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.

My Experience

As a woman with goals and dreams I knew I had to do something to help myself with my credit card debt. I have been through debt before where I was able to take out loans to pay it off, but now those loans have caught up to me. One day I was speaking to a friend and she had told me about all of her de...bts and referred me to David Waltzer. This was about 2 years ago. I wrote down my numbers and realized I was in some serious debt and needed help. I contacted Waltzer Law and I an was very helpful. I got consultation and a fee. This seemed like the right step for me. I just had to work up the courage to go through with it. I spoke to my family and as one we decided this was the right choice for me. I am very happy with the decision I made. Everyone at Waltzer Law was very helpful and always reassured me that everything was going to be okay. I was very nervous as my hearing date approached, but again they reassured me it was going to be fine. When I received my notice of discharge in the mail I felt like I was given a second chance in life! Thank you so much for all your help Waltzer Law!

My bankruptcy experience

As a young woman with goals and dreams I knew I had to do something to help myself. My first step was getting my credit to where it needed to be. One day as I was home not doing anything I decided to look up bankruptcy. This was a few months ago so I can't remember the specific details but I came ac...ross a website that gave me a few different attorney office I remember putting in my phone number and someone called me right away from David Waltzer office. I got consultation and I asked the fee and told them I would be in contact with them. For about a few days I went back and forth with myself and finally decided to just do it and get it over with. I am happy that I made that decision. From day one every single person that I spoke to and dealt with on a one and one basic was so helpful. They were reliable,always got information to me in a timely manor and most importantly they were honest. I was so scared when it was close to doing my hearing I thought the outcome would be bad and I reached out to one of the attorneys to express my concerns and she reassured me that I would be fine. Everything turned out great and I have no regrets. I am debt free and happy because I feel like a new person and I am starting a new life and this time I know I will make all the right decisions.

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.

an excellent attorney in the time of need

Ian, Kateryna, and David are the group of attorneys that gave me back my life. Before I seeked help I was almost in tears with bills adding up and not enough money on hand to pay a good monthly payment without incurring too much interest,. Unfortunately for me I woke up crying and asking myself wh...at did I do with my life and how could I ever have let it get this far.My credit used to be 800. I could literally have anything I wanted and I did but I paid a very big price. I had no choice other than to seek help. One morning before I went to work I googled bankruptcy lawyers in dutchess county. I finally found a website related to bankruptcy and I submitted my information hoping that someone would reach out to help me. About an hour went by and I received a call from this gengleman named Ian F Atkins. He was the lawyer who would eventually taking my case. Ian explained the whole process to me and said don't worry we will get through this. After a few conversations I like what I heard so I accepted him as my lawyer. The whole process must have taken no more than a month and a half. Next thing you know I received a letter from waltzer law group stating I had an appointment for my hearing. I won't Lie and say I wasn't worried about the process because I was, Fortunately for me Waltzer Law Group walked me through the whole process making filing bankruptcy a breeze. I would like let everyone who r reads this that I only write things that are true. If you find yourself in a credit crunch or bills are just getting out of hand don't worry..The Waltzer Law Group is right their to help you and assist you with any questions or concerns that you might have.
