    Megan C.

    You know when you know deep down that you are really in over your head, but instead of just sitting down to do your research you tell yourself over and over that it'll all just figure itself out on its own? Maybe I am the only one (doubtful). My financial situation went from hanging on like many people prior to the world flipping upside-down, to just barely making it (code for charging more necessities on the "emergency" plastic) for all of pandemic, to "uh-oh - what am I going to do now?" A major dental expense in August, followed closely by a huge car repair bill set me way out of the possibility of my "pay all of my bills on time" commitment. I had to do something, and it had to happen fast - like NOW, otherwise I would never sleep. I had received a referral from an acquaintance at work. She spoke so highly of Blake Goodman's Office's care for her that I knew I needed to at the very least give them a call. That call changed literally everything for me. I was greeted with not just professionalism, which we all expect from an attorney office, but more so, empathy, compassion, sincere caring (Dora). I was offered a free consultation to go over what I needed, what I had in mind, answer questions, get a feel for how bad 'my bad' really is... Prior to the appointment, an online questionnaire was required. This really helped me look at what we needed to talk about, what I wanted to ask. Oh. The. Shame!!! At my appointment, again, I was greeted with such warmth, calm, empathy - all-the-while I am losing my mind with panic about what I am getting ready to do... you know, the dreaded "B" word. Dora and Atty. James Terry reassured me at every turn. It really was going to be ok. (And when I called a few days later with more questions, Atty. Josh Humphries was able to answer them and calm me right back down immediately.) There are 2 required online classes associated with their services. These classes were easy, and surprisingly interesting, informative, helpful - dare I say, long overdue. The office accepts payment plans - which was a necessity for me. Their fees are more than fair, especially once you see the huge stack of paperwork that is generated on your behalf (and all of the phone calls and texts you send while trying to breathe... oh wait, maybe that is just me!) My journey is almost done...(Started process end of August, will be all done mid-November). I just have one last stop and then I really will be able to sleep again. I sincerely could not imagine having gone through this process without these exceptionally skilled individuals. Truly, if you need help as I did, at the very least, go set your mind at ease and go for the consultation. YOU deserve to breathe too!!!

    I had a bankruptcy consultation and was asked to submit detailed financial documents in advance,…read morewhich I did expecting a focused discussion of my options. The call lasted about 1.5 hours, but much of the time was spent reviewing information I had already provided rather than explaining strategy. The main issue I wanted clarity on--why Chapter 13 was recommended over Chapter 7--was not meaningfully addressed. After the call, I sent five reasonable follow-up questions about that recommendation. Shortly afterward, my appointment was canceled, and I was told the attorney did not feel comfortable moving forward with my case. I respect that attorneys can choose their clients, but I was surprised that asking for clarification before committing to a multi-year repayment plan resulted in the engagement being declined. If you're seeking a consultation with detailed explanation of options, it may help to confirm expectations upfront.

I am a single parent and felt very hopeless. I asked a few trusted friends and relative who experienced severe financial hardship. They urged to research about bankruptcy and seek a solid legal advise. This led me to Atty Ed and he just took my anxiety and worry in one quick phone call. I prepared what he required, set an appointment, and after an hour or so, my bankruptcy application was complete. He called me for any update and he is always available, even after 7pm to answer my questions. I can't express enough how thankful I am to Atty Ed. He is really exceptional & restored my hope that I can rebuild a better life moving forward.

He walked me through every step of the bankruptcy process in plain language, always answering my questions quickly and making sure I understood exactly what to expect. What really stood out was his honesty and attention to detail. He didn't sugarcoat things--he gave me a clear plan, kept me updated, and fought to make sure I got my discharge as quickly and smoothly as possible. Even when I felt stressed or overwhelmed, he was reassuring and confident, which made all the difference. Because of his hard work, I now have my fresh start. I would recommend Ed to anyone who needs an attorney that actually cares, knows the law inside and out, and gets results. Thank you again for giving me my life back!

    Where do I begin..? Just as many others have said previously, there should be an option for me to…read moreleave ZERO stars.. I have been enduring years of emotional trauma and negligence on the part of this "law firm". They have been attempting to force my employer to garnish my paycheck for an amount that isn't owed by ME. They took it as far as to go to court and have a judgement filed against "me". However, the person listed on the court documents and in the law firms cover letter is not in fact ME. They provided a full social security number to which only the first 3 numbers aligned with mine, that was the first clue into this "mystery" debacle. Each time that this has happened, I have reached out to the law firm and the collections agency in TEARS because I've never experienced this before and was understandably concerned and terrified. Firstly, the collections agency confirmed that they do NOT have any open accounts that share my name, social security number, property address and birthdate. They DO have another person with my name under the social security number I provided from the judgement but they have a different property address and birthdate. Understandably, they could NOT share that persons personal information with me but they confirmed that this is NOT for me. I shared that information with the law firm and they confirmed that they will rectify the situation and apologized. I'm sure it goes without saying but they did NOT in fact rectify anything and instead are pursuing having my paycheck garnished even AFTER I sent in documents clearly showing all of my personal information and proving that I am not in fact the same person. Just as many others in Hawaii, we live on a very tight budget due to the costs of living here in the islands. It is NOT okay that this law firm couldn't be bothered to do their due diligence to confirm that the person they're pursuing legal actions against is the CORRECT person. They are tarnishing my reputation with my employer and could cause me to be unable to pay my mortgage should my employer have no choice but to garnish my upcoming paychecks. The emotional trauma that I have been forced to endure is not only unfair but it is debilitating and humiliating. I don't know what more I can do to get this law firm to STOP harassing me and to rectify this situation. I will be seeking legal assistance and pursuing damages should this continue. NOTE - I have no idea why it says I'm in California.. I'm in Hawaii.
