Being set free from Debt

I really appreciate all the help and sincerity that Mr. Heath Burger provided for me, he set me free from all my debt that I was stuck in . For years it depressed me and weighed me down, now Im set free from all of it. I can experience true peace and happiness, a huge burden has been lifted, and... now I can finally move forward with my life. Thank you Heath, and thank you Jesus.

Bankruptcy!!

Highly recommend! Heath went to bat for me when an otherwise typical bankruptcy took an unexpected turn. Heath stood up for me and continued to fight and defend me, 5 years after I started my bankruptcy. He never wavered and went above and beyond what would be expected under the circumstances. A posi...tive outcome was garnered only because of his hard work and diligence,

We just received our order of discharge in the mail yesterday. I can't thank Heath Berger enough for his knowledge, professionalism, compassion and perseverance through this process. It was a difficult step in our lives - one that that Heath made bareable!

Heath S Berger saved my financial life!

I had bought into a business that promised me $100,000.00 worth of credit that never materialized, causing me to go from about $8K in debt, to close to $30K in debt. This caused my FICO score to go from 802 to under 600. I could not handle the payments, thereby, forcing me to file for bankruptcy, usi...ng Attorney Heath S Berger. We saw a judge on 12/07/17. Mr Berger then told me that the creditors were allowed 60 days to dispute my case, & if all went well, the discharge would be filed 30 days later. This 90 day projection would end about the beginning of March, 2018. At the beginning of February, 2018, I was presently surprised to receive a letter from Mr Berger, stating that my discharge was already filed, 30 days sooner than what was projected to me. Mr Berger's firm is now my go to firm for anytime that I may need an attorney, even if it is only for a referral. I am now able to start my life fresh! Thanx much Heath Berger.
