I had a bankruptcy consultation and was asked to submit detailed financial documents in advance,…read morewhich I did expecting a focused discussion of my options. The call lasted about 1.5 hours, but much of the time was spent reviewing information I had already provided rather than explaining strategy. The main issue I wanted clarity on--why Chapter 13 was recommended over Chapter 7--was not meaningfully addressed. After the call, I sent five reasonable follow-up questions about that recommendation. Shortly afterward, my appointment was canceled, and I was told the attorney did not feel comfortable moving forward with my case. I respect that attorneys can choose their clients, but I was surprised that asking for clarification before committing to a multi-year repayment plan resulted in the engagement being declined. If you're seeking a consultation with detailed explanation of options, it may help to confirm expectations upfront.

I'm incredibly grateful for the support and guidance I received throughout my Chapter 7 bankruptcy…read moreprocess. Filing for bankruptcy was something I never imagined I would have to do, especially at my age. After becoming sick and being unable to work for almost two years, I struggled to keep up with my credit card debt while also going through a very difficult time emotionally. The entire team was patient, understanding, and incredibly helpful. They walked me through every step, answered all my questions, and reassured me whenever I felt overwhelmed. Even though my situation made the process take longer than expected, they never made me feel rushed or judged. They made everything feel much more manageable than I expected. What I really appreciated was that they didn't just help me file for bankruptcy and leave me to figure things out on my own. They provided the required financial courses and resources to help me better understand how to manage my money moving forward. They were also very thorough with communication and always provided clear lists and instructions of what to expect, what needed to be done, and what the next steps were. Having that guidance made the entire process feel organized and much less overwhelming. I was honestly very nervous in the beginning because I couldn't see a way out of the debt I had accumulated. Their reassurance and guidance helped me realize that I could get through it and that there was still a path forward for me. I highly recommend them to anyone who may be considering bankruptcy. If you're feeling scared or unsure like I was, know that you don't have to go through it alone. I'm so thankful for their compassion, patience, and support throughout this experience, and for helping me start this new chapter with a fresh start.

I never in my life thought I'd file for bankruptcy -- especially because I've always had a good…read morecredit score and always made my payments on time. I felt ashamed at first and honestly didn't know what to expect. From the very first meeting until now, every single person I've spoken with at Blake Goodman, PC has been welcoming, compassionate, and understanding during one of the hardest times in my life. Their entire team brought light into such a dark situation for me. These guys truly know what they're doing. They handle EVERYTHING. What impressed me the most is that they don't just help you file -- they genuinely want you to thrive and become better financially moving forward. They even provide a course that teaches you how to better manage your finances and rebuild. They take over the stressful collector calls, explain every single step of the process, walk you through what each document means, and prepare you for what to expect during judgment. They make something that feels terrifying feel manageable. I've been dealing with physical illness, severe depression, and anxiety to the point where I barely even text people back anymore. I recently went through a painful breakup after being cheated on, and honestly, I haven't truly smiled or laughed in almost a year. Before my appointment today, I was in a very dark place emotionally. Then I met Vai and Nicole. They were so organized, informative, professional, and most importantly -- compassionate. They treated me like a human being instead of just another client. I genuinely had to fight back tears because it's been so long since I felt cared for or even laughed. For the first time in a long time, I left feeling lighter. Vai and Nicole truly made an impact on my life today, and I will forever be grateful for them and this entire team. They made this whole transition feel so smooth that I literally joked, "Y'all gotta charge us more!" lol. Thank you again for everything.

Every time I had an emergency situation with my car I would dive deeper and deeper into credit card debt, unable to save up a cash reserve for such situations and constantly on the brink of not being able to make a single payment. Late last year, I decided to hit the reset button on my finances and start over. I was making enough to get by, but the credit card payments were killing me. Mr. Goodman was one of the first results that came up for this kinda stuff. I left them a giant e-mail explaining my situation and they promptly called me the day afterwards. I met up with Attorney Martin/Marty Berger. While Mr. Goodman is very soft spoken, Berger is a straight no-nonsense down to business kinda guy, which I am more than fine with. Marty helped me figure out my financial situation and determined that a Chapter 7 filing was appropriate. As I had nothing major to lose, he helped me go through the maze of paperwork required to file the claim and clear away my credit card debt. I'm now on my way to financial freedom. Being able to start over from scratch is a huge relief, and I've already made plans on how to maintain to stable and successful financial future. If your concern is that you won't be able to afford an attorney for this - don't be. Their rate is very affordable, and they'll be happy to provide a plan that allows you to split up your payment into monthly payments. They will work with you to set up a payment schedule that works with your current financial situation. The office staff are quick to respond. Marty responded to my questions within the end of the same business day.

Ethan helped us organize our household finances to ensure that we were able to meet our current and future financial needs for our growing family. Ethan made us feel so comfortable from our first meeting with his friendly attitude and non-judgmental outlook on financial habits. The first year was focused on financial education and helping us create our financial road map. We had monthly meetings to track our progress and to learn about our cash flow and other useful financial topics. Within that year we were able to pay off all of our high interest debt, lower our spending, and increase our HYSA contribution. Our goals for the second year are still the same but we are now moving forward with maintaining positive financial habits and increasing our cash flow. We do quarterly online meetings with Ethan which fits perfectly for our busy lifestyle and allows us flexibility to meet with him whenever possible. We cannot thank Ethan and April for all of their help and encouragement these past 2 years. We look forward to continue working with them and learning more as we go.
