Nick Curtis Thompson

After ten years of marriage my wife called me on the phone one day to announce she was filing for divorce. I was shocked to say the least. In an effort to "be a man" and "do the right thing" I foolishly absorbed ALL of the debt and after the decimating blow of a foreclosure. I figured it was best for... the kids in the long run. I went to Nick Thompson's web-site upon the recommendation of a friend and was immediately struck by the informative nature of the site. Mr. Thompson could be a teacher of bankruptcy law, not simply a practitioner. I called his office and scheduled my free consultation. When I met with him I was discouraged and confused, not to mention embarrassed by the failure of my first marriage and my financial disarray. But he patiently listened to my story and encouraged me to have hope. After the first thirty minutes my heart felt lighter as he assured me none of this was the end of the world and that there was a proverbial "light at the end of the tunnel". As he advised me, he never once tried to "sell" me on filing bankruptcy, in fact, he discussed a number of options and encouraged me to do what was best in my situation. He took the time to explain to me how a bankruptcy would impact my credit and what steps I could take to rebuild it in the years that followed. He even directed me to some financing companies that specialize in helping folks like me quickly re-establish their standing. Filing was easy, I simply had to gather the required documents, enter my debts into a website program that was as simple as turbo tax and Mr. Thompson did the rest. He contacted me well in advance of my court date and reviewed the proceedings with me. He even made a personal call the day before the hearing to remind me to be there on time. Walking into a federal bankruptcy court was something I never dreamed I would need to do and it was something you cannot prepare yourself for; however, having Nick Thompson as my attorney absorbed 90% of my fears and he did prepare me when I couldn't prepare myself. When we met the judge (it was only the three of us at a small table!) his confidence masked my fears, as he did most of the talking for me. I had more than an attorney at my side, I had a true advocate. There were no surprises whatsoever, and everything went just as smooth as he said they would. In summary, I strongly recommend him as a bankruptcy attorney. He is knowledgeable, generous with his time, the process was simple, he was prepared on the day of my hearing and everything has worked out perfectly. I also would note that the cost of his services were quite comparable and the end result has saved me tens of thousands of dollars... well worth the cost of the bankruptcy!

Mr Thompson did a okay job. There were times I wish I would of read his book first then talked everything over. I would of loved to have help with the student loan. All my credit card debt was wiped out but there was still a lot of other debt. Overall he did a good job and I would recommend his offi...ce to others.

I hired Mr. Thompson because he said Chapter 7 wouldn't be a problem for me to apply for. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with his service and the outcome of my case. First, there wasn't problem for Chapter 7, then he said that I won't be able to go with 7, because of some issues, so I agreed for ...chapter 13, because he promised a low monthly pmnt. Then, after the bankruptcy was filled, he said that the pmnt will need to be increased (more than doubled). Although it was hard on me, I started paying the new, higher pmnt right away. I've never questioned his suggestions, I trusted that he knew what he's been doing and has my best interest in mind. After few months I learned by an accident, from another lawyer, that my bankruptcy has been dismiss more that a month ago. I was unpleasantly surprised, because I've never received any notification from his office about anything! They've been even rarely returning my calls when I leave a message. Also, I learned early on that they would not respond to my emails. Of course I've received letters from the trustee, but didn't pay much attention to them, because: 1st- I'm not familiar with any of law language terms or actions; 2nd- I expected that, if there is something important, I'll be notified by my lawyer. The last call I made was a couple weeks ago, when I learned about the dismissal. I talked to the secretary and asked her why I wasn't notified and what are my options now. She said she'll talk with Mr. Thompson and will call me back. That still hasn't happen!
