Attorney Neavill was wonderful to work with!
Going through bankruptcy seems embarrassing, scary and daunting, but Attorney Neavill was wonderful to work with! He was thorough in explaining what was going to happen and what I needed to do to move things along, and he was very kind through the whole process. I had an excellent experience working with Watton Group and Attorney Neavill, and I thank them for their help.
Lynn Teasley
Kind and informative experience
I called Watton Law Group inquiring some information about bankruptcy. I spoke with Mr. Watton himself, and he clearly explained everything I needed to know and answered all of my questions. He was so kind, and funny too! We discussed other options because he did not feel that I was a good candidate for bankruptcy. I’m grateful for his advice, honesty, and for steering me in a different direction that is more suitable for my needs. He even recommended a couple of books that I can purchase. It almost felt like I was talking with my dad. He was very calming and comforting. Thank you so much again! Danelle

Answered Every Question Lightning Fast
Peter was who assisted us with our bankruptcy case and helped us immensely, answered every single question lightning fast, and even answered questions and helped with his knowledge in situations that were probably outside of our agreement, and did so without complaint, happily, and thoroughly. He was easy to reach at any time when needed, provided direct means of contact, was reasonably priced, and offered solutions and ideas we had never even thought of for all aspects of the process, even when not asked, just to be helpful.

Very Professional
Very professional and walked me through every step. I’d recommend this business.
Michelle Richardson
Satisfied with their representation
Very helpful if you follow their instructions, but they did send me the wrong docket time for my initial hearing with the bankruptcy judge, which I assume can only be rescheduled a limited amount of times. Also had a little trouble getting in contact with or timely answers to questions I had from my attorney near the official filing date. Had to deal with a lot of secretaries and paralegals. My only complaints would be not being able to get ahold of my attorney close to the official filing date (which requires statements with dates & balances of all of your accounts) and getting my initial hearing time wrong. Overall, they did get it done and gave me correct advice. So I am overall satisfied with their representation.
Nicci
You Want THE BEST!
They are very attentive to your needs, they discuss everything in detail so you know what is going to happen. If you have any questions, they are always available to answer them. They understand you may have what you consider a silly question, but they'll answer it without hesitating. They are not the cheapest, but who wants the cheapest?! You want THE BEST and that's what you get with Watton Law! I recommend them HIGHLY!

Bankruptcy FAQs
How do I start the bankruptcy process?
To start the bankruptcy process, consult with a qualified bankruptcy attorney who can assess your situation and guide you through the necessary paperwork and court filings. They will ensure the process is handled correctly.
How long does bankruptcy affect credit?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy can remain on your credit report for up to 10 years, while Chapter 13 can remain for up to 7 years. However, its impact lessens over time, especially if you rebuild your credit responsibly.
Can I keep my home in bankruptcy?
Depending on the type of bankruptcy and your situation, you may be able to keep your home. Chapter 13 can help you catch up on mortgage payments, whereas Chapter 7 might allow you to retain your home if it's exempt.
What is Chapter 13 bankruptcy?
Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows individuals with regular income to create a plan to repay all or part of their debts over three to five years. This type can help prevent foreclosure on a home.
