Mr. Piteo was amazing to work with. My elderly mother was scheduled for an eviction hearing within a week or less. I called more than a dozen lawyers but they either said it was too late or they were just too busy. Mr. Piteo was able to find a way for my mother to keep her house. I would recommend Mr. Piteo because he is great to work with, he knows his stuff, and his service is worth way more than what he charges. He is a lifesaver. And our family will be forever grateful.

I am so appreciative of the excellent help, competency, and kindness I received from Michael O'Brien and Ted Piteo! I spoke with 7 bankruptcy firms, and because of my particular type of debt and amount of assets I have, none of them had a solution that helped me out - I was very worried about financial hardship without bankruptcy. Finally, I found O’Brien and Associates, and they were the only firm in the entire state of Oregon that had first-hand experience with a new part of the Chapter 11 code (subchapter V) – this is the route we took to succeed in my bankruptcy. I worked with both of the firm’s attorneys, Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Piteo. They are both highly qualified and competent, with complementary strengths that make them an excellent and formidable team. They are just honest, good people – I’d enjoy having them as neighbors! Both Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Piteo have a high degree of integrity, and I trust them both. For example, at one point, I understood Mr. O’Brien to have made a billing commitment, and when I saw something that seemed to not match that commitment, I called him up and we worked it out in a mutually acceptable, reasonable way that left me trusting him more. My case was moderately complex (at least for a small business owner such as myself), and both Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Piteo did an excellent job of assessing potential weaknesses in my case and explaining potential outcomes, so I always felt secure knowing what potential pitfalls might come and how to deal with them. Mr. O’Brien did high-quality and skillfully-nuanced settlement negotiations with one of my creditors (my ex-wife). Mr. Piteo represented me during the pendency of my case in bankruptcy court. He did an excellent job of negotiating with one of my creditors to ease the way to getting my plan confirmed. He also was timely with answering my questions, and allaying my concerns by providing me with honest, accurate information. An added bonus is that Mr. Piteo is lively and fun, which made the entire process easier to handle, and I even enjoyed it! Mr. Piteo did such an excellent job of litigating my case in bankruptcy court, to the point that the judge gave her ruling at the end of the hearing, and we won everything we proposed in the Chapter 11 reorganization plan. He also did an excellent job preparing me to testify, both with specific questions he’d ask me, and how to handle combative questions from my ex-wife’s lawyer. I am so relieved I found O’Brien and Associates, that I could trust them, and I am very grateful for their great care, competence, and help in my 100% successful bankruptcy case. They delivered as they said they would, without surprises, and I highly recommend them.

I cannot recommend this firm highly enough. When I came in for my consultation, I was at the lowest point of my life. I feeling very scared about my future ahead and had a lot of shame about considering filing for bankruptcy. From the beginning, I was impressed at the level of care and empathy that was shown to me by everyone at the firm that interacted with. I am forever grateful for this firm. Lauren was always available to answer my questions. Ted especially was an amazing advocate for me and always made sure that I had access to all my of options and was able to make informed decisions. I never thought I would ever have so much trust in an attorney and always felt like he had my best interest at heart. Six months after my initial consultation, I feel confident that I made the right choice for myself and am able to move ahead in this new chapter of my life. I have this firm to thank for that, and have already recommended them to several people I know who are considering filing.

My case involved complex issues of IRS debt, foreclosure, business, and of course; debt. Ted was patient, empathetic to my circumstance, and explained everything to me. He didn’t rush me through the process but took his time to educate me on all aspects of the process. Nearly a year has gone by, and my case is still pending due to assets. He is still in the forefront and knowledgeable in my case, without needing to go back and “refresh” his memory. If I could, I would give him a 10 star rating! I’m sure there are other great attorneys out there in his field, but to me, he will always be the best! Thank you, Ted, for giving me back my piece of mind, and being an advocate for me!

Everything about this experience was made better having Ted on my side. He had very precise answers to all my questions and laid out the options I had without making me feel rushed. His rates were very reasonable in the end. At no point in time did I feel like I was being overcharged. I would highly recommend Mr. Piteo

Due to a disability and a subsequent closed business, we had a lot of debt but didn't know how to go forward. Ted talked with us in detail and learned our situation and priorities. He was knowledgeable and pointed us down the path that would be the best for our situation. We were amazed and thankful of his knowledge and caring. The end result was just what we needed. In addition to his expertise, he is honestly one of the nicest attorneys I've ever used. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Theodore Piteo is a very sharp, knowledgeable, smart, and very professional lawyer. You don't need to explain to him him much about your case, as he will understand your situation very fast. I believe that this is a result of his broad background and experience. He got me successful resolution against bad mortgage creditors, and we won the case. I would recommend him for any case of his specialty.

Mr. Piteo generously helped me figure out the best way to move forward with my issue. I was fortunate that in this case I did not require any further services but if I did or if I ever need to I would hire him without hesitation. Top notch person, service, and experience.

They do not allow you to reschedule your consultation more than once no matter what the circumstance. When i got a lecture from their receptionist, I went elsewhere.

Mr. Piteo and his staff were professional and courteous during my bankrupty process. They answered any and all questions I had and took the time to explain the process of bankruptcy and what to expect. He and his staff always made time to answer questions no matter how silly it seemed to me. Mr. Piteo was available via phone, email, and office visits.

Ted Piteo our attorney, really performed in our situation. Medical bills left us on the road to foreclosure and with no co-operation from our bank to renegotiate a new mortgage, we took our needs to Ted. He listened to our particulars, made suggestions based on our unique factors and put a plan in action that got us back on our feet. In just a little over a year, we have bought a new home in a quite mobile park community and getting our life back together thanks to Ted.

My husband and I received expert advice and guidance from Ted and the team. They provided everything we needed to successfully go through the bankruptcy steps. After the discharge of our bankruptcy, life is much more manageable now and we are so glad we took his advice. Ted is very personable and non-judgmental; his knowledge in his field of expertise is outstanding. We cannot thank him and his team adequately for what they have done to help us.
