“Acclaim Legal Services has been great to work with for my bankruptcy. It was a difficult choice for me to make in the first place and they have made everything run so smoothly. Stephen was great, he was the first person I met with that went over the process with me and what I should expect. Giovanna she is on the ball not missing any important details to my case. Briget was at my hearing and it ran smoothly and was complete in less than 10 minutes. I’m so happy that I chose a knowledgeable staff and they made my level of stress I was carrying, go down a few notches. All of you have been outstanding in your service to me. Thank you so much!” — Michele
