I was in a lot of debt and decided to give Hansen Law Offices a try. I couldn't take the constant phone calls and letters in the mail from the businesses I owed money. It was a really stressful time. Filing for bankruptcy is the best thing I ever did. It gave me a new life and my credit score went up after everything was completed. Hansen Law was professional and detailed throughout the entire process. Kudos!

I needed a good attorney and was asking around. A majority of friends and family recommended Peter Hansen in Burlington. I checked them out and decided to go for it. They are exceptional and felt the money that was spent was well worth it. Great value.
