Mr. Botes gave me excellent advice regarding my case! He is very knowledgeable and compassionate! Mr. Botes took his time and explained the law to me regarding my case. He went above and beyond to me. I will forever be grateful to him! Thank you, Mr. Botes, for keeping me calm during such a stressful time in my life! I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an Attorney!

Brad represented me in a very complex bankruptcy lasting for several years. During the period I was never in the dark, always informed in detail and professionally. The matter ended as I was informed. During the time he represented me Brad and I shared many conversations regarding life and family. Alas, not only is Brad an excellent attorney but a wonderful, caring father and husband.

I love this company. They have helped me every time I've gotten myself in a bad financial situation. They are all very nice and do what they can to help. I wouldn't choose any other lawyer.

I had some financial issues that I tried to handle on my own. Unfortunately, they slowly began to snowball into something I couldn't take care of. After talking to my attorneys, it was such a relief to know there was help for me. Some debt collectors can cross the lines with harassment and threats. I'm truly grateful for the compassion at this company and relieved I have peace.

OMG. I have known Mr. Botes professionally since the mid-2000, and he never ceases to impress me both professionally and personally. He's at the top of him game, and I believe you'd be hard-pressed to find a more knowledge, caring, authentic and results-oriented counselor.

From from moment I contact his office, I was treated with respect. I had no idea what to expect and was overwhelmed with the compassion and caring. I appreciated the straight forward honesty that he displayed. I appreciated the orderly manner in which everything is done. His experience is evident from the beginning until the end. He knows what he is doing and he does it well. You are literally walked thru a process that could be awkard and embarassing in a manner that leaves you with the feeling that you still have a bright future ahead of you. He is nothing from honest from beginning to end. His associates are also easy to work with. They answer "stupid quetions" without making you feel they are. I can only say good things about this experience. He stands with you throughout the process and tells you what to expect ahead of time. He is the so very thorough and gave me nothing but good advice.

I highly recommend Bradford Botes if you are in need of an excellent consumer debt attorney. I was being sued by a junk debt buyer. He laid out my options for me and helped me make an informed decision. He kept me informed at each step of the case, which was eventually dropped by the plaintiff without ever going to trial. If you are in this situation, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Botes.

Mr Botes is very knowledgeable and will keep you informed every step of the way. He and his office made the process as easy as possible. He was always prompt at returning phone calls, e-mails and voice mails even when he was out of town.

Brad Botes has given me hope that I can recover from the financial hole that I had dug myself into. He explained each step of the process and followed up with me to make sure I was staying on track. He shows a genuine concern for his clients financial well being.

Mr. Botes was very helpful to us in our case. He kept us very informed of what our options were and what the outcomes might be for choosing any of those options. In the end he helped my wife and I come to the right decision, a decision that we have been very pleased with for the last 3 years. His help has given us a better life and a better life for our children. I would recommend Mr. Botes to anyone in financial trouble and is overwhelmed. Give him a chance and he will find a solution for you.
