Charles Pope is an excellent bankruptcy attorney. He helped me and my family get back on our foot and was able to put over $1,000 back in our pocket each month.

I recently had to file bankruptcy and having never filed before I came into the experience with some negative preconceived notions about it. I found the Pope Firm through a Google search, called the number and connected with Kelsey Shaw, one of the paralegals of the firm. After the initial consultation, I left with a completely different understanding of what bankruptcy was and why it was the right thing for me to do. I had prayed for an answer to my dire financial situation and truly believe that I was led to The Pope Firm. It took less time than I thought it would and before I knew it, all the phone calls had stopped and I had the fresh start that I so desperately needed. The lessons that I've learned from how I got to the point of bankruptcy to where I go from here are invaluable! I would highly recommend The Pope Firm for professional, non nonsense, get down to it and get you on your way with a smile service! Thank you Atty Pope and Miss Kelsey Shaw! God bless you both for being so nice and professional! Thank You God for leading me to The Pope Firm! :o)

This is the most comfortable I have felt dealing with litigation. They were very considerate of a delicate situation and didn't judge or make me feel embarrassed about filing. I am always busy and they were super flexible when it came to my schedule. They were super knowledgeable and thorough in their research. And compared to other attorneys that I spoke with, very affordable! Definitely will be using them again should the need arise.

I have nothing but good things to say about this firm and the staff. My husband and I were very nervous during the bankruptcy process, but each staff member at The Pope Firm was able to give us reassurance and guidance to ease the process. They were quick to answer any questions we had as well. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for financial, legal help.
