We interviewed many attorneys looking for someone to handle our bankruptcy. We are self-employed and in interviewing the other attorneys we received quotes from $10,000 to $50,000 because of the complexity. Larry was absolutely amazing for a few thousand, he was fast, efficient, and he answered all our questions and phone calls. Now 4 years after our bankruptcy, we found liens on our title and Larry is once again handling our case, and removing these old judgment liens. I can't recommend him strongly enough.

My wife and I hired Larry Feinstein to represent us in a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable and very patient. Going through a bankruptcy is a trying 5 year ordeal and Larry was always there for us when we needed him. I would recommend Larry and his firm to anyone seeking legal advise and representation

Mr. Feinstein is an expert in his field. He handled a personal chapter 11 and a business chapter 7 for me. Both were processed efficiently and with favorable results. I highly recommend his services.

Mr. Feinstein follows through years after your bankruptcy. I had an agency go after me years after the bankruptch was filed. Larry Feinstein solved that issue with 10 minutes of my phone call. How can you beat that? thanks, Curt Owen

I have used Larry's services for over six years. He's top notch. He is prompt with client attention at Intake and filing. His strength for me was intimate connection with Federal and local Bankruptcy staff. He literally opened doors. My proceedings were complicated with four different parties. Larry worked out a settlement that all parties could agree with. Larry worked with a Bank and the bankruptcy court so solve a problem. It took him just 30 minutes to get the settlement back on track. His strength is community connections in business and banking. I give him my highest rating. He is compassionate and has a genuine understanding of needs.

Larry helped my husband and me through a difficult chapter in our life, our bankruptcy. Larry is a kind hearted man who cares about his clients well being. Larry is well informed, and arguably the best Bankruptcy attorney in the State of Washington. If you are thinking about bankruptcy, do your self a favor and talk to Larry. We did, and we thank God we found him.

When I was looking for a bankruptcy attorney 3 years ago, I called around to many law firms to get a referral to a solid BK lawyer. The funny thing is that 3 different firms all recommended the same guy- (Larry Feinstein). He is the best; he knows his stuff. Larry is a very kind, supportive lawyer. He was there for me night and day. Unlike most attorneys, Larry showed compassion and regard for the stress I was dealing with. he always took the time to answer my questions.In regards to his competence, he is extremley Knowledgeable, he is the premier lawyer in Seattle for Bankruptcy issues. Former client.
