Choosing the right Tucson bankruptcy attorney is as important as the decision to file bankruptcy itself. I have been practicing law in Tucson for over 25 years and have helped thousands of people like you get a fresh start.
Results.
I have filed thousands of cases. All of my clients have received a discharge injunction and obtained the fresh start they desired.
Satisfied clients.
What I say about myself and my firm is far less important than what my clients think. View my excellent Avvo reviews to get a sense of how my clients feel about my abilities, professionalism and commitment to achieving a positive outcome for them. I also have excellent reviews on Google+, Yelp, Yahoo and others.
My abilities have been recognized many times.
Avvo is a source that rates attorneys; my rating is “Superb”. I also have an “A+” rating at the Better Business Bureau. I have been voted one of the best attorneys in the valley by North Valley Magazine (October 12, 2013), and have lead seminars for other bankruptcy attorneys on various bankruptcy topics.
Our clients refer their friends and family to us.
When consumers have a good experience with any business they refer their friends and family to that business. My law firm is just like any other type of business so we work hard to make sure our clients have a superior experience with us. The feedback we routinely receive from our clients is very positive and our statistics indicate that our referral business is strong so we must be doing it right.
TUCSON BANKRUPTCY LAW
Decades of Experience
I started practicing law in Tucson, AZ in 1992.
I was a Judge Pro Temp and presided over civil cases like debt collection matters and breach of contract cases in the Pima County Consolidated Justice Court. I have been the President of the Tucson Association of Bankruptcy Attorneys from 2010 – 2016. In bankruptcy proceedings, experience counts, and I have a long history of achieving results for my clients in the Tucson courts.
My emphasis is on bankruptcy law.
The overwhelming majority of our cases are either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Usually, if we are handling anything different it is because one of our previously satisfied bankruptcy clients insists that we represent them in a different matter.
I am a seasoned litigator.
I have handled more than 50 jury trials and more than 250 evidentiary hearings. I also argued a case of first impression in Arizona in 2011. That means that the issue had never been litigated before. The case is called In Re Thiem which resulted in a big victory for my client and every debtor in Arizona in a similar situation. In a nut shell the case holds that an inherited IRA is exempt from attachment in Arizona so my client was able to keep it even though she filed a bankruptcy petition.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
Client Education
We educate our clients.
I have a flow chart that will show you the path your case will take and a diagram that will show you the “bankruptcy chess board.” After our initial consultation, you will know more about bankruptcy law than most attorneys.
I will help you complete the workbook.
If you are shopping around, ask the other attorneys if they will spend one hour with you completing the workbook. Every attorney has a large workbook that must be completed. Mine is 26 pages long and I will complete 20 of the pages for you so you will not have to worry if it is being done correctly. Otherwise it may take you several hours and cause you quite a bit of stress to complete a workbook on you own.
Free video series.
I have created a series of videos that will answer many of the questions you have about declaring bankruptcy. It is a giveaway. Most bankruptcy attorneys in town do not give this information away. They want you to make an appointment and go their office before anything else.
Rebuilding your credit.
To my knowledge, I am the only bankruptcy attorney in Tucson that will assist you in rebuilding your credit. All of my clients are enrolled in a credit rebuilding program that guarantees a 720 credit score. I cover the cost of this program for you. More than 10,000 of these programs have been sold for $1000 each and you will not have to pay a penny because I will take care of that for you.
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
Clear Communication
We communicate effectively.
Playing phone tag is ineffective. We have a block of time set aside every day on the calendar in which we return phone calls. That block is at a different time each day. If you call the office and I am not available to come to the phone, you will be offered a phone appointment time so you know exactly when we can talk. Our clients seem to be very happy with this procedure so that’s how we do it.
We answer the phone.
We don’t use voice mail during business hours. You will talk to someone who can possibly answer most of your questions even if they are not an attorney. Many times, our clients have questions about procedure and our staff is trained to answer these questions. We keep diligent notes in our computer about every case so anyone on our staff will be able to talk to you about where your case has been, where it is now and where it is going.
I don’t play games during the initial phone call.
First, I take every call that I can and yes, after we discuss your circumstances, I will quote you a fee on the phone. If I can’t take the call my staff will provide an estimate for you.
We start our appointments on time.
The way I see it an appointment is an agreement and we strive to keep all our agreements.
Weekly review.
Once per week our entire staff meets and we review every single case to make sure everything that needed to be done in your case is done and to prepare for what must be done in the future to obtain your discharge injunction.
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
Reasonable Pricing
We offer competitive fees.
We offer outstanding service at fair price. We have flat fees so you won’t be surprised in the end. And yes I will quote you a fee over the phone after we discuss the facts and circumstances of your case so call me, if I’m available I will come to the phone.
Money back guarantee.
This applies to Chapter 7 clients. If you do not receive a discharge injunction because of an error made by my firm then I will refund my fee. By the way, this has not happened a single time in all the years I have been practicing law in Tucson since 1992.

Tracy, a Google Review, Jan. 10, 2018
After a time consuming, expensive & very frustrating experience with our last attorney back in Oregon… we were SO relieved with the friendly, fast, and experienced staff at the Terzza office! We are so appreciative of the attention, knowledge, and attitude we received from Stephen and his staff!

I am not usually one to leave reviews but I had to take time out of my day to show some appreciation for this law firm. I honestly did not expect the urgency, ease of communication and above and beyond type service I received from Trezza Law Firm and my Attorney Stephen Trezza. They made everything so understandable and made sure I knew exactly what was to come in case. For once I felt heard and they fought for what they believed I truly deserved even they could of just did the bare minimum of their part in filling all the necessary documents, they pushed and got me what I needed and deserved and I am grateful! I would highly recommend them and you will see for yourself when you go into the office that they actually want to do what is gonna be best for you!

Mr. Trezza represented me in my Chapter 7 bankruptcy after my husband committed suicide. The monthly survivor benefits from social security were way below what my husband had been receiving so I could no longer keep up payments to unsecured creditors. Mr. Trezza explained everything to me before I hired him. I would not have been able to handle it all myself even if my brain was not in “reboot” mode after my husband’s suicide. Mr. Trezza’s staff always answered the phone – I never had to leave a voicemail and I was never on hold for any length of time. The staff was able to answer almost all of my questions when I would get confused due to my periodic inability to focus but when they couldn’t they would get back to me with the answer usually later the same day or the next morning at the latest. Often Mr. Trezza would call me himself or send me an email. I live over 100 miles from Mr. Trezza’s Tucson, Arizona office. He utilizes email and other even more secure Internet document transfer software so I never had to go to Tucson until the court date. I am extremely pleased with the smooth way my bankruptcy went. I really needed a highly experienced attorney to lead me through the bankruptcy process while I have been grieving and mourning my husband’s suicide. Mr. Trezza was fantastic.
