 100% false (the vehicle was NOT broken into or tampered with and I was nowhere remotely close to area it was located at the time in question). I was required to meet at police stations following that accusation - know what the coparent showed up in?? The undamaged vehicle in question on the DAY FOLLOWING the accusation. (For the record, it’s supposed to be a crime in Texas to file a false police report). Again, none of it mattered when we *never made it to court* — saddled with $25k worth of representation debt (when the standard for family court settlements is ~$11k to my understanding), a hefty child support amount, and ONE day more than a standard possession as a non-custodial parent. I wrote her an angry, frustrated “who do you work for here?” email to which she felt the need to call me personally at 3 am having me tell her I thought she was the perfect person to help me with my situation or she would be resigning my case. Should’ve dropped her then and there. I’m an honorably discharged veteran, a former federal employee, an Eagle Scout, etc. I was up against someone with a an assault record. Continuously told her firm I wanted a 50/50 coparenting agreement and wasn’t trying to skirt child support because I didn’t think it would help my case. Not what was presented at the 2-3 court days we were supposed to have, I took off work for and made special arrangements for but didn’t actually “take.” We never made it to court - ended up in mediation with a RETIRED judge who didn’t read or pay any attention to the facts of the case whatsoever as his blanketed opening statement at mediation was - “I don’t care what the facts are here, I’m not taking any child away from his mother short of something drug related” - a determination based solely based on gender/sex. I did 90% of the talking during mediation; Sarah and her assistant sat there and barely spoke. I’m not an attorney. I didn’t get paid $25k to represent someone. Had no idea what I was doing. Sarah worked with the coparent’s attorney and came up with a 30+ page document that provides more coverage for my co-parent than me and I was billed for it; co-parent walked away from the case on a pro-bono basis. If I mess up, jail time and fines. If the co-parent messes up, there would be hefty court fees for me to enforce anything and then next to 0 repercussions for them. My coparent has been so empowered by how easy it was to walk over me that she has continued to violate the agreement (never missed a day with my son, coparent’s missed a plethora; coparent doesn’t send written updates when our circumstances change, I’ve had to; coparent moved outside the agreed upon living area, repercussions are supposed to be me becoming custodial, NOPE; coparent filed 2 more false police reports since implicating but not naming me to avoid harassment charges, nothing stopping them). If you’re a single father out there for any reason and are looking for help, know upfront no one (courts, attorneys, etc) cares about the dad’s rights or involvement in a child’s life. Since the resolution, I’ve struggled to make ends meet between the debts and my obligations. Think when I’m struggling to this degree that I can afford or would even bother going back to court to have my coparent “held accountable” for the violations?? Steer clear of Sarah’s firm; felt massively overcharged for the minimal support or intervention I received from them.

In retrospect I had a very bad experience with Mr. Lake and I deeply regret hiring him. He was either not honest or not a good attorney, either case, best to avoid him.

Chris Lake is not a good attorney in my opinion. He has mentioned his own mother's divorce multiple times and it shows... he clearly supports the mother in divorce cases even if he is representing the father. This happened to me and many other fathers who were represented by Mr. Lake. He is also incapable of taking any criticism or negative feedback in a constructive way and will just try to blame it on you or someone else. Instead of doing what you want he does what he thinks is best. He also stated negstive things against me in court as a way to make me seem humble and that ended up backfiring. Chris of course blamed it on the judge. He needs to realize many many families have now been adversely affected by his interference. You will be remembered Mr. Lake as a unprofessional and incompetent attorney and an unethical person.

Wilson Lake Savage Law firm, led by Mr. Tracey Gajak, Ms. Anita Savage, and Ms. Hailey Merz, provided exceptional legal representation in my recent divorce case. Their professionalism, empathy, and expertise immediately put me at ease. They prioritized my well-being, combining legal acumen with genuine compassion to tailor a personalized legal strategy. Their responsiveness and accessibility ensured I felt supported and informed throughout the process. Their mastery of divorce law, attention to detail, and creative solutions not only resulted in the most favorable outcome that far exceeded my expectations, but also instrumental in quick closure of my case. I am honored to recommend them to anyone in need of divorce representation.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I waited almost an entire month to speak to Mr. Tommy Hastings regarding my deceased grandmother's case his assistant (I'm assuming his paralegal) was persistent that he would take. I kept getting rescheduled and still no call. Upon reaching back out today-I was told Mr. Hastings would not be taking on the case and that I was sent an "email" explaining why. I never received an email. I was also told Mr. Hastings called and left a voicemail which I have proof I also never received. The only call I received on 10/31/24 when the conference call was supposed to be rescheduled for at 11am-was a call missed at 1:51pm from a (409) number from Port Arthur with a caller ID that said "Griffin, J" and no voicemail was left. (So unless this was Mr. Hastings-he never called)
This was highly unprofessional and precious time wasted that I could've spent working with a lawyer who actually cared. Also, this would've been an absolute EASY case for ANY lawyer to win-as I had already explained I did all of the leg work and was just waiting on the medical records. I would do your diligence when researching a lawyer and stay far away from this practice.
Edit: I was told I was legally not allowed to take on this case due to not being a direct "heir" of my grandmother, however I had explained my mother (my grandmother's daughter) was willing to sign any documents necessary to start this process/case. So again, there was no excuse as to why my/our time was wasted.

