Excellent Attorney

Heath Berger is a highly skilled and knowledgeable attorney. Heath is always willing and able to answer any and all questions/concerns. He then explains everything to you in terms that you can easily understand. His front office staff are the kindest and most compassionate people that we have ever... dealt with, willing to go the extra mile for clients. Heath not only assisted us with out bankruptcy, but also a closing on our parents home. Heath not only fights for his clients, but he truly cares about them.

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.

Bankruptcy Court Savviness

Imagine being outdoors on the worst upcoming winter storm day without the proper attire and being homeless. This is the metaphor you would feel like without legal representation in a bankruptcy courtroom. I was given the wrong advice to file chapter 7. After reaching out to Heath S. Berger; only th...en I received the correct consultation to file chapter 13. Heath examined my circumstance in detail. His preparation and attention to detail is the experience you will endure with him representing you in a courtroom!
