By what we believe was Devine Intervention we found a highly reputable bankruptcy firm on a Saturday morning and agreed to a contract the following Monday for chapter 7 bankruptcy. Our attorney referred us to Gale Angelo Johnson P.C. who would handle the creditors and the paperwork. What a blessing these people were!! Everyone we spoke to were knowledgeable, competent and very professional. My wife was completely a nervous wreck fearful that we would wind up homeless. Then we were contacted by a Trisha Ures who was the ultimate, caring compassionate professional that in a matter of days had made my wife secure. Trisha continued to have an interest in our case until the bankruptcy firm filed the case in October and we received the discharge letter Christmas eve. I would recommend Gale Angelo Johnson P.C. for their entire professional, competent and caring firm.

But here I am standing in my doorstep at 8 pm in front of a stranger who handles me a summons. I was sued! Goodbye, reasonable offers.. Hello, bankruptcy? Wage garnishment? I send a request for a debt settlement lawyer referral via Nolo, and Joe Garcia from DMI contacts me the next day. We have a quick phone call. Turns out, if I respond to the summons within 30 days, it will buy me several months of time before I have to start paying. Fast forward 6 months: the offer Joe negotiated with the firm representing the credit card company is 20% lower than I expected! Joe's fees were reasonable, and he was always available when I had a question or a concern. The case is dismissed! I cannot recommend Joe and his firm highly enough and wish them many more years in business!

He was rude, entitled, dismissive and made it clear that unless the case is over million-dollar claims or high-debt cases it "wasn't worth his time." He consistently talked over me and refused to listen to the specific statutory violations I was trying to explain. For an attorney in practice since the 90's and who claims to handle high-value litigation, the firm has no website, no BBB accreditation, and zero professional polish. If you want an attorney who listens, treats clients with respect, actually values the law and makes you feel confident your case is taken seriously regardless of the value, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Christian is a kind and knowledgeable man that made me feel like I had known him forever. He was there for me every step of the way and his staff was exceptional as well. I can not say enough good things about Christian. Bottom line: If you find yourself looking for a Bankruptcy attorney, Christian Younger and Friend Younger firm should be your first choice!
