PHOENIX - Arizonar -- For over two decades, Robert R. Teague has successfully discharged more than 15,000 Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases, making him one of the largest filers of consumer bankruptcy's in Arizona. As he closes out the end of 2020, Teague reflects on why he does what he does, and how Teague Law Firm's bankruptcy law firm business model is different than other bankruptcy firms in the greater Phoenix area.

"I believe there is nothing more important for a client when handling a bankruptcy case than having the actual leading attorney as the one who meets and communicates directly with his or her clients from start to finish," Teague said. "Other firms can run you through the gauntlet of intake/salespeople or legal assistants before you even speak to an actual attorney. This can lead to a lot of unnecessary stress and questions during an already difficult time for bankruptcy clients."
