Mr. Hausen knows all about bankruptcy law and works hard to make the experience easier during a difficult time. He responds to inquiries quickly and is very courteous.

I contacted legalzoom.com for a personal bankruptcy. I was assigned to James and he handled everything professionally and thoroughly. It was an easy process.

We used Hausen for our chapter 7 and even though all my accounts were discharged, he neglected to follow through with a garnishment and after discharge my wife’s check was still garnished. Then I find out he did not send paperwork to courts to reaffirm my truck loan, now I’m paying on a truck that will never show on my credit. We paid him to do a job that he did not do correctly. If your looking for a good lawyer that is honest and actually files all the paperwork, look somewhere else. He called me a liar and said he did his job and I shouldn’t worry about my credit, just don’t get into debt again. Well that helps if I want to buy a house or anything else… they are unprofessional and Undependable. Do not recommend to anyone.
