Would reccomend to EVERYONE

We had a very complex Bankruptcy case, which Walter personally handled. he led us through each step, one by one, and made the process as painless as possible. Great communication and service.

Top notch service at a great price

Walter provided us great service, good communication and didn't break the bank. We were definitely comfortable with his style and personality. He explained everything thoroughly and I never felt we were being over-charged for his service. He continually provided me with legal counsel 8 years after... our BK to help us with our mortgage, free of charge. Great attorney, great person. Thanks Walter!

Posted by Arthur Choulagh | November 01, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Greatest Lawyer Ever

I had an open case(chapter 7). I hired a different lawyer which worked for me for about 5 months. Everything just went from bad to worse. I was going to lose my house. I was stressed, sleep deprived, and almost lost my job too because of all the problems occurring. I searched and talked to many diff...erent lawyers and all of them were too scared to handle the case. So finally I just decided to search up "best lawyers in Michigan" and Walter Metzen showed up with great ratings and astounding reviews. He had meetings with me and learned everything about the case down to the smallest detail before he was even hired. Once I hired him, the case was over quickly and I was granted the discharge. He saved my life, my family, and my house. I am very pleased with his services and his staff was also very excellent. I would highly recommend lawyer Walter Metzen to anyone who needs a lawyer. Thank you for helping me with my case. Arthur
