Not helpful at all, short tempered and not available to answer any questions or concerns. Demanded cash for full payment the very first day and was the only time I felt like he tried to help and was available. Otherwise talking to constantly changing paralegals and no responses from him as isn't even aware of the facts of my case. Gary Fraley even hung up on me for no reason as I simply answered and replied one of his statements and he got easily irritated with me. Maybe he was a good attorney at some point but don't waste your money and go elsewhere. Some of the staff there is actually helpful but Mr Fraley will make excuses and be stubborn every step of the way and twist your own words against you at the end. Do not make a mistake of paying for services upfront as you will never receive the service or any of the retainer back read more

I hired this firm for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and paid in full over $2,000. Before they would start work. My paperwork was completed in mid-October, but after several months my case was never filed. I was never able to speak directly with the attorney despite repeated requests. I was only ever called back on two occasion and only once for my case. I have been told repeatedly I would receive call backs and never did. After my initial consultation I only ever head back from staff and only spoke with receptionist other than one time. This is after calling repeatedly asking to speak with someone over months of waiting for call backs. All my response had similar vague timelines while always delaying repeatedly. There were also repeated billing issues where payments were not correctly reflected, and I had to provide receipts multiple times to prove what I had paid. Ultimately, after months of delay with no filing and no clear explanation, I terminated the representation and requested a refund. I would strongly recommend getting clear expectations and guarantee timeline for filling a case in writing and considering other options before hiring this firm. read more

Suppose to have a signing today. Nope they canceled it morning of. Gary refused to see me even during my scheduled appointment time. They even threaten to call the cops during my appointment window. while I signed with them on 12/18/2024 and my filing still isn't complete. Then Gary walked out the office while I was trying to get to see him for my appointment. Told me to reschedule like I was a piece of trash. Not worth his time. My paralegal called out... so why was my appointment canceled. I requested a sit down with my lawyer. Like always; I never get it. I'd pay money to avoid this company. But sadly I paid money to stay stuck here. read more

earched online for bankruptcy attorneys and each one were cold, very curt or didn't seem interested in my debt level. Gary was the only one who from the moment you talk to him makes you feel like you're talking to a friend, not an attorney. He calmed my nerves, explained the process and even suggested the reasons why bankruptcy wasn't my best option in his opinion, which I agree. He also is funny, warm and very knowledgeable so you know hes a master of his profession. Ultimately you want someone who doesn't treat you like a commission and while he could have simply pushed me to bankruptcy and took my money he treated me like a human deserving respect and gave me alternative. I have peace of mind and it was a pleasure talking with Gary. I'll always send my friends to him if they live in CA and need his help. Highly recommend! read more

They were the best, great service and they care about you when you need services like Bankruptcy! A+ service. Thank you Fraley & Fraley. You made my life so much better. read more

I went to this company to have my bankruptcy done. After I filled out all of the information and did the online class, they said they would get back to me in a few weeks. I never heard back from them. And then when I contacted them, they said that they had lost all my information and I would have to fill out everything all over again. I explained to them the amount of work it took to come up with all of that information and fill everything out the first time and that I did not want to have to do it all over again. Not only that, but some of my financial arrangements had changed, thus making filing a bankruptcy more difficult. I had paid for the entire bankruptcy as well as the court fees upfright and they refused to give me my money back. This company robbed me of $1500 and they knew they could get away with it since they knew I was broke and would never be able to afford an attorney to sew them. read more

If you want good honest feedback on your situation this is where you go to get it. I just had a great consultation with Gary. He explained my options, next steps and even gave me additional information to help my current situation. He provided this without retaining him as my attorney. I feel more educated on my bankruptcy issue and blessed to have had this opportunity. I don't usually write reviews, but felt it was necessary to share the great experience I had with Fraley & Fraley. Eula J. read more

They charged us and did absolutely nothing. Actually my husband filled out all the documents all Farley had to do was file them. Well six months goes by and when my husband went to follow up on its progress he was informed that Fraley had lost them and told my husband he had to fill out and resubmit again. I have to ask what was the point of hiring him if the customer does all the work? To top that off his staff is rude and incapable of returning phone calls. Save yourself a headache and your money and DO NOT GO THROUGH PERSON. Filing for bankruptcy is already not ideal situation and this man will take your money,make you do all the work , then fail to file or even hold onto all your information and refuses to give you your money back. I have a huge problem havibg to give this one star bc they are extremeley undeserving. read more

Mr Fraley is a top notch attorney with a long history of serving his clients well. You will find early in your conversation with him that he knows the law and that he has a heartfelt and determined desire to help his clients. He provides a 60 minute no cost appraisal of your circumstances and a plan that you can count on. Trustworthy and Honest! read more

