I truly cannot say enough about Myrna Fournier and the amazing experience I had working with her! From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, professional, and patient. She walked me through each step of the process with clarity, made sure I understood everything, and never made me feel like just another case. Her communication was consistent, timely, and thoughtful — I always felt supported and cared for. Even when things felt overwhelming on my end, Myrna stayed calm, encouraging, and on top of every detail. You can tell she's passionate about what she does and genuinely wants the best for the people she's helping. She made what could have been a difficult process feel manageable and gave me so much peace of mind. Myrna, you are doing an amazing job as a legal assistant, and your hard work does not go unnoticed. Ostling & Associates is lucky to have you on their team — and I'm grateful I got to work with you. Highly recommend this team and especially Myrna for anyone needing professional, compassionate, and dedicated legal support!

Our experience with Taylor was very good. He was very professional yet added a bit of humor to it as well. He made the process very easy.

Excellent service and patience with someone who has little experience in bankruptcy and sending documents electronically. The person that was so nice, patient, and extraordinary in figuring out my mess of documents ( I sent doubles, triples, and the wrong format) Myrna Fournier took the time and sorted it all out. Without her I'm not sure i would have ever figured it out. Thanks Myrna I

Ostling & Abbott made filing bankruptcy such a smooth process. In particular, we really appreciated working with Aidan. He answered all our questions promptly and with great detail. He explained things in a way that was very easy to understand. He paid great attention to every detail to make sure we were confident in the decisions we made. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and reassured throughout what could have been a stressful process. He made the entire process so much easier. We highly recommend using this office for filing bankruptcy.
