I had a few questions as for Jeff as I was considering options for a legal course. Jeff was amazing! Extremely prompt in answering emails, questions, giving guidance, and was very protective of my best interests. I highly recommend Jeff and his services!

We saw another lawyer before hiring Jeff; the other lawyer wanted twice the price and didn't even give us the right advice from the start. Jeff's fees were extremely reasonable and he responded very quickly to every question I had. Highly recommend Mr. Mathias!

We had a great experience with Jeff. Very smooth, stress-free process for something we were incredibly stressed to be experiencing, but overall, our experience was very positive.

Made bankruptcy a much easier process than if I were to have attempted it on my own. Answered all our questions promptly and as easy to understand as he could. Didn't use a lot of lawyer/court speak on us. Made the process less stressful. Highly recommend him to take care of your bankruptcy.

Jeff was absolutely fantastic! He made sure I was 100% informed of everything before, during and after the process and he responded so quickly to any questions that would arise...... which there were many. His rate was so reasonable as well, I really can not say enough great things and that speaks a ton when going through such a scary situation

Jeff and I have been fellow bankruptcy colleagues for many years. I have the privilege of working in the same building with him and we often will run ideas past each other. Occasionally conflicts come up, and I trust any client I refer to him will be in good hands. Jeff has a very straight forward process of getting cases filed and is always on top of getting things done. Furthermore, he lets clients know exactly what they need to do and when to do it and is very efficient at responding to clients' questions or concerns.

Jeff has practiced bankruptcy law in the Des Moines area for many years and has developed a practice well suited to people needing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy without a lot of hassle. He understands the needs of people burdened with debt who want a clean start through Chapter 7. He carefully helps people through the process to get them the debt relief needed.

Jeff Mathias is a very thoughtful attorney and person who goes out of his way to make sure his clients understand the work he is performing and developments in their case. I have asked Jeff to cover hearings for me and when he does he takes the time to make sure my clients understand everything and make sure if they need anything that it is dealt with. I cannot recommend a better attorney than Jeff. Jeff takes the time to work with other attorneys to improve the bankruptcy practice of law in general

I called and spoke with Jeff about filing bankruptcy, he mentioned some brief details about it. Then I asked about a "undue hardship" for remove student loans. He got very rude quickly and told me to contact a "genius lawyer" and told me good luck and hung up. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! Not professional.

I had a really positive experience working with Jeff on a Chapter 7 case this summer. He was very knowledgeable in the field and was always pointing me in the direction of the next step in the process. He gave me access to the resources I needed to finally get this monkey off my back. I live an hour away from Des Moines and was feeling uneasy about using counsel out of town. Jeff facilitated almost the entire process electronically. We met once, in-person, to assemble my petition and the rest of the process was seamless and uncomplicated. Another concern of mine, I have lived in a number of states in recent years and carried an unemployment overpayment from a different state. It proved to be a non-issue. If you're looking to get things done, Jeff will help.

It's always a pleasure to work with Jeff, knowing he will be high integrity. He has a genuine interest in his clients which is important in the legal profession. He's my "go to" lawyer in town for bankruptcy expertise and he's generous with his knowledge and wisdom.

Jeff is the go to bankruptcy attorney in the Des Moines area. I refer all of my clients to him for their bankruptcy issues and use him as a sounding board when my divorce cases involve bankruptcy matters. There are three things that you will always get with Jeff: 1) respect; 2) competence; and 3) timeliness. If you are shopping for a bankruptcy attorney in the Des Moines area he is simply the best.

The idea of divorce was overwhelming but Jeff Mathias made it very easy and helped navigate me though each step of the way. I have a friend who went a different route with her divorce and even months after the 90 day waiting period she is still having to play catch up with documents. Mr. Mathis' fee is worth every penny as he is efficient, responsive, and has a positive and upbeat attitude which is greatly needed when you are in such a dramatic and intense time of transition. I highly recommend him to anyone wondering which direction they should go.

I've had the opportunity to work on cases both with and against Jeff, and also have referred a number of my own clients to him for bankruptcy issues. In my experience, Jeff has always been very honest and forthright, and has been deeply committed to doing the right thing by both his clients and the Court. It's the nature of life and our business that we won't be able to please all people all the time, however I would highly recommend Jeff's services without any hesitation, and I'm glad to have him as a fellow member of our profession.

Jeff was very easy to work with. I could send him an email and he'd answer it within minutes. He laid everything out very clearly. He made my divorce a breeze. I shopped around for a good lawyer, read the reviews. Look no further, this is the guy you want to use.

We were very nervous when thinking about filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and found Jeff's website when searching around for attorneys. All of the answers to the questions I had were on his website, which helped us to be better prepared. He was professional and very helpful, and answered our questions and emails right away. The process was easy and not as stressful as we thought, and we would recommend Jeff to anyone thinking about filing bankruptcy in the future.

Jeff responds quickly and is very straightforward, and his fees were lower than the lawyers where I live (Cedar Rapids) so it was well worth a couple of trips to Des Moines to get my life back. Thank you Jeff!

Jeff helped me get an amicable divorce by being very clear and concise up front with what my rights, choices and process I needed to make regarding my divorce. Jeff was patient, understanding and always available to answer questions and explain the divorce process to me. I absolutely made the right decision for my divorce when I hired Jeff Mathias. If you want an understanding, compassionate attorney who really wants the best for you (and even your spouse), don't hesitate to contact Jeff.

