Attorney William Rountree

I am so happy that I hired Attorney William Rountree for my Chapter 7. He and his firm came highly recommended by another attorney. William and his staff were so welcoming, professional and attentive. I must admit that I was scared to death through the entire process but William made me feel at ea...se and even optimistic. My circumstances were very different, but William went through them with a fine-tooth comb and told me exactly what to do. He coached me every step of the way. And what a gem he has found in his Legal Assistant, Sharon. She is so organized, efficient, friendly, and encouraging. She kept me apprised of their progress, let me know if they needed any more documents, and kept track of my billing among many other things. I also really appreciated how quickly they responded to emails and phone calls. As a team, I know that they worked so hard for me, and I am forever grateful.

Very pleased with Will and his team

Will quickly assessed my situation and knew exactly how to handle it. He is clearly very experienced and has an intimate knowledge of the ins and outs of the bankruptcy process. His predictions about how things would transpire with my case were dead on. The result couldn’t have been any better. I hig...hly recommend him.

Not Your Normal Lawyer

From the very beginning, Will helped me answer questions even prior to filing. He has a way of easing your mind about the process and is very familiar with the courts and judges as well. I highly recommend Will for anyone seeking Bankruptcy protection. You will not be disappointed. He and his team g...o above and beyond.

I would highly recommend Will Rountree

Will is very professional and knows the bankruptcy laws very well. He takes the time to walk you thru every step of the process. His staff is also excellent and will keep you informed of your case as it moves forward. Again, I would highly recommend Will and his team . They will handle your case fro...m cradle to grave with ease.

Miracle Worker!

It was such a relief that during such a traumatic time in our lives, we had someone like Will to guide us through our bankruptcy process. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, non-judgmental, methodical, and relational. We call Will a miracle worker because when our bank account was frozen, ...and then subsequently emptied, he was somehow able to get the freeze lifted and the funds back for us! We interviewed several attorneys prior to hiring Will and when we described this situation, they made it very clear that there'd be no way to get our money back. When meeting with Will, he was careful not to over-promise but was cautiously optimistic that something could be done. Little did we know that he would get us every penny back. Words cannot describe how grateful we are to have had him working on our behalf. Thank you Will for not only advising us so excellently and ensuring a smooth process, but for also giving us hope and confidence during one of our darkest times.
