I had to file for bankruptcy. It was really hard. Lara made it as easy as possible under the circumstances. She always returned my calls quickly and didn't make me feel bad for having to file. She also let me make payments, which no one else would. I really recommend her.

Lara Gardner is as good at being a bankruptcy attorney as I imagine it's possible for someone to be. When I was drowning in credit card bills, my income staying a millimeter ahead of my monthly credit card debt, I finally hit the point where pride gets swallowed. I googled bankruptcy attorneys, and Lara turned out to be a godsend. You think bankruptcy is some sort of shame in your life (we've all been taught that, by the banks) and she has a brilliant "bedside manner" when it comes to these anxieties you're feeling. If you don't recognize how important this is, look for someone who doesn't have

Lara is extremely easy to work with. She's prompt, friendly, professional, responds to calls and emails, and is also able to work with clients outside of Eugene, like around the Portland metro area. She also partners with a fellow attorney in Portland who can help if needed. Her rates were better than other quotes I received. She made the entire process quick and painless and didn't miss a beat along the way. Response times for any questions were always quick and informative and meeting up for paperwork was simple. The case filing went through and was completed with no problems. I highly

I've been very pleased working with these attorneys. Given how painful working with attorneys can be in general, that's saying a lot.
Both Lara and Mike are very approachable and easy to talk with. Pricing is reasonable, and they follow through and answer questions promptly. Both are excellent communicators and well organized.
After a previous experience with a disorganized divorce attorney that cost 10x as much and was a disaster, I was impressed. Lara even provided advice that was outside the immediate scope of the engagement that was extremely helpful and didn't charge for
