Excellent Lawyer

Heath Berger is an excellent lawyer he has helped us get thru a very hard time. He is very professional, reliable and competitent. He took our case on and helped us win in a timely fashion and without too much stress. Even after our case was closed, he is still willing to answer any and all questions... we have for no additional fees. I have delt with other attorneys in my past and they were not nearly as cordial, reliable or caring as Heath Berger is! I would recommend him to anyone ! : )

Posted by david | December 05, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Pride in Bankruptcy

At 54 years old it is hard to imagine the feeling of having to file chapter 7. Besides embarrassment, FEAR. How will I be perceived? Will I ever be able to buy a home or even lease a car in my own name. My attorney, Heath Berger, not only put my mind at ease, but explained in great detail, as many... times as I needed, the process. That my life, as far as creditor and lender, will become a clean slate! Imagine not getting anymore calls from collection agencies, Imagine your mail box filled with mail of from companies that want to sell TO you rather than people looking to take money FROM you! His patience is without comparison. As he realizes this is a sensitive issue, Heath goes overboard for his clients so can we spend more time absorbing the situation. He is also makes you feel that he is honored to help you as he believes whole heartedly in the process. After all is said and done. DO NOT LET YOUR DEBTS SCARE YOU..Heath Berger is a great option. Take a deep breath, and call Heath

Chapter 7 bankruptcy

Heath Berger recently handled our chapter 7 bankruptcy. His knowledge is impeccable and with his guidance we are again financially secure. Heath was patient and answered all our questions while thoroughly explaining each step in our bankruptcy. He was always available to answer our calls and his staf...f was a pleasure to deal with. We would highly recommend Heath Berger to anyone who is contemplating bankruptcy.

Great Attorney!

I was referred to Mr. Berger by a friend. Contacting Mr. Berger was the best decision I have made. He was very knowledgeable and kept me well informed of the progress of the case. He made the entire process much less stressful. He really listened and understood what I wanted. Mr. Berger was able... to get me the best settlement that I could have ever hoped for. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is in need of an attorney for any family court matters.
