Ranked picks

Law Office of Matthew M. Cree, LLC
Why it ranks first
Matthew Cree posts the highest composite score on this list, built on a 5.0 rating across 251 reviews, an unusually large and consistent base for a Greenwood solo practice. Clients repeatedly describe him turning foreclosure, collections, and bankruptcy stress into a process they could actually follow, with quick answers and steady contact.
Pros
- Responsive to client inquiries throughout the case
- Explains complex foreclosure and debt processes clearly
- Patient, compassionate approach to stressful situations
- Handles foreclosure, collections, and bankruptcy work
Watch out: A small number of callers reported rude or unhelpful front-desk phone staff.
Services: bankruptcy chapter 7 13, debt collection defense, foreclosure defense litigation, free consultation

Dawn McClara, Realtor fka Whalen Realty Group, LLC
Why it ranks second
When the fix is selling fast rather than fighting in court, Dawn McClara's 4.9 rating across 56 reviews shows a realtor clients trust with complicated, time-sensitive sales, including out-of-state transactions. Reviewers keep coming back to her for late-night availability and negotiation skill when things get messy.
Pros
- Around-the-clock availability and fast responses
- Skilled negotiator with strong local market knowledge
- Handles complex and out-of-state transactions
- Repeat clients across multiple sales
Services: foreclosure service

Jackson & Oglesby Law LLC
Why it ranks third
Jackson & Oglesby Law backs up a perfect 5.0 rating over 50 reviews with a 30-year track record and NACBA membership. Reviewers name Stacy Burkhard and Dana Oglesby specifically for translating bankruptcy procedure into plain language and staying available for repeated questions, even years after a case closes.
Pros
- Named staff remembered for patience and follow-up
- Plain-language explanations of bankruptcy procedure
- Available for repeated questions without rushing clients
- Long-term relationships that outlast the initial filing
Services: bankruptcy chapter 7 13, debt collection defense, foreclosure defense litigation, free consultation

The Curry Law Firm LLC
Why it ranks fourth
Davina Curry earns a 4.7 rating over 38 reviews for fighting hard in contested custody and family law matters, with recent feedback emphasizing quick responses and thorough case management. This is more of a courtroom advocate than a foreclosure specialist, but the litigation strength is well documented.
Pros
- Aggressive courtroom advocacy in custody disputes
- Recent reviews cite quick, responsive communication
- Compassionate, straightforward counsel
- Thorough case management through resolution
Watch out: Some older reviews describe delays filing motions and slow initial communication.
Services: loan modification loss mitigation, free consultation, legal services, bankruptcy chapter 7 13

Hensley Legal Group, PC
Why it ranks fifth
Hensley Legal Group carries the largest review base on this list, 4.9 stars across 281 reviews, and clients credit the firm with first-application Social Security disability wins and a well-organized, fast-moving office. Recent feedback leans heavily on their community backpack giveaway rather than foreclosure work specifically.
Pros
- First-application disability approval reported by a client
- Well organized and fast-moving service
- Active community involvement
- Consistently responsive staff
Watch out: Recent reviews focus more on disability and community work than foreclosure specifics.
Services: loan modification loss mitigation, foreclosure defense litigation, legal services, real estate title issues

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices
Why it ranks sixth
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices draws a 4.5 rating from 24 reviews, with individual agents like Angi Oakes, Lenell, Nicole Johnson, and the Edwina Withers/Tim Smart team singled out for managing complicated, multi-property transactions with clear communication. It's a smaller review base, so treat the score as a solid but not exhaustive read.
Pros
- Named agents with strong individual track records
- Handles multi-property and complex transactions
- Strong communication and follow-up through closing
Watch out: A minority of reviewers describe rude front-desk moments and one privacy lapse by staff.
Services: foreclosure service, legal services

Van Valer Law Firm, LLP
Why it ranks seventh
Van Valer's overall rating sits at 3.9 from 40 reviews, but the sentiment behind it is positive: Tom Vander Luitgaren is described as a trusted advisor of 20-plus years who gives transparent advice rather than upselling unnecessary services. Good fit for real estate or estate paperwork alongside foreclosure questions.
Pros
- Tom Vander Luitgaren's 20+ year client relationships
- Transparent advice without upselling extra services
- Thorough document review and entity formation guidance
Watch out: A few reviewers cite lapses in compassion and perceived bias in joint representations.
Services: loan modification loss mitigation, real estate title issues, legal services, foreclosure service

