Client Testimonial
Patient, committed, thorough and empathetic
I can't say enough about Terry's representation as my bankruptcy lawyer. Bankruptcy is not something to be proud of. I was very impressed with Terry's professionalism and commitment to making sure the entire process was as painless as possible. He was patient and worked hard. He took care of everything so I didn't have to. It was a relief not to do the heavy lifting. I appreciate the support of being there at the face-to-face hearing with the trustee as well. He exceeded my expectation. He was worth every dollar I spent. Overall, I highly recommend him as your bankruptcy lawyer.

Thorough, hard-working and most importantly, caring
The title says it all. If you are clueless to the fine details of the law like we were then you need someone to break it down so you can understand. Terry is amazing at that and we appreciated it so much. He always was working hard for us. Always kind and caring. To me that is most important.Anonymous, October 30, 2023

Client Testimonial
Excellent attorney
You’re stressed out, you’re over your head in debt, you’re under the enormous stress that comes with your financial situation. I was lost with my predicament and very distrustful of anyone. I heard about Mr. Goddard and took the step. Mr. Goddard was everything one could hope for in such a desperate situation. He was honest and straightforward step-by-step and was a complete comfort. He always returned phone calls, emails, and took the extra time to explain the actions taking place. I felt more like I was dealing with an old friend rather than a lawyer taking care of business for a fee. He passed no judgement and did everything to relieve the stress of my financial downfall. If you find yourself in a bankruptcy need, DO NOT HESITATE calling upon Mr. Goddard for his help.

Professional and kind
From the first time my husband and I met with Terry Goddard he has been nothing but professional and kind. Not one time did we feel that we were being judged in the situation that had put ourselves into. Whenever we needed any information about our case or anything for that matter, he was quick to answer and help us out. Sometimes in life when you feel that there is no help out there only just the Lord, I feel that Terry was used as an instrument by Him to help us. And I'm sure a lot of people don't say that about attorneys. We've learned a lot about taking care of our finances, and hopefully we will never need his help, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. A million thanks Terry!!
