The Law Firm of George Giddens began in 1997 as a solo practice with an emphasis on bankruptcy. Today, the firm has six lawyers on staff with a wide range of expertise in different practice areas. The firm now serves small business owners, bankers, consumers and individuals in the areas of bankruptcy, estate planning, business litigation and commercial real estate transactions. George Giddens, the owner of the firm, attributes the firm’s growth to his commitment to excellence in all aspects of the client experience. “When clients walk through our door, we take the time to explore their unique situation and come up with the best solution for them,” he says. “That sort of experience is not always the case especially when it comes to bankruptcy law because some firms offer cookie-cutter solutions that are not the best option for their clients.”
