- ★★★★★Complex Case
Deon · tax law ·
My case involved complex issues of IRS debt, foreclosure, business, and of course; debt. Ted was patient, empathetic to my circumstance, and explained everything to me. He didn’t rush me through the process but took his time to educate me on all aspects of the process. Nearly a year has gone by, and my case is still pending due to assets. He is still in the forefront and knowledgeable in my case, without needing to go back and “refresh” his memory. If I could, I would give him a 10 star rating! I’m sure there are other great attorneys out there in his field, but to me, he will always be the best! Thank you, Ted, for giving me back my piece of mind, and being an advocate for me!
- ★★★★★The best there is!

I cannot recommend this firm highly enough. When I came in for my consultation, I was at the lowest point of my life. I feeling very scared about my future ahead and had a lot of shame about considering filing for bankruptcy. From the beginning, I was impressed at the level of care and empathy that w as shown to me by everyone at the firm that interacted with. I am forever grateful for this firm. Lauren was always available to answer my questions. Ted especially was an amazing advocate for me and always made sure that I had access to all my of options and was able to make informed decisions. I never thought I would ever have so much trust in an attorney and always felt like he had my best interest at heart. Six months after my initial consultation, I feel confident that I made the right choice for myself and am able to move ahead in this new chapter of my life. I have this firm to thank for that, and have already recommended them to several people I know who are considering filing.
- ★★★★★Saved home
anonymous · real estate ·
Mr. Piteo was amazing to work with. My elderly mother was scheduled for an eviction hearing within a week or less. I called more than a dozen lawyers but they either said it was too late or they were just too busy. Mr. Piteo was able to find a way for my mother to keep her house. I would recommen d Mr. Piteo because he is great to work with, he knows his stuff, and his service is worth way more than what he charges. He is a lifesaver. And our family will be forever grateful.
- ★★★★★So grateful for the smashing success!
Terry · bankruptcy ·
I am so appreciative of the excellent help, competency, and kindness I received from Michael O'Brien and Ted Piteo! I spoke with 7 bankruptcy firms, and because of my particular type of debt and amount of assets I have, none of them had a solution that helped me out - I was very worried about financ ial hardship without bankruptcy. Finally, I found O’Brien and Associates, and they were the only firm in the entire state of Oregon that had first-hand experience with a new part of the Chapter 11 code (subchapter V) – this is the route we took to succeed in my bankruptcy. I worked with both of the firm’s attorneys, Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Piteo. They are both highly qualified and competent, with complementary strengths that make them an excellent and formidable team. They are just honest, good people – I’d enjoy having them as neighbors! Both Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Piteo have a high degree of integrity, and I trust them both. For example, at one point, I understood Mr. O’Brien to have made a billing commitment, and when I saw something that seemed to not match that commitment, I called him up and we worked it out in a mutually acceptable, reasonable way that left me trusting him more. My case was moderately complex (at least for a small business owner such as myself), and both Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Piteo did an excellent job of assessing potential weaknesses in my case and explaining potential outcomes, so I always felt secure knowing what potential pitfalls might come and how to deal with them. Mr. O’Brien did high-quality and skillfully-nuanced settlement negotiations with one of my creditors (my ex-wife). Mr. Piteo represented me during the pendency of my case in bankruptcy court. He did an excellent job of negotiating with one of my creditors to ease the way to getting my plan confirmed. He also was timely with answering my questions, and allaying my concerns by providing me with honest, accurate information. An added bonus is that Mr. Piteo is lively and fun, which made the entire process easier to handle, and I even enjoyed it! Mr. Piteo did such an excellent job of litigating my case in bankruptcy court, to the point that the judge gave her ruling at the end of the hearing, and we won everything we proposed in the Chapter 11 reorganization plan. He also did an excellent job preparing me to testify, both with specific questions he’d ask me, and how to handle combative questions from my ex-wife’s lawyer. I am so relieved I found O’Brien and Associates, that I could trust them, and I am very grateful for their great care, competence, and help in my 100% successful bankruptcy case. They delivered as they said they would, without surprises, and I highly recommend them.
- ★★★★★One of the best attorney’s I have ever dealt with

Everything about this experience was made better having Ted on my side. He had very precise answers to all my questions and laid out the options I had without making me feel rushed. His rates were very reasonable in the end. At no point in time did I feel like I was being overcharged. I would high ly recommend Mr. Piteo
- ★★★★★New “Chapter” of Life!

