Efficent and comppasionate

The most difficult decision I have ever made was filing for bankruptcy. I was overwhelmed with guilt and shame. I was also dealing with very aggressive ( and unscrupulous collectors). David was very gentle and explained my options. He allowed ME to make the decision. What turned the tide for me was w...hen we reviewed the debt and my payments over 25 years which showed I had paid the original debt 4 times over and was still no closer to paying down the principal. I also came to find out that personal financial debt and the stress that goes with it is one of the best kept secrets with families. No one wants to talk about their debt (guilt and shame). I am a good man who made some poor financial decisions that were going to ruin any chance of a reasonable retirement. David (and his staff) treated me with dignity and respect. They walked me through every step of the process and took my calls when I had questions or concerns (there were many). It has been almost two years since my bankruptcy. Since then I have not incurred ANY debt, do not have or want credit cards, have been contributing to my retirement plan, have a small savings and this year stayed within my budget with a small surplus as of years end yesterday. What a relief. This review is long overdue and I wanted to tie up loose ends going into the new year. While filing bankruptcy is a mechanical, cold, unfeeling process David and his staff understood and supported me personally with the sometimes overwhelming feelings I had around this decision. A tip of the cap and a word of thanks to David and his staff.

Simply the best!

I would recommend Waltzer Law Group to anyone not only are they very professional they are also patient, caring and loyal to their clients. Being a procrastinator (my biggest flaw) it took me a very long time to finally go ahead with the bankruptcy but lucky for me they never gave up on me. They wer...e there to listen to my concerns as a friend would and never pressuring me into claiming bankruptcy instead giving advice to me a single mother, they knew my situation and they understood me, understood my fears and my concerns. They are well worth the money I wish I would have had the guts to claim bankruptcy sooner but I am beyond grateful that they were patient enough with me and never gave up on my case as I was constantly procrastinating (nerves and fear will do that to you) . I have no regrets (besides not doing this sooner). Words can not express the sense of relief I feel now. My phone lines are no longer ringing at all times of the day my mailbox is not full of collections....again words can not express what I feel. I will say I am beyond grateful beyond relieved and ready for my new beginnings with no debt. The staff, the attorneys are simply the best I could not have not made a better choice. Thanks to my friends over at Waltzer Law Group.

Waltzer Law For Great Bankruptcy Service

I highly recommend this firm for anyone looking into bankruptcy. From the beginning, they were kind, thorough and knowledgeable. They made an otherwise tough experience very manageable. All the encounters I had with each staff member was a positive one. The fees are affordable as well. I wish I knew ...about them prior to the garnishing of my paychecks and the situation that I had dug myself into.

David was fantastic. I didnt know Lawyers like this existed.

When I came to Waltzer Law Group, I was at the point of depression about my debts and aggressive creditors. David did a fantastic job on my case. When we went to court other people had to go back again because their papers were not filled out correctly. My case sailed through in 3 minutes. I was in... shock. But the best part is that David took ALL my calls. Even sometimes after 8PM. He really cared about my experience and my case. I thought lawyers only cared about money, but he really went the extra mile. I strongly recommend David and his law office to anyone. In fact, I have sent several people to him already and they also love him. If you get David Waltzer, you are truly lucky.
