We recently had the pleasure of working with Ms. Liverpool on an adoption case, and I cannot speak highly enough of her services. Throughout the process, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. Ms. Liverpool was not only timely with her responses and actions but also ensured that we were well-informed at each step. Her approachable and amiable demeanor made her a joy to work with, turning what could have been a daunting experience into a truly positive journey. Thanks to her dedication and skill, our adoption was successful. I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Liverpool to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Not gonna lie this is one of those things where it’s to good to be true: I was hoping I wouldn’t get scammed because she gave me the price upfront and gave me all the information I needed and answered all my questions. I never spoke to a third party person or secretary it was always the Chirnese herself messaging me through email or answering my questions through phone . She got back to me in a timely matter, eased any of my worries, is extremely affordable ironically for a bankruptcy case. And best part was that everything was handled online over the phone even my court hearing was through zoom. Still I thought this was a scam since everything was done through email or phone that I even drove up to her office to look at what I was dealing with. Payment was sent through Zelle but from what I recall there were other payment options not just electronically. But because everything was done online it was super convinient. From the moment I called once payment was completed I got my court date about under a week later. She showed up to my court zoom meeting as well. In this time of an extremely stressful process I’m so glad I went with my gut and chose this lawyer to help me through this. She did all of the work for me and left me worry free. If you are thinking about filing for bankruptcy I highly suggest contacting her she offers a free consultation where she answers all your questions and gives you the price upfront so you get taken care of from that first phone call up til after your court date.

Chirnese was amazing. My case went much longer than expected, and Chirnese was always on top of it. She was super responsive whenever I had questions and had my back the whole way. Was a real pleasure working with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal representation.

My experience with Chirnese was wonderful. She patiently walked me through the name change process, answered all of my questions, and provided me with updates along the way. I would recommend her to my friends in a heartbeat.

We completed our step parent adoption with Attorney Liverpool and it was a success. She was a great help every step of the way and was always there to answer any questions. Thankful for her services, I would highly recommend.

We had an incredible experience with Chirnese who led us through adult adoption of our former foster daughter. Chirnese was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and explained everything clearly and with a great sense of humor and truly excellent pricing through our MetLife legal plan. I was stunned by how quickly her team completed the paperwork and got us a court date, and she was clearly known and valued by the court staff. Couldn’t recommend her services more!

Chirnese - She is truly professional, caring and and overall fantastic. For my case, she really spent the time to provide all the resources we needed to complete our process. She supported us with the communication between vendors, the court personnel and even with the other parties management of this case. She checked with us before and after every court date and really cared for our family through our process. She is truly a valued professional in this industry but definitely a valued member in our family. We can not recommend her more for your legal needs.
