What recent reviews say

Five-star reviewers praise Matthew Alden and Patrick Miller as knowledgeable bankruptcy attorneys who deliver results at fair prices. However, a significant minority report unresponsiveness, confusing fee structures, and cases where the firm either failed to help or misled clients about what services could accomplish, particularly around student loan and foreclosure defense work.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Praised for
  • knowledgeable attorneys (Alden, Miller)
  • affordable pricing
  • professional demeanor
  • dedicated case work
Watch-outs
  • lack of follow-up and responsiveness
  • unclear pricing and contract terms
  • misrepresentation of service scope (consumer debt, student loans)
  • failure to deliver promised outcomes
knowledgeableaffordable-feesresponsive-communicationpoor-communicationunresponsivemissed-deadlines
Best for: clients seeking straightforward Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy with attorney Alden or Miller
Think twice if: you need student loan relief, consumer debt claims, or foreclosure defense; reviews suggest those services are misrepresented or ineffective. Confirm fee structure and follow-up commitments before retaining.

Strengths

  • experienced bankruptcy attorneys (Alden, Miller named)
  • competitive pricing on filings
  • multi-county service area

Worth knowing

  • Matthew Alden and Patrick Miller are named as lead attorneys
  • Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings claimed as core services
  • One reviewer paid $50 deposit on $1,800 quoted fee but was later told the price changed to $900 additional; another paid $16k down payment over 3 years without successful foreclosure outcome

Common questions

What are the filing fees for bankruptcy?
Reviews mention fees around $1,800 for bankruptcy, though one client later reported being asked to pay an additional $900 over 12 months after an initial quote.
Can you help with student loan debt?
The firm offers student loan relief consultations for $100, but reviewers report the firm cannot help unless you are disabled or can show medical bills over $10,000 to file Chapter 7; one reviewer felt this limitation was not disclosed before the fee was charged.