Mr. Fraley is honest, knowledgeable, and kind. He is here to help people like me give the best advice. He is donating his time for free to solve people's problems. If you have questions, he has the answers, and doesn't have any issues answering. He helped me understand some of the technical things I'm not familiar with and did not get frustrated or annoyed, and on top of that provided great recommendations. I, highly recommended him and we'll be continuing to work with him with no hesitation."" read more

I am giving this company another chance. After being very disappointed in the outcome of our first dealings I will see if they are capable on making good on the original agreement we had. Hopefully they will do I can change this review to a 4 or 5 stars read more

In July 2017 I retained the law offices of Fraley and Fraley to handle my bankruptcy case. Initially, I was very happy with their services. In August 2017 I was told I was need to leave a deposit of $818.00 because Mr. Fraley thought they might need to file a motion to compel abandonment to save my house in the bankruptcy. I was told by Mr. Fraley and his Associate Paul that they would know if it would need to be filed after my meeting of the creditors which took place in December. In January it was deemed that I had a no asset case by the bankruptcy trustee. And in February my case was discharged. During this time I had reached out through phone calls and email to Paul the associate handling my case. I was told the motion was not needed. Shortly, after that I reached out to Paul again to find out about getting my refund for the motion since it was not needed. At the time I found out that Paul was not longer at the firm. This occurred in January. I then started calling and leaving messages with Mr. Fraley's staff to have Mr. Fraley call me regarding my refund. As of today it has been 3 months of calling and emails and I have not heard from Mr. Fraley or any of his associates. I have even emailed Mr. Fraley's email directly and have heard nothing. One week ago I spoke with one of Mr. Fraley's staff and was told I would not be receiving a refund. I explained to him that I told it was a deposit and I was NEVER told that if the motion was not needed that I would not be getting my money back. I would have waited to pay for it when it was necessary. His staff member went on to tell me that the motion was drafted in August 2017. I asked why was it drafted before we even knew it was needed? He could not answer that and he went on to tell me that because it was drafted I would not be getting my money back. I went on to argue with him about that fact that it was drafted in August before anyone knew it was needed. This is why I am really upset 1) I was told I would be called to let me know about the motion and when it was needed. 2) I was never informed 3) I was never told I would not get my money back if the motion was not needed 4) I was told by Mr. Fraley's associate Paul that the motion was never needed. I feel that even though the motion was drafted without my knowledge its a draft. Secondly, they draft those documents using templates so it most likely took less than 30 minutes to draft it. I don't know mind paying the actual amount of time it was drafted even though I was not informed. I have worked for a corporate law firm for 10 years and know that all documents are drafted using templates. In doing my due diligence with this matter, I have contacted a different bankruptcy law firm. I was told that the not returning my calls, the lack of communication, and the fact that I will not be receiving even a partial refund is unethical. I was advised to file a complaint with the state bar, and also with the BBB. I am very disappointed in the way this has been handled. During my bankruptcy I became a single parent. I filed bankruptcy because I was in financial ruin. And now I am being told I will not receive my money back that I need to support myself and my child because a motion was drafted that was never needed. I picked this law firm due to its high reviews and that fact Mr. Fraley has been doing this for a long time. I never thought he would take advantage of a situation like this. It is very disheartening. I had high hopes that we could discuss this and come to an agreement. But instead he has chosen not to contact me to discus the matter at all. I have all the emails between his staff, and his associate Paul regarding my situation. My one other concern with this law firm is that I was asked on 4 different occasions to provide documents that contained my social security number, address, and my driver license number because they were not in my file. I had serious concerns about this due to the fact my personal information was on these documents. I have all the emails regarding my concerns on this matter. I hope that Mr. Fraley in the future decides to handle these issues in a more professional manner. And in the mean time I will be filing my complaint with the state bar and the BBB. read more

Gary is knowledgeable attorney with 45 years of experience. He is very professional and gives you the best possible advise. He was able to give me suggestions that helped me to resolve my issue with the bank. Friendly person that helps from the kindness of his heart it shows in his attitude and actions. If I were to resolve my financial issues he would be my first choice as an attorney. confidence, trust and results are obvious, highly recommend his services. read more

So glad we chose this firm to consult with our financial status.. Gary and his team helped us throughout the entire process without any problems or delay. They're very courteous and our concerns were dealt with utmost professionalism.. Thanks to Gary for giving us a great peace of mind and helping us get through it.. read more

A seamless process from start to finish. I am truly grateful for the service I received from Fraley and Fraley. My quality of life has improved. Thank you so much!!! read more

