Coverage
Large discrepancy: historical secondary reporting described nationwide coverage, including all 50 states, whereas the authoritative U.S. Trustee materials document Montana operations through July 2018 and a six-year prohibition on representing Montana bankruptcy clients. A separate federal order revoked the firm’s ability to file or conduct cases in the Western District of Virginia for five years. No authoritative current state-by-state coverage list was located. [1][5][6]
Accreditation & Licensing
BBB’s UpRight Law profile states that the business is not BBB accredited and is not rated because BBB information indicates it is out of business. No separate current Deighan Law BBB profile or multiple active office profiles were located within the source limit. [4]