His assistant Brianna Lopez is AWESOME she always went above and beyond for me with anything I needed. Her compassion is unmeasurable and I am so greatful for her.

I just signed the contract to use CCK's services last week and for 3 days, I could not get a lawyer or even a paralegal to speak to me. Only the receptionist who says the same thing every day, "they're busy, they will call you back today or tomorrow." It wasn't until I told the receptionist I no longer want their representation did someone get on the phone with me. Of course, it was too late. I cannot be represented by a law firm who I can't even get on the phone with for 3 consecutive days of trying. It's very unfortunate because they have multiple good reviews from previous clients, but I guess I wasn't important enough.

I made the mistake of hiring this firm to represent me in attempting to get my va disability. The entire time they were representing me I never once spoke to an actual lawyer and they would only have paralegals call me that knew even less than I did about any of the regulations. My disability ended up going through off of stuff that I filed before I even hired this firm but since I hired them they still got 30k of my money. Then they allowed the va to illegally lower two of my static disabilities in an attempt to lower me below 100%. The best I got from this firm was, "well at least they weren't able to lower you below 100%". Then they had a brand new paralegal call me to lie to me about temporary total disability. I had to be off work for just over 3 months due to reconstructive neck surgery and it was all through the va. The va refused to pay me temporary total disability and this firm actually sided with the va and had a paralegal lie to me about the regulations, I actually had them pulled up on my computer while I was on the phone with her and read them off to her because she admitted she didn't actually know them. Even after I pointed that out they still refused to do anything about it. If you have any documented proof at all about anything you're claiming and you can argue your point better than an elementary school kid then save your money and represent yourself because this firm absolutely does not care about you unless you're an easy mark for them and they will lie directly to you if they feel like they're not going to get much money out of you for whatever you're talking about. Inaccurate facts? I don't think you guys would actually know what a fact actually was even if it was read off to you. In fact, I know you wouldn't because I literally read off the regulations for temporary total disability when you guys had a paralegal call me to lie to me about it. The very least you could do is own up to your short comings and admit when you're 100% in the wrong. I can even spell it out for you too so that way you can't deny it. I was denied temporary total disability after having reconstructive neck surgery through the VA. The regulation governing approval for temporary total disability clearly states that it would have to either be something you were currently rated for or the surgery would have to have been performed through the VA. The surgery was performed through the VA but they still denied me for it and your office sided with the VA and still refused to do anything about it even after I read off the regulations to the ignorant paralegal you had call me to lie to me about it. Then there's still the matter that your office allowed the VA to illegally lower two of my static disabilities with a completely unrelated exam report and even in the exam report it said I had shown no improvement. You could've just acknowledged that your firm screwed up but now everybody gets to see that you're attempting to lie about that too, not a good look when you claim you do all you can to help veterans.

Just was accepted by CCK. I see mainly good reviews and I’m hoping they’re true so just for good luck I’m here supporting my attorneys.
So far my experience has been what it needed to be. The intake interview was lengthy and thorough. I made sure to mention everything that I could think of that will prove my case. Idk care if they take a year because i the damage my service has done to me has completely destroyed my life and I know I wouldn’t be able to get what I deserve without a solid team.
They literally run a deal where if they win, they get a check and we get a check a month forever and if they don’t win they don’t charge you.
Geez I’d give them 40% if I knew they could definitely prove my 100%

My lawyer succeeded in taking money. He failed at everything else. He’s breathtakingly incompetent in all things family law. He never actually tried, no showed when I drove to Houston to give him evidence for a case, no showed the day before trial to prep for trial, then he got notice of the other side pulling unscrupulous moves to take my child and he withdrew without a peep. I didn’t find out he quit until the restraining order (THAT HE COULD’VE VETOED) was pushed through. It wasn’t even under the radar. He got the notice of what they were doing Feb. 26 and he withdrew Feb. 28 without so much as the decency of informing me by phone that he withdrew. His hands were shaking during trial. The cowardice/unpreparedness exhibited in the court room is more than enough to take pause and consider other options. My hands were shaking and sweating and I look over, his hands were shaking and sweating as badly as mine. My lawyer was visibly shaking with hands sweating. He told me that I wouldn’t get a fair trial in this court in this city and he wasn’t going back to court. Then, he didn’t lift a single finger when the time came for him to truly represent my children and I.