My husband and I met with Mr. Fraley and were very pleased. He answered our questions, spent a great deal of time with us, and didn't rush. He sincerely wants to help people and is trustworthy. Would definitely recommend making an appointment if you need help and aren't sure which direction to go. Also, he was not at all pressuring us, but rather giving us facts and information, which is exactly what we need right now. So, if you need to know which way to hop and what our choices are, go see Mr. Fraley! read more

I was always very prideful about having to file bankruptcy but coming here was the best decision I have ever made. They were helpful, kind and made the whole thing very easy. I highly recommend Fraley and Fraley for your Bankruptcy needs. read more

The staff in this group are very helpful, not just at the onset of your bankruptcy, but throughout the duration. We sought help in filing for bankruptcy. Brian explained to us the nuances of each type and helped guide us to which one was best for us. In the end, we filed a chapter 13 with a 5-year repayment plan for the vehicles we kept. A year later, i was contacted by my ex-husband requesting help with a previous debt. Dana, a representative with Fraley & Fraley, gladly acted as the intermediary so that i did not have to speak directly with my ex (we despise each other). A couple of years after that, we met with Gary at the firm to discuss options that suited our current situation (change in income, student loan debt, etc). He was very well-versed in all of the matters and provided excellent guidance. If you have come to the point in which bankruptcy is the best option, you definitely want to go with Fraley & Fraley. They will be by your side from the day you enter their office until the end of time. Highly recommended! read more

My wife and I searched only a little before choosing Fraley and Fraley as our bankruptcy attorneys and we struck gold with our choice. It's been two years since our case was discharged and life is so much better. Gary Fraley and his team made it so easy. They care. They walk you through each step and are meticulous, never missing a step. When you go to court with them you can be assured they will be prepared and free of any problems that I witnessed others having in court with their lawyers. You don't want to show up in court before a judge and not have an attorney who has your case in order. Trust me! I plan to never go through this process again but if you are and are considering a top notch team you can't do better than Fraley and Fraley. read more

I was very disappointed by Fraley&Fraley. They are very unprofessional and unorganized. They don't walk you through what needs to be done on your part once the process is started, they just take your money. They even charged for services they didn't actually provided. I did get my money sack for that, but how many people have they done that to?? They are stealing money from people in need of getting back on their feet. They make excuses and the are not an office I would ever refer anyone to. My advice, spend a little more for better representation! read more

First off, this law firm provided the service I requested which was a successful Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I was satisfied with that aspect of the service. I chose Mr. Fraley because of his great wealth of experience; despite, the higher prices he charges. I never saw Mr. Fraley again after the initial consultation; my case was given to a junior lawyer. I dont know if Mr. Fraley worked on my case 'behind the scenes', but I had the feeling he did not. That said, the junior lawyer was pleasant. Also, dont expect a response to a legal question if you call, or email, the office. My question was always given to another person, and I never received a response from a lawyer. I was so frustrated at one point, that I literally walked into the office without an appointment to ensure my questions were answered. Lastly, if you want assistance with redeeming a vehicle, be sure to get an assurance through writing in the beginning. They stated a willingness to help, with 'no problem', and Ive yet to get any assistance whatsoever. Ive attempted to contact the office on numerous occasions, and have been ignored. Im left to figure-out how to do this, and at risk for repossession at any moment. Hope this helps. Good luck. read more

I've never needed I lawyer before until I had to file for bankruptcy. I came across Mr. Fraley and his team and they were so helpful. They gave me so many helpful tips and took care and explained things that I wasn't able to understand, and for an affordable price due to my situation. Thank you so much Fraley & Fraley and team for working me and being so understanding. read more

On our first meeting, I told Mr. Fraley I have a lien on my property that I need removed. He assured me he will take care of everything during the bankruptcy and I trusted he would do so. After that I called several times and talked to both the receptionist and Blanca who had no idea what I was talking about. I had to tell the story over and over again. But still... nothing was done about it during the bankruptcy filing, Mr. Fraley did not even look at my case and what the issue was. I was getting desperate and called and emailed for weeks begging for help. NO answers, no return calls. After 2 months of sleepless nights and trying to get in contact with them and being told that the paralegal is extremely busy, I found a new attorney. As it turns out, my new attorney told me what the problem was in a few minutes and got it resolved in less than an hour with a few phone calls. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone, no matter how simple your bankruptcy case is! read more

I'm someone who was embarrassed to be filling bankruptcy, however Fraley and Fraley was very informative, non-judge-mental and supportive during the less then two month process. They were amazing from start to finish! They explained the whole process in detail, didn't rush or pressure me to go with their firm and made me feel comfortable from day one. Today I had my final hearing and everything went as they said it would, which I admit to initially being skeptical about, because it seemed too "straight toward". I am happy to be given a second chance with my credit and budget management and would recommend Fraley and Fraley hands down!!! read more

