Knowledge and Compassion Through A Difficult Time

Like most people, I never thought I would have to declare bankruptcy. Once I made the decision that bankrupty was my only choice, the process itself seemed confusing and frightening--adding stress to an already stressful financial situation. After interviewing a few attorneys, I chose to go with Tim ...Pletter to handle my case. Mr. Pletter made an unpleasant and at times frightening process as smooth as possible. He was patient, calm and kind from the first complimentary consultation to every phone call or meeting in between all the way to our "day in court." Unlike other attorneys I had consulted he was never condescending or did he seem to be rushing me out of the office, eager to get on to the next thing. Instead Mr. Pletter always maintained a calm and professional demeanor, carefully articulating details of the process at each stage. At no time did Mr. Pletter ever make me feel foolish for asking a question--even when I asked it over and again. Although I certainly hope that I don't have need to recommend bankruptcy services to anyone, should the need arise I would recommend Timothy Pletter wholeheartedly and without reservation.

Client

I hired Attorney Pletter to represent myself and my wife to alleviate our incredible backups in debts we could ill afford to pay within our anticipated lifetimes! He performed admirably and kept us informed about what needed to be done every step of the way, I would recommend him to anyone!

In gratitude

Tim Pletter was completely professional, However, while going through bankruptcy due to medical circumstances from Lyme Disease, He respectfully listened and demonstrated sensitivity and care to my plight. He and his team explained everything completely and made it happen, Still challenged with this ...chronic illness, It was a positive experience in an extremely challenging and emotional situation.

Professional, Honest, Respected

Tim Pletter is one of the most honest and respected lawyers I have come across. He is without doubt the lawyer I trusted most at my darkest moment. I had 5 different attorneys I was dealing with at the time from divorce, criminal, guardian ad litem, foreclosure/ short sale and business. I cannot ...thank him enough for the guidance and counsel he imparted upon me during this tumultuous time to lead the way through a personal bankruptcy. I would send, and have sent my most endeared to seek counsel with him. He is the best. Thank You Tim
