Overall everything was good with my attorney Mary Pool. I would that attorney again and would recommend thier company to other. Hope i never have to go chapter again. Overall comments Great.
Mary Pool was excellent! She provided me with knowledgeable information on both Chapter 7 & 13 Bankruptcies in a professional manner and really helped me navigate the process. She accomplished more in 2 sessions than a former attorney did in approximately 8 months. The initial consult was informative, I was given a packet of information to complete/gather and the next time we met I just brought the completed packet along with support documents and she filed it. She was by my side when I met with the bankruptcy trustee and has been great to work with. She explains things very well and is thorough. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing bankruptcy assistance.
After my first consultation-visit with Ms. Pool, I came away with two (2) profound opnions about her, Trust and Integrity. My experience with Ms. Pool during this case has been very positive. Also, she exudes much confidence in her work and knowledge of the Law and this gives me all the security I need. Ms. Pool returns phone calls the very same day... she responds to e-mail the very same day. Ms. Pool has never delegated any correspondence to a Legal Aide or Secretary during my case... she takes a "hands on" responsibility to her client. I got a bundled package with Ms. Pool: got a very good Lawyer and a really nice person.