If any other lawyers read this and can help please comment on my post I am already out $4000.00 and in jeopardy of losing alot more at this point and no money to pay another lawyer. read more

I found them online and they were able to help me get my car back when the credit union I had my loan with pulled some shady s***. They were quick, and very professional. I had to file a chapter 13 but they made the process so easy and even offered payment options to help me. I had my car back within just a couple of days. I would recommend them to anyone considering filing a bankruptcy or reorganization. Gary is great and so was Brian even though he is no longer with them. I appreciate everything. read more

ABSOLUTE ABSOLUTE ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! I just left court today. Mr Fraley, was on time, knowledgeable and courteous.I never once had to remind them of who I was or what case I was. They were professional and I WILL be forwarding their information to my public forum page so if anybody I know needs help they will call these people first.. I have seen the bankruptcy commercials advertised in the area and I WOULD STILL CHOOSE HIM OVER THEM! To Mr. Fraley, you were an awesome attorney! You made what couldve been a horrible ordeal into something very minimal and I thank you for that. PEOPLE IF YOU ARE READING THIS... JUDGE FOR YOURSELF! GO IN AND SEE HIM.. YOU CAN ALWAYS DECIDE NOT TO HIRE HIM. BUT I PROMISE YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED! read more

My husband and I are very happy with the care and compassion we received while working with Mr. Fraley and his staff. We felt respected and valued throughout the entire bankruptcy process. read more

GREAT ATTORNEYS....ACCURATE, FRIENDLY, FUNNY, THOROUGH, REASONABLY PRICED...I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH! After incurring a large amount of medical debt, my husband and I were forced to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy. After researching multiple attorneys, we decided to go with Fraley & Fraley. It was the best decision we could have made. The initial cost was more than reasonable, especially since our situation was extensive and we had a lot of special circumstances to deal with. Gary Fraley guided us through every step of the process. We have been in bankruptcy since 2014. During this time, I have had to contact them on multiple occasions. My husband and I received several calls from creditors in the beginning and were able to simply refer them to our attorney. His team handled everything. In addition to these "expected" calls, I also was contacted by my ex-husband regarding a joint student loan (we consolidated them before our divorce and student loans are not discharged in bankruptcy). My ex and I do not get along AT ALL. I contacted Mr. Fraley's office and explained the situation, specifying that it pertained to payments with the student loan (which was supposed to be on hold during our bankruptcy). His staff acted as the mediator between my ex and I so that we did not even have to talk to each other. Mr. Fraley's team was very professional and cordial to everyone involved. There have also been other instances that have arisen that our attorneys have handled without any issues (i.e. Bank of America disputed our claim in bankruptcy, so Mr. Fraley had to file petitions and go to court on our behalf....we won). Just recently, we went back to his office to ask further questions about our particular situation and what to expect once our last payment was made in 2019. Mr. Fraley met with us and reviewed our file completely. He answered every question that we had. He is very thorough, accurate, and detailed. During every encounter, Mr. Fraley's team has been very polite. Meeting with Gary Fraley individually, however, will make you understand why his team loves working with him. He is very funny, polite, patient, and committed. Although our case has required more contact than originally expected, he has not made us pay more fees. If you choose Gary Fraley to be your bankruptcy attorney, you will never regret it. I highly recommend him and his team. read more

I am So Very Pleased with the service provided to me from this law firm! I went into the office today looking for guidance, but came out not only with my questions answered, but with a resolution to my problem!! I worked with Brian Turner and Dana Wares, who were both Amazing, Non Judgemental, and went to work for me immediately to get an issue I had regarding a judgement resolved! I'd give this firm 10 stars if I could and will recommend them to my friends, family, co-workers, and acquaintances for years to come!! read more

I can't say enough about this firm. I felt comfortable from day 1. I worked with Brian and he was amazing. Answered all my questions in a timely manner and I always knew what to expect.

I was Gary Fraley client.And I am truly applaud how that office handled my bankruptcy case. For starters I gave them my initial down payment after that i would come in once a month to make payments.But the secretary always said i owed more. I finally came in with all my receipts to show proof. They also wanted all my bills my financial status, bank accounts, social security number all my personal information to which i have given to them and they conveniently lost them. They also made an appointment with a paralegal.When i arrived there they told me she wasn't in the office and my son saw the lady in the office.I ask for my money back. But there is no refunds. This was a horrible experience for a 78 year old person. Sincerely M scott read more
