Like a lot of people over the last few years, the loss of a job and unexpected hospital bills took their toll on us financially. We had the pleasure of working with Jesse and his superb team, probably longer than most. This was a very difficult decision that weighed on me for a very long time before we finally decided to proceed with bankruptcy. The whole process was relatively quick and very painless, not the emotional roller coaster I had imagined. From the first consult to the very brief time we had in court, all of our questions were answered and handled very professionally. I would highly recommend Mr. Valdez and his office if you have to navigate through this complicated process, or even other business needs!

Jesse went far beyond what I expected from a lawyer. He did his research, kept us informed and our morale up during the lengthy process. He was reasonable with his payment schedule and made accommodations when we had problems. He is a good man and a great lawyer.