- ★★★★★Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
anonymous · bankruptcy ·
I just got my official discharge and I couldn't be happier that I chose Kelly to represent me! He supported me through the whole process in a professional, knowledgeable, and kind manner, and he was very prompt in answering any questions I had. I would recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a great ba nkruptcy attorney.
- ★★★★★We Highly Recommend Kelly!
Anna B. · bankruptcy ·
My husband and I went through a very difficult time financially and ended up needing to file bankruptcy. We interviewed a few bankruptcy lawyers, and after talking to Kelly we were convinced we had found our lawyer. We couldn't be happier to recommend Kelly Jones. Kelly took the time to educate us ab out our options and helped us choose which bankruptcy option was right for us. He helped us, not only with the initial filing and court proceedings, but also with every detail that came up along the way - start to finish. We want everyone to know that we are happy clients and we are thankful for Kelly's help with our case. We appreciate the way he conducts his business, his responsiveness and his attention to detail. Thank you Kelly!
- ★★★★★Bankruptcy consult and filing
Sandy · bankruptcy ·
I hired Kelly to represent me, and this decision was validated every time I spoke with, emailed, or met with him. I would leave his office, hang up the phone, or read one of his email responses and feel instantly better. He was helpful, direct, and respectful throughout the entire process and gave thorough answers to my questions in a relevant way. No games. Straight answers, anticipating I'd make the decisions I needed to make based on my own judgement system and respecting whatever that might be. He was also very personable and sincerely seems to like his work and helping people. This is important! You'll be doing the work (gathering documents, going through the budget courses, keeping track of communications from creditors, etc.), and you will want someone you can communicate well with and who welcomes your questions. Our conversations would always leave me feeling more optimistic and clear. I'd know what to expect from him on his end and what I needed to do on my end for whatever step was next in the process. His fees are reasonable, and he is clear when explaining them. Right from the beginning, when I called to inquire about a consultation, the time I spent with him on the phone before even coming into his office was already more valuable than I had anticipated and gave me insight where others had left me with more confusion. While the work seemed daunting and could get emotionally overwhelming if I let it, Kelly was able to put me at ease every time I had any concerns at all. He helped me put this stressful situation into perspective and begin seeing beyond the bankruptcy. Kelly is kind, sharp, on top of updates relevant to your case, follows through, and is someone you can rely on. 5 stars is not nearly enough to express my gratitude and my faith in his work. I highly recommend hiring him.

I cannot sing Brian's praises loud enough. I found him through an Internet search engine after my wages started being garnished. My financial life was in a spiral after a particularly difficult separation from my spouse. Brian was quick to respond to my email inquiry, set up an immediate appointment, walked me through the process step by step and reassured me the entire way. Due to the garnishment, he worked extra hard to make sure my case was ready to file ASAP. I literally had a case number within 8 hours of our first meeting. I was astonished at his "drop everything and help you" attitude. I've worked with lawyers in the past that have made the legal process drag on forever. Brian's knowledge, positive attitude, fabulous communication (through phone and email), and friendly personality was the rock that I needed to get through a scary time. Highly recommend him to anyone who is struggling financially.
- ★★★★★Outstanding Attourney. Extreamly helpful, responsive and on top of my needs as a client.
Joe C. · bankruptcy ·
Brian assisted me with a Chapter 7 suit and right from the start he helped with anything I needed. He kept me informed and up to date on changes, court deadlines and requirements as well as helped greatly with the complexities of filing. He also went out of his way to help me with a payment plan an d from the very start he eased the entire process. I would absolutely recommend this attorney to assist you in your bankruptcy needs.

Annette · bankruptcy ·
Brian Wheeler is an amazing attorney. He walked me through a very long and complicated bankruptcy. He is knowledgeable, professional, and caring. In the end, I was able to eliminate all my credit card debt and keep my house. Filing bankruptcy with him was one of the best decisions I have ever ma de. His fees are very reasonable and well worth all the time and service he gives to his clients. I really can't imagine going through this process without a good attorney, I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of bankruptcy!
