Decades ago, I had to file bankruptcy, when I lived in the central part of the state. When I found…read moremyself in the same situation again, I wasn't sure where to go. After searching online, I found the Pratt & Maegli Law Firm. After my initial call with Jacob, my reluctance was gone. After my first meeting with him, my mind was at ease, and the weight of this decision was completely off of my shoulders. Jacob and his staff were always courteous, friendly, accommodating, and enthusiastic about answering questions, and making things as easy as possible. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Filing Bankruptcy still carries some stigma, but not like it did years ago, and Jacob and his staff did a great job, handling my case from start to finish. They guided me through each step, and made it simple and easy. I wholeheartedly recommend Pratt & Maegli for anyone's Bankruptcy needs. It costs nothing to have an in-depth phone conversation, and then a follow-up consultation, and then make your own informed decision about the options presented. I am so grateful to them, for giving me the fresh start I needed.

I contacted Dan and was told they would only reimburse me for the $ sent in this past year. After going back and forth I got a last email and it was so rude. They are keeping $200 & have never done anything for me except loose all the work I put into the process and keep $200...$ in escrow pd to them over a year ago. What a horrible experience... I suppose if I went through with my "simple" bankruptcy and pay all the $ for it I might have been treated better.

Following a 7 month stay in the hospital, due to Covid, I had mountains of medical bills that I could never pay. As much as I didn't want to file bankruptcy I had no choice.
