What recent reviews say

Rauser & Associates shows sharp polarization: clients with engaged staff experience smooth, reassuring bankruptcies led by named attorneys like Jennifer Donahue and Steve Emery. Others report unresponsive lawyers, missed callbacks, and cases dismissed due to communication failures. Quality appears highly dependent on which team member handles your case.

Recent shift: Recent reviews (past year) show continued split between five-star praising named attorneys and one-star complaints about communication failures, with no clear improvement trend.