First, of all He’s full Crap!
If, there were no other lawyers on the planet, I would still not seek is lousy advice. Anybody, can join various groups, and attempt to inflate their
resume. Lawyers do it every day.
Tim Webb is no different. Look elsewhere for legitimate legal advice. Not this fake! He rides on the coattails of other established people in the legal field in Houston, and elsewhere.
A “TRUE “ FRAUD!!!!
He likes to run as a hobby. People in Houston, that I know would like to see him run off a cliff instead. Bankruptcy, and Personal Injury lawyers, are skilled ambulance chasers, and crooks!
That’s it in a nutshell. Most , people in the legal sphere don’t consider tax lawyer’s, or bankruptcy lawyers, as real attorneys anyway.
Unleash a tax lawyer, or a petty bankruptcy lawyer in a criminal case in court, and watch them turn into dust. Especially, when addressing a jury. Most, have never tried a case ever in a court of law.
Tax lawyers just prove they’ve learned the formula for new tax laws, and bankruptcy laws. Difficult, not really! Most animals could be trained to do that.
Most have never tried a case in a court of law, and that’s because most don’t have the aptitude to do it!
And are encouraged by professors, while still in law school to look at other legal emphases. Because, the professors know when they see a student who probably won’t make it in criminal law, and be successful.
Retain him at your own risk!!!’ Another “Quack” in the legal field. No wonder most people surveyed by U.S. News & World Report, surveyed say most attorneys are full of it!
Tim Webb is the reason why people feel that way!
This fake so-called lawyer is not any different!!!!

Nathan Schwartz took time to get to know me and to understand my particular situation.
He was never judgmental and after every meeting I felt I had been treated and advised as a friend,
not just another client.
Nathan communicated clearly, asked the right questions and worked with me to make sure I completely understood the divorce process.
He was prepared, met all procedural timelines and helpfully steered me towards making the right decisions concerning equitable distribution of finances, spousal and child support, and in due course crafted a fair agreement that was approved by the court.
Nathan is a fine counselor and I unreservedly recommend his services.

Jim Jones is in my opinion is among the best of the best attorneys for family law in Montgomery County. He was very personal and professional. Jim put me at ease when I didn’t really know my options or the consequences of my descisions regarding my case. After every visit between Jim and myself, I felt informed and confident. Jim was integral in helping me gain fair and legal custody of my 5 year old daughter after almost 2 years of not having custody of her. I would absolutely recommend Jim to any parent in Montgomery County that is in need of legal assistance dealing with their own personal family case.

Please look at the 1 star google reviews and his responses to his clients. He first list their personal email address then he continues to publicly list the private facts of their cases in an attempt to intimidate his clients to remove their honest review. The truth of the matter is that this firm should be shut down. You have to explain the facts of your case over and over again to every new paralegal you speak to and you will get different information from each if they even respond. The only way you get a chance to speak with the attorney that you paid to retain is if you mention filing a complaint with the Texas Bar. He has called me demanding for asking questions as him and his firm drops the ball multiple times.

Leinart filed for me at the last minute and saved my home from foreclosure. Since then, I've been able to catch up on all of my house payments and get rid of all of the credit card debt i accumulated while i was out of work. I'm so thankful for Mr Leinart and everyone at Leinart.

First rate firm. From the engagement to the final outcome they have been professional, never left us guessing what was going on with our case. Our assigned attorney C Gackle knows her law. She is tenacious, and does not waste time. D Rowe the assigned partner was spot on in what would be needed to get our case to the finish line no matter the outcome. He was responsive and did not talk down to us. L Thomas was extremely helpful with questions we had. I have and will recommend this firm to others. No matter the outcome we were not left questioning what else could be done.

After getting into my car wreck, I called Jim Ross and his main concern was my well-being. Jim and his group made sure that I had everything that I needed to get better from my injuries and at no cost to me including surgeries. The entire process was made as painless as possible all the way until the end. I am very grateful for what Jim and his team did for me, I know that I couldn't have done it all on my own with our same results.. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jim Ross for a Personal Injury Attorney. He will fight for his clients, like he fought for me!!

The Law Offices of Cheryl S. Davis is the best there is out there for bankruptcy. Ms. Davis and her staff are hands-on every step of the way through the process. Ms. Davis made me feel welcome from the very first moment we spoke and was always responsive to my concerns thru the whole bankruptcy process; explaining the what and why for all the information she needed for the chapter 7 filing. I was never left wondering what to expect nor did I ever hesitate to ask a question. I could tell Ms. Davis has excellent abilities when dealing with the court by the manner in which my case was prepared and presented to the trustee. I could not have been in better hands.

Spends time on TikTok arguing about how much he knows about Star Wars during billable hours. Also unfamiliar with law and how it works, constantly unprepared, dismissive and rude. Even told me “this law thing may not work out”. That’s the lawyer people have hired, one who thinks it won’t work out.
Edit 1-You used your official “Lawyer” account to promote racist views and use billable time that could've been used to help clients, and instead used it to claim you know more about Star Wars than other strangers. So please stop with the “you came from social media to attack me” rhetoric, you defamed your own firm and received the review you deserve. You even could have used a private account to do so, and you didn’t, but you’re welcome for that free advice.

As a bankruptcy/tax attorney, Mr. Williams is extremely knowledgeable when dealing with matters relating to foreclosure and the IRS. All lawyers must do their research but time and experience are key factors in the depth of their knowledge base. Mr. Williams has helped me with both Tax related issues and Bankruptcy issues. I highly recommend Mr. Williams for small business, distressed home owners dealing with foreclosure, or just a honest knowledgeable account to handle your taxes.

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.
