6 Stars!

I hired George Lutz 9 years ago to help file bankruptcy. The bankruptcy went smoothly and efficiently. George was always a phone call away and always available. Today ,nine years later, I needed his assistance desperately because during a title search, multiple judgments came up that were part of ...my bankruptcy. I couldn't remember his name because it was so long ago, but I found a letter that he mailed me with the discharge of debtor. So I called him and asked him what I should do. Not only did he give me his time, he gave me clarification on my situation, common errors made by title search companies as well as Pennsylvania State Laws on liens, real-estate and spouses. He even went as far as composing a letter to me stating the judgements were part of my bankruptcy and PA laws about judgements, liens, property and spouses. He went over and above. Amazing 9 years later! This was all done with a phone call that lasted 15 minutes and receiving the email 10 minutes later. Thank you George! 6 stars!!!
