Highly Recommend

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My attorney was a lifesaver! Attorney David Falvey expertly guided me out of a tough spot with genuine care and dedication. Couldn’t have asked for better. His national attention for his knowledge in this space is well-deserved. Highly recommended!

Strong Morals and Values!!! Very Knowledgeable!!!

I was referred to Attorney Falvey by a close friend and am very happy that I decided to hire him and his firm. After going through a horrible, drawn out divorce, I had no other option but to consider filing for bankruptcy. Dave was very compassionate and understanding. He rested my mind at ease and r...eassured me that I was making the right decision. I knew I was in good hands after our first initial consultation. He provided detailed answers to every single question that I had. Attorney Dave Falvey is a blessing and cares about his clients. He is extremely knowledgeable in his area of practice and is in my opinion, one of the best!!!!

Two professionals rave about David Falvey

We were very happy with David and his staff. They were extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of bankruptcy law, and if there were any issues in question, would seek the answers immediately. They were always responsive to telephone calls, scheduled appointments as quickly as possible, and made t...he entire unpleasant situation as pleasant as possible. He teaches his clients the right way to go about rebuilding good credit through a set of instructional cd's he's made, and keeps in touch with them offering current useful information through an email newsletter. We have the highest respect for David Falvey and his excellent staff.

HALLELUJAH!! I found a good Bankruptcy to Attorney

Attorney Dave Falvey is certainly the ‘go to’ attorney for bankruptcy in New London County. I was over the median income and owed over $200,000 in credit card debt. With great patience and determination, Dave carefully gathered my information and he ‘beat’ the Means Test. He referred me to an at...torney who handles harassing phone call cases because I was being harassed to tears. Well, what was the result? I discharged over $200,000 worth of credit card debt and received a settlement of over $5,000 from a harassing creditor who wouldn't stop calling me and I kept all the settlement money because Dave was able to exempt it from the creditors. I discharged all my debts and made a ‘profit’. Further, Dave has given me wonderful materials that he has developed to restore my credit score within 12-24 months post-bankruptcy! And his program that is called, ‘The Pennywatchers’ which challenges youto continue to pay on the debt but you pay yourself and to save all the money that you discharged. I was so depressed before going to see Dave (I had heard from everyone in Connecticut that he was good) but I had to drag myself to his office in Groton, Connecticut. Thank God!! How do I rate him? 5 Stars, Plus! I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, ethical and fair in his dealings with me and Dave and his office staff in didn’t make me feel like a loser but as someone who was about to succeed. And, indeed, I have completely turned my life around. I went to see Attorney Dave Falvey and I now I say Hallelujah! I have put my depression behind me and I feel good about myself. “Here Comes the Sun” And I say: HALLELUJAH!!
