Michael James Wink’s Reviews

Mike saved us our home, we now have a savings plan (we are contributing 5%-10% of our income monthly towards each of our 401K retirement -- that was impossible before meeting with Mike Wink), our direct monthly out of pocket costs have dropped significantly, we were able to get the second mortgage removed (so we will likely a ton of have equity in 5 years - hopefully if the market continues on it's current path). So professesional and truly effective & empathetic.

Michael was impressive in the beginning but that was all. I discovered he was making me do a lot of the work myself yet charging me a very exuberant fee. He would email me to tell me he would be calling on a certain day and time and never follow through. I would call him the next day and there was always some lame excuse as to why he missed calling me AND he would charge me for MY call. Obviously MY time is not valuable but his is. Both he and his paralegal would screw up documents and I would point out the errors and AGAIN I was charged for the screw up time, my calling to point it out, and the time to it took them to fix it. In the end, Michael ended up charging me close to $10, 000 in attorney fees and my Chapter 13 monthly payments are actually higher than what I was paying out to creditors before the filing. I don't dare call him or email him any more for fear he will tack on more money to the bottom $ figure of my bankruptcy. So any thing that comes up, I once again have to handle on my own.

tremendous help with my nonstop confusing case... past business dealings made my case a little complex to begin with. Wink and Wink got the best possible outcome for my circumstance!!!

As a person who has an impatient personality, it was so refreshing to have an attorney that answers emails quickly and pretty much answered the phone every single time I made a call. Bankruptcy is not an easy decision, but I felt I had an attorney who was genuinely on my side. Mike handled my case efficiently and I couldn’t have asked for better service. Thank you Wink and Wink!!

Mike not only expertly solved some complex aspects of my bankruptcy, he and his firm provided every kind of support I needed to get through bankruptcy. I only wish I had sought his counsel sooner. I felt guilty and defeated by my financial problems. Wink & Wink listened and more importantly showed me how to act and take control again. Throughout the entire process they were responsive, professional, and unfailingly courteous.

Have my second meeting with Mike this coming week; very nervous but to date, Mike has been very informative, responsive and fair. Will review after all papers filed to see what my opinion is after submittal. So far though, very impressed!!!

Michael was totally awesome. He charged me exactly what he told me and never tried to invoice for more money. My BK was a very difficult job because we had to close my company, open up a new company and discharge all me debt all at the same time. Michael was always available when I had questions and his staff was unbelievably nice to me. I really appreciate Michael's help through this whole process.

I had spoken with other attorneys prior to contracting with Mike Wink, and choosing him was definitely one of my better financial decisions.

My bankruptcy was not straightforward. I was filing for a personal bankruptcy, but also had two businesses, one of which was going under. Mike was the only attorney I spoke with that understood how a bankruptcy would affect my LLC businesses, and vice versa. He helped to wind down one of the businesses prior to filing, and he advised me on the best way to manage the finances of my other business so that I would fly under the radar. And, he didn't charge extra for dealing with business creditors!

Because of Mike's advice on waiting a few months to collect receivables before filing, we saved thousands of dollars. He also provided sound advice on the benefits of Chapter 7 vs Chapter 13, and we sailed through everything.

I especially like the blog on his website. It is very educational, regardless of whether you are in financial trouble.

I would highly recommend Mike Wink to anyone who is considering a bankruptcy. He took us through a difficult process making it much easier than what we expected. He always answered all of our questions and gave us complete knowledge of the steps and the process. He accommodated our schedule for meetings. He is very knowledgeable and we felt gave 100% to our case. We had complete confidence in him.

Mike Wink is great to work with. The free review session he offers is very helpful when making that final decision to file bankruptcy. He walks you through everything and all questions are answered, even if asked the same question several times. He was great during the court appointment. He stepped in if I didn't understand what the court attorney was asking. It was a very smooth process.

Mike and his wife, Gigi, were absolutely fantastic in helping me through a difficult chapter 13 filing. They were able to put my mind at ease through the process, and were willing to fight tough battles to make sure the debtors left me alone. Mike was honest, forthright, and quick when it came to answering my questions, filing my case, and returning my many e-mails. I am so glad that when I finally decided to file for bankruptcy I chose Wink and Wink as my attorneys.

Michael was very helpful in this very difficult and confusing process. When I would get myself stressed out he would alway provide calming answers and reassurance. I feel very fortunate to have had him as my lawyer for this process.

Mike Wink did an outstanding job in providing legal services for our Chapter 13 Banktruptcy. There were some issues with regard to unemployment benefits my husband had been receiving, but Mike was able to address and resolve them with the court. He was able to schedule meetings around my work hours. Mike was extremely responsive to all the phone calls and e-mails we sent him. He thoroughly explained the bankruptcy procedure and spent extra time making sure we understood everything before we executed the documents that were filed with the court. We highly recommend his legal services to anyone filing bankruptcy.

Mike and his wife Gailyn are 2 of the most professional people I have worked with. They are always looking out for our best interest.

Michael and Gailyn were wonderful! Took a lot of the stress off our shoulders and provided us with excellent advice. So glad we found them to help us with our financial situation and ultimately to help us decide on which chapter for bankruptcy was the best fit for us. They were always well organized and very knowledgeable. They responded very quickly to any of our questions and concerns and were wonderful at handling all of our debtors so that we did not have to stress about any of it. They made the process so much easier knowing that we could trust them to handle it all. I would recommend them to anyone struggling with debt, foreclosure and possible bankruptcy issues.

We had a fairly complicated Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Mike was willing to spend significant time with us as we sorted through the various aspects of our case. He always advised us of potential pitfalls, communicated clearly and regularly and was very detailed.

Mike responded quickly to our questions and explained the process thoroughly. He went above and beyond on a couple of issues that popped up unexpectedly and resolved those issues quickly and painlessly.

I have nothing but praise for Mike as he went well beyond my expectations. He looked at my case and guided me to best possible outcome. Filing for bankruptcy can be a daunting proposition, but Mike was able to break down the process into clear, concise steps and always communicated what had happened, what was currently happening, and what was to come. I also felt he took a personal interest by exploring different possible ways to handle my case and seemed to genuinely want the best outcome for me. He was always accessible and was quick to respond to phone calls and emails personally. I definitely recommend Mike Wink for bankruptcy representation.

Working with Michael Wink was very satisfying and well worth his fee. From the beginning he followed up with great communication, and thorough explanation of all the legal processes he would be handling for us. He was very accomodating with our work schedules and handled all our affairs in a very professional and courteous manner. If we were ever asked by anyone for a good attorney for financial issues, we would reccomend him without reservation.
