Mr. Whitaker generously shared his legal expertise and provided me with valuable advice when I stumbled upon AVVO while searching for legal guidance online. He patiently answered multiple questions, often responding within minutes. I am grateful for his help and guidance. Thank you, Mr. Whitaker!

In March 2011, we reached out to Mr. Whitaker to discuss the possibility of filing for bankruptcy due to an upside-down mortgage and a large amount of debt. Upon reviewing our case, Mr. Whitaker determined that we were eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, although it was a close call. He provided us with clear instructions on how to proceed with the process. During the "Meeting of the Creditors," a knowledgeable and experienced Junior Partner acted as Mr. Whitaker's representative. As of May 30, 2011, our discharge is expected to arrive in the mail in the next few weeks. Although I cannot explain the specifics of Mr. Whitaker's work on our case, I can confirm that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court agreed with his assertion of our eligibility for discharge. In my opinion, Mr. Whitaker achieved an outstanding result for us.

The service provided by Brian and his staff was excellent and the price was reasonable. They were able to answer all my questions, and I would recommend them to my friends and family.

During a difficult divorce, my ex took control of my business and stopped paying off community property debt that we had co-signed for. It was a tough decision, but I had to file for bankruptcy. I met with many law firms, but most of the time, I only met with salespeople or paralegals who gave me bad advice and pressured me to sign up quickly. Fortunately, I found Brian on Avvo and arranged a meeting. To my surprise, Brian himself met with me and spent almost an hour answering all of my questions patiently. He had a deep understanding of bankruptcy law and was able to get my Chapter 7 filed and discharged even though my case was complex and my ex tried to block my discharge. I highly recommend Brian and Yuri, as they are the only attorneys I trust for any bankruptcy, whether it's simple or complex. Don't waste your time with salespeople or paralegals at bankruptcy mills; Brian and Yuri will take care of you. The entire law group was a pleasure to work with, and I couldn't be happier with their service.

I am grateful that I took the step to call Mr. Whitaker. My debt situation had caused me countless sleepless nights and I felt overwhelmed by my lack of knowledge about bankruptcy. I was also ashamed and guilty about my financial troubles. However, after my initial consultation with Mr. Whitaker, I felt a sense of relief. Looking back, I only wish I had made the call sooner. Despite the complexity of my case, Mr. Whitaker handled it exceptionally well and I am now debt-free.