Before calling Jeff for help I felt ashamed that I had let myself get into the financial situation I was in and believed that by filing bankruptcy I would be judged. From the first email to my court hearing Jeff always made me feel at ease and never once made me feel like I was a failure for having to go through this. He was always prompt in emails, always answered my questions and kept me informed throughout the process. He gave me a positive outlook for mine and my families future. Thank you for everything you have done for us.

I researched filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy for a year and a half before finally plucking up the courage to do so. The reason why I went with Jeff, whose office is more than an hour's drive away, was because all of the information I needed was on his website. No other lawyer I spoke with gave me all of the information I was looking for. Not only did I feel informed, but hopeful because through his website I discovered that I had an option to keep my current vehicle instead of surrending it when I filed. That was a huge chunk of my worry and hesitation in going forward with filing.

He always responded to my emails and questions in a timely manner, and didn't try to pressure me to make a decision without giving me all of the facts first. Being able to communicate via email instead of strictly by phone was a great advantage for me because of my work hours. Jeff helped make filing for bankruptcy less scary and impossible into something I felt comfortable doing. I still feel as though thank you isn't enough to really express my gratitude.

When Patti and I first entered Jeff's office concerning the need to file Chapter 7, he immediately put our minds at ease and carefully walked us through every step of the process. The training required, along with the advice and counsel were superb! We were in and out of the court room within just a few minutes with absolutely no surprises! Jeff is the best in his field - and he genuinely cares! Thanks very much for an awesome experience during this difficult time! John and Patti

If I could give less stars I would I called for information about my daughter and left a message for him to return a call when he returned call I didn't regonize his name and said I don't remember why I called and he just hung up could of least let me know where he has from or represented. I called him back what an attitude this guy has so full of himself after looking at his Website I thought for sure to recommend him till he opened his mouth I wouldn't recommend him if he was free

Jeff is a kind, thoughtful, and diligent gentleman. In my opinion, that is exactly what one needs in an attorney when facing bankruptcy or divorce. Jeff guides his clients through these daunting challenges with expertise. He makes the difficult seem easy, the complicated seem simple. He is an excellent listener and assessor of issues. His goals are always his clients' goals, and efficiency is his forte. Email or call Jeff, and your problems will be solved.

During the course of our bankruptcy, Jeff Mathias made us feel that we had control over the out-of-control debt that we had accumulated. What impressed us most was the fact that he offered us an opportunity to live free from debt through a process that included the use of technology. Almost every document Jeff required from us was transferred through email, which kept us in the security of our home without the stress of hoping a document made it to him. Jeff's emailed replies to questions were always prompt and courteous, with his touch of humorous phrases added as another stress reliever. When we finally met face-to-face, Jeff gave us the opportunity to share our concerns, while he listened with intensity and connected with us with that same humor and courteousness reflected during the emails. Even at the most stressful event, facing the court, Jeff's presence and words added a calmness to the event. When any of our friends or relatives talk about the burdens of debt, one name will be recommended to turn to for help, Jeff Mathias. Thank you. Rick and Lori Flanders

Jeff and I are long time colleagues as consumer bankruptcy lawyers and I have learned a great deal from his articles and videos. Jeff is a prolific writer who is able to boil down sometimes complex bankruptcy matters into straightforward, easy to understand language. His Iowa bankruptcy website is a well written, comprehensive resource for bankruptcy filers and attorneys, and I have it bookmarked as a "go to" resource. Jeff is also generous with his time and we regularly discuss Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 issues by email exchange. I have no hesitation in recommending Jeff Mathias to anyone seeking bankruptcy advice in Des Moines and surrounding cities.

Jeff is a fantastic bankruptcy lawyer! He makes the whole process unbelievably simple. His emails and videos are like no other, with very quick responses to emails - even after hours. His website is very well designed and loaded with loads of great information. Great place to research and learn about bankruptcy in Iowa. Within minutes of meeting Jeff he made my wife and I feel at home and much more confident about our decision to file. During our hearing I saw several other lawyers with clients and felt that Jeff was by far the best lawyer in the room. I have talked to several other lawyers about bankruptcy and have to say Jeff far outshines them in every area. My wife and I traveled two hours to get to Jeffs office and felt every mile was well worth the effort. Thanks Jeff, Iowa is extremely fortunate to have you here to represent its citizens.

Jeff is an awesome bankruptcy lawyer! He is so organized and professional. His communication is like no other, with very quick responses to emails even after hours. His website is wonderful with so much information. He kept me informed all through the process with video and audio emails. In my opinion Jeff goes above and beyond the duty of a bankruptcy lawyer! From the very first conversations he left me feeling so much better about filing. He never judged me. I had met with two lawyers prior to getting a hold of Jeff and both of them had me feeling uneasy when I left there office. I was so glad I didn't settle for someone that made me feel that way. During the hearing there were multiple lawyers with clients in there and I felt so glad that I was represented by Jeff because he was by far the best lawyer in the courtroom. His cases went smoother than the others. You will not be disappointed.

West Des Moines consumers who want to file for bankruptcy really need to talk with Jeff. This is an attorney who has long been not only a skilled advocate for Iowa consumers who are interested in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13, but also a genuinely caring professional who makes it his business to treat every client like a human being rather than another number to be run through the system.