Walterman Legal
Why it ranks eighth
All four reviews for Joe Walterman are five stars, praising his honesty and compassion through difficult, long-running cases. The sample is small and centers on family law and personal injury work, so there's not yet direct evidence of his foreclosure or debt collection experience.
Pros
- Responsive communication even during long cases
- Thorough, honest collaboration with clients
Watch out: Very few reviews so far, and none specifically address foreclosure or debt collection work.
Services: debt collection defense, legal services, loan modification loss mitigation, foreclosure service

Office of Bradley A. Gregory
Why it ranks ninth
Bradley A. Gregory's office earns a 4.6 rating from 20 reviews for a patient, unhurried process through bankruptcy and debt cases, with clients repeatedly noting clear explanations. One dissatisfied client's experience with a delayed refund is worth weighing against the mostly smooth track record.
Pros
- Patient, detailed explanations of the process
- Responsive communication throughout the case
- Smooth, low-stress experience for most clients
Watch out: One client reported a case dropped after payment, with a promised refund delayed weeks.
Services: bankruptcy chapter 7 13, free consultation, debt collection defense, loan modification loss mitigation

Martin N. Howe Attorney at Law
Why it ranks tenth
Martin N. Howe has practiced since 1994 and holds a perfect 5.0 rating, though it's built on just 8 reviews so treat it as a promising but limited sample. Reviewers specifically call out his willingness to refund fees when a case wraps up faster than expected.
Pros
- Honest fee practices, including refunds for unused work
- Established practice dating back to 1994
Watch out: Review count is small, so confidence in the score is limited.
Services: loan modification loss mitigation, real estate title issues, legal services, foreclosure service

G. Allen Lidy, Attorney at Law
Why it ranks #11
Allen Lidy brings over a decade of practice to serious criminal and civil cases, with a 4.0 rating across 18 reviews. Clients describe him as fast, competent, and direct about case prospects, with some client relationships spanning 12-plus years.
Pros
- Experienced litigator with long-standing client relationships
- Fast turnaround on responses and service
- Direct, honest counsel about case prospects
Watch out: At least one reviewer noted slower communication at times.
Services: loan modification loss mitigation, legal services, foreclosure service

Heather L. George Myers, Attorney at Law
Why it ranks #12
Heather L. George Myers draws a 4.0 rating from 21 reviews with genuinely mixed sentiment: strong advocates report case wins and attentive service, while others describe missed calls and scheduling errors. Worth a look if you need a courtroom fighter, but go in with clear expectations on communication.
Pros
- Courtroom advocacy with reported case wins
- Detailed case preparation
- Willing to work beyond the standard scope for some clients
Watch out: Multiple reviewers report missed calls, scheduling errors, and inconsistent follow-up.
Services: loan modification loss mitigation, free consultation, legal services, real estate title issues

Price Law Office, LLC
Why it ranks #13
Price Law Office shows a single five-star review so far, which isn't enough volume to draw firm conclusions about consistency. It's included here for completeness among Greenwood's legal service providers, but should be treated as a low-confidence pick until more reviews come in.
Pros
- Earned a five-star rating from its first reviewer
- Listed as a legal service provider in Greenwood
Watch out: Only one review on record, so there isn't enough evidence yet to judge consistency.
Services: legal services, loan modification loss mitigation, real estate title issues

Scott Smith - Keller Williams IndyMetroHomes
Why it ranks #14
Scott Smith's Keller Williams team specifically works Indianapolis-area foreclosure properties and residential sales, with a 3.8 rating from 5 reviews. Most feedback praises quick, low-stress sales, though the review count is small enough to weigh the score cautiously.
Pros
- Direct experience with foreclosure property sales
- Quick sales turnaround
Watch out: One older review flagged resistance to client input during the process.
Services: foreclosure service

R Lee Money Law
Why it ranks #15
R Lee Money Law shows a genuinely split record: a 3.6 rating from 25 reviews reflects long-standing clients who value his direct advice and friendly staff, against more recent reviewers who describe minimal courtroom effort once a case gets underway. Useful for an initial consult, but weigh the follow-through concerns before committing to representation.
Pros
- Direct, honest initial consultation
- Compassionate, warm office staff
- Long-established local practice
Watch out: Several recent reviewers report minimal courtroom effort and follow-through once cases proceed.
Services: loan modification loss mitigation, foreclosure defense litigation, free consultation, legal services
