I highly recommend The Gooding Law Firm if you are thinking about bankruptcy as an option. I first contacted them in late December 2020, and Clif Gooding contacted just minutes after I had left a message. He laid out all my options, and I eventually made the decision to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. His staff was quick and courteous always during the process. I filed in March 2021, and the bankruptcy was finalized in June 2021. The whole process was relatively painless, and now I am looking forward to getting my financial life back on track, thanks to The Gooding Law Firm! Please do your self

A while back I found myself in the unenviable position of needing to file bankruptcy. A friend recommended The Gooding Lawfirm and I am eternally greatful. From day one they have been so helpful to me in understanding the process and keeping me moving forward. They seem to anticipate my questions and have always had the answer ready. The staff have been incredibly patient with me in getting paperwork in to them. They genuinely made me feel like I was the only client they had. I was treated with such dignity and positive regard from everyone there that I had contact with. If life ever throws you

I cannot recommend The Gooding Law Firm more highly! Cliff Gooding and his staff were courteous, professional and always will and available to answer my questions and/or assist me in anyway. Not only did they help resolve my current debt issue but they also provided the foundation for successful finance management going forward.
All-in-all, if you are in need of assistance with your financial burden, you should be contacting The Gooding Law Firm.

They did a great job for me. Very professional and went the extra mile since I had a medical issue in the middle of my bankruptcy. That was a year ago and they are still helping with the scammers that keep trying to collect money from me even though my bankruptcy is final. To Mr. Gooding and all his wonderful and helpful employees, Thank you again.
