FANTASTIC Attorney!

Tim is the best. He was pleasurable to work with, super fast, thorough, professional, and highly knowledgeable. I’d recommend him to others without hesitation!

Highly professional, dedicated, and caring attorney

I engaged Tim as my attorney for multiple personal financial matters also involving real estate. He handled all legal matters professionally, always discussed all viable options along with his recommended approach, and was very caring during difficult steps of the process. Not only did he represent m...e well during the proceedings and for all engaged services, but Tim showed his commitment to his clients as he helped me work through challenging real estate negotiation above and beyond the scope of our engagement. I would highly recommend anyone going through difficult financial times to reach out to Tim for his support getting through the process and his guidance making the right choices.

Satisfied Client

It was a pleasure working with Attorney Timother Pletter. It was a difficult decision even considering bankruptcy. Under the unfortunate circumstances I unexpectedly faced, it was evident that was my best option. From the initial consultation, Timothy was always professional, resourceful, and effi...cient. He answered any questions I had and replied promptly as well as his secretaries. Everyone was pleasant and easy to work with. They remained so until the final steps of the process. It's difficult to find the right attorney to represent you, whom you feel comfortable with in knowing they're doing what the absolute best is for you. I was more than happy with hiring him and pleased with everything he did for me. I'd highly recommend Attorney Pletter and would undoubtedly use him again if ever need be!

The Best

Attorney Pletter has to be one of the best bankruptcy Attorneys in Connecticut. I met him just by researching on the internet and beyond my expectation was so sincere, honest and very knowledgeable. I was going through a new phase in my life and needed some guidance and adjustment and he lead me in... the right direction and was very honest and discreet. He made this painful process less stressful for me. I cannot thank him and his staff enough.

They made the process very simple and stress free. I am now debt free and I am in a much better place in my life - this is all du...e to the help of Timothy and his team. Thank you
