Top Notch Attorney

I consulted and subsequently hired Timothy Pletter to handle a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing. As a single Mother without the benefit of the support of an extended family, I found Tim’s kind, empathetic demeanor to be invaluable in my case. It was such a difficult time for me which he made so much eas...ier. He is an extremely professional, experienced, attorney. I would not hesitate to recommend this man to anyone in need of sage advice and legal representation in a bankruptcy filing.

Tim got us through the most difficult decision of our lives!

It was a delight and pleasure working with Timothy Pletter during one of the most difficult times in our lives. My wife and I found ourselves against the wall with our bills and felt we needed professional help and a better understanding of what to do base on our financial situation and struggles. Th...is prompted us to seek professional help and advice. It was a breath of fresh air working with Tim, as he counseled and advised us of the realities of bankruptcy and the best approach to resolving our situation. The experience wasn’t as painful as one could imagine, and with his guidance and hard work from our side; we survived through it all with 100% satisfaction and the relief of knowing that we can now move forward. Thanks to the help and support from the Ambrogio, Pletter & Associates; we are now in a better place and can breathe a lot easier as we rebuild for a better tomorrow…

Professional Service

I used Attorney Tim Pletter for my bankruptcy. He was extremely professional and helpful in a difficult time.

Amazing Attorney: Look No Further

I am beyond thankful that Tim Pletter was referred to me. I was going through lots of personal issues, including a divorce, and was put in a position where I needed to file for Chapter 7. Throughout the entire process, I found Tim to be extremely knowledgeable and exceptionally responsive to all i...ssues concerning my bankruptcy. This included the "means" test, prepping me for how to prepare for my meeting with the Trustee, all aspects of properties that I would relinquish, all assets that I would keep, my car, etc. He handled everything and I never for one second felt that I was on my own or that I was in the wrong hands. In the end, my discharge came only three months after initially filing. He held true to his word and I now have a new lease on life as a result. His slogan of "there is light at the end of the tunnel" is spot on. And for me, today, the sun is shining bright. Thanks, Tim.

What a pleasure!

Attorney Pletter and his staff were an absolute pleasure to work with! He clearly explained the process and how he could help me during our initial meeting, then walked me through the steps of the bankruptcy process. His staff was extremely friendly and helpful with every step along the way. I was ne...ver made to feel like I had somehow failed by having to file for bankruptcy, actually it was quite the opposite, I discovered ways it could work to my benefit. I would highly recommend Attorney Pletter to anyone facing a similar situation.
