Posted by Lorraine | February 10, 2023 | Personal Injury

Gave the most detailed suggestions in layman's terms.

"I knew better than to go by "I know a lawyer!" when I'm still in pain. It's not a very astute way of choosing an attorney, So, if I am forced to make a change after these past 7 years, Eric will be the attorney I found on my own. Thank you, Eric! I sincerely appreciate your help!

Chapter 11 bankruptcy lawyer | Sep 01

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse Eric Sleeper with great pleasure. Secured and unsecured creditors have so much at stake in dealing with debtors who are insolvent and/or who have filed for bankruptcy. Very significantly, all bankruptcy lawyers are NOT the same. It is critical for any secured and unsecured creditor to get the most experienced lawyer (who also practices in chapter 11) to ensure the greatest opportunity for success. The best bankruptcy attorney (Eric Sleeper satisfies that description) is one who (a) understands the Bankruptcy Code, (b) understands Congressional intent underlying the Bankruptcy Code, (c) has years of practice & is respected by Bankruptcy Judges, (d) has years of experience analyzing loan documents; (e) patiently listens & understands the client's personal circumstances & (f) analyzes client facts and then suggests and implements a creative and prompt strategy for such client's success. Thanks for your professionalism. Best, Barbie D. Lieber"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
