Amazing team! From filing to 341 meeting to discharge was exactly 90 days. When you get it done right you have no issues. John and his team are on it. This can be one of the scariest things a person can do but the reality is, it’s simple and not as bad as you think. All thanks to Shield Law.

Excellent service, very accessible to my attorney John, and my case was done and completed within a matter of a couple months. I'm absolutely debt free now and my credit score is over 700. The best part is that even after my bankruptcy, John has still been available to help me with rebuilding credit. Thank you John!

Bankruptcy was totally new to me but Mr. Sarai, the attorney, walked me through every step of the way with detailed explanations that illustrated his knowledge and expertise on the matter. He was always there for me to answer any question or doubt that I had whether it was over the phone or by email.

Shield Law Group is a phenomenal team of attorneys and paralegals that work with you every step of the way with situations that you have no control over that deal with legal matters like bankruptcy which is one of the issues I had. They gave me good legal advice on what the next steps were and the pros and cons of it. What would benefit me the most, because of my current situation, to make a long story short Shield Law Group goes above and beyond the call of duty they care about their clients and work with you until your legal issues are resolved.

John was the most, open, responsive and reliable lawyer I’ve ever dealt with. When John told me I could call him at anytime, he meant it! John and his assistant were always there for me. If for some reason they weren’t available at the moment, they would call or email back in very quick response times! John wasn’t like one of those 1-800 lawyers you hear on radio and television making false promises! He gave me options and then told me it was possible to get everything I wanted, but he was also upfront and told me it could possibly go another direction. He gave me a plan A and B to prepare me for just in case. He never mislead me or gave me false hope. Always upfront with me. At the end of the day, John got me everything I asked of him! Now I have a fresh start! After all that, most importantly, when the case was finalized and all wrapped up, John followed up with me a couple times just to make sure everything is good and offered advice going forward! Something he didn’t have to do.

John and Claudia are amazing, they are professionals who care about people and their families. I came to John in a bad place financially and emotionally. He cared enough to listen and hear me out. He offered my family and I options regarding our financial wellbeing. He has gone above and beyond and is guided me through other aspects of my family’s financial future. I wasn’t the easiest client but John being the constant professional helped my family and I get back on top of things. From my family to yours John, Thank

John Sarai of Shield Law to get my chapter 7 bankruptcy completed. He made the process extremely easy, and they were there to represent me on the zoom meeting for the court hearing. My chapter 7 was completed, and I never had to pay anything further than the initial fee that we arranged. Mr. Sarai always had time to take my phone call for questions and concerns. I would recommend their services to anyone, and would use them again in the future. Thanks for all the hard work! Looking forward to working with you in the future
