We’d like to thank our great volunteers who have closed extended service cases:
|

Walter McArdle
(Spain & Gillion) helped a client protect her assets with a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. The client called Walter “brilliant” and said, “now there is a lot of stress off of me.”
|
|
|
Rusty Dorr
(Maynard) helped a client make arrangements for long-term medical assistance and benefits for his disabled father. Rusty worked with the government and health care providers to determine what options were available and helped him complete the application process.
|
|
|
Whitney Seals
(Cochrun & Seals) helped a client file a Claim of Exemption and avoid a garnishment. The court also ordered that all sums previously garnished should be returned to the client.
