“After doing a bunch of internet research for Bankruptcy Attorneys, Kain & Scott PA overshadowed all others I had looked at. If you are not sure what to do, which option is best or who to choose, please call Kain & Scott. They will listen to your situation and tell you what your best option would be. Again call Kain & Scott, you will be glad you did! I know I am!!”

- Tammy E.

“I am not one to ever right a review, but with how wonderful Kain & Scott are I just have to let other people know. I would most definitely recommend them to my family, friends, or a colleague who is looking at filing bankruptcy.”

- Jessica A.

“Kain and Scott is the BEST!! Margaret H. helped me out a great deal when I was going through my hardship! I really love the fact that all the staff including Lindsay B. was kind enough to answer some personal questions that I had along the way. I wouldn't choose another company to work with! Thank you everyone who made my journey as a BREEZE! Now I would like to include Stephanie V. Buerger for congratulating me on my journey stepping forward to a debt free life! Stephanie Googins has done a great job providing me with additional information after the bankruptcy proc”ess!

- Gina S.

“I highly recommend this firm as well as recommending bankruptcy! Times have changed and it's not a big deal like it may have once been or how old people talk about it. It's truly a new beginning. This has made my life so much simpler. Exactly what I needed heading into a divorce. I can't thank these guys enough!! ”

- Mandy B.

“The process was so easy, this firm does all of the work for you and really works for you. They are great in responding to any questions you may have. I would recommend this firm to anyone who is struggling with debt. They are also very cost effective, and will work with you for payment arrangements. We couldn't be more satisfied! Debt free finally!”

- Katie B.

“All I can say is wow! From the moment I walked in the door I felt welcome and better right away! Everyone one treated me like me like my story actually mattered! I worked with Misty Myers and she was such an amazing person to work with! She made things so easy and just took charge right away with trying to help! I highly recommend Kain and Scott! I couldn't be happier with how I was treated!”

- Dustin S

“Even from the first conversation I had on the phone regarding their services, I knew I was going to choose them. I made an appointment for the following week and was welcomed with no judgement. The whole process was fast and efficient. I worked personally with Misty, Samantha, and Callie but everyone there was extremely helpful when I had questions. There was little to no paperwork and they did most of the work for me. My only regret was not filing sooner!”

- Megan W.

“The staff at Kain & Scott were amazing! They make you feel very comfortable from the first time you step in the door. Everything is well organized and they respond quickly to any questions you have. Shout out to Wes, Calli, Megan, Sarah, and Lindsey you all were great in helping me get my life back. Keep up the good work!!”

- Toby A.

“I have to say I have had the greatest experience filing bankruptcy with Kain&Scott. Kelsey B Quarburg and Jesse A Horoshak were two of the most professional attorneys I have ever worked with. Jesse showed up at my 341 meeting totally prepared. Other attorneys along with their clients weren't. Jesse and I weren’t called up first, so I had the privilege of seeing how this meeting would work. The first two clients and attorneys weren’t prepared at all, they were told by the federal trustees,that they were missing paperwork and information. It took these two clients and attorneys 20 minutes each to get through the process. Jesse had 1 client he was representing before me. The process was flawless, 5 minutes and the process was complete. My meeting took 5 minutes. It proved to me choosing the best law firm matters. Kelsey B Quarburg is the best. She was very professional yet she was also human. She would respond to my emails at odd times of the day and night. She kept me informed every step of the way. Thank you both. Thank you Callie for making sure my paperwork was forwarded and up to date. What a team. Thank you all so much for a job well done ,and I mean this from the bottom of my heart. Once again thank you all,for giving my life back. GOD BLESS YOU ALL ”

Thank you to Megan R. for being flexible with payment arrangements and really understanding what other people may be going through and how to do what is best for them. 😊 Thank you to Stephanie Buerger as well,for being very welcoming and easy to work with during my initial info gathering. Thank you gals for making my experience a low stress to the point “filer friendly” experience. ”
