I became disabled and my financial situation became dire and I have tried for two years to file for either a manageable chapter 13 or chapter 7. I have wasted thousands of dollars I do not have on lawyers who didn’t understand my complex case or trustee payments with a trustee who also seemed to disregard my situation. My experience with Debtstoppers was PAINLESS. My meeting with a new trustee took two minutes and my much needed chapter 7 was approved. I’m also on a payment plan for the chapter 7 payments so I didn’t have to pay the cost up front. I am so relieved and incredibly happy. I was hesitant to use a “big” law firm but I couldn’t have asked for a more seamless or better outcome. Highly recommend.

Very informative in giving you the information you need to get all of your questions answered about their process in filing your case, which was a very fast and thorough process. You will be more than satisfied with their work, with very little effort on your part.

I was going through alot of stress being a single mother with three kids. I went in stressed but when I met Sean _ my Attorney!!! _ I was so relieved. He has something natural about him. He answered all of my questions and even gave his number to reach him out for any questions. I'd recommend Sean and DebtStoppers to anyone!!
