Excellent, trustworthy bankruptcy lawyer!

I turned to Mr. Metzen in desperation. I was at my wit's end and in financial chaos. He guided me through the web of chapter 7 bankruptcy filing and helped me to get my life back! His advice and recommendations were spot-on. I recommend Walter Metzen to anyone who is seriously considering taking this... monumental financial step. You can trust him to do what he says he will do.

Frest Start and on time

It has been a long time coming and I am happy to say that I was taken care of professionally by George J. George, my Attorney to file my Chapter 7. It was a much smoother process than I imagined. He worked with my new work schedule as I was training for a new position at work. So to add the convenien...ce of the downtown offices was a great advantage for me during my lunch breaks. Bankruptcy Discharge order came in the mail and I also received an email. Now that is personalized service. I have already recommended a number of clients and they were very pleased.

Very Pleased

I filed chapter 7 and had a difficult time with a particular creditor after the bankruptcy had been settled and Mr. Metzen and his office staff were very prompt in handling the issue and made my frustrations disappear. Everything was resolved and I am pleased with their service.

The Best

Walter Metzen was VERY HELPFUL with assisting me when I filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This was the second time I hired Walter Metzen as my Attorney. He also helped me when I filed over 8 years ago due to some bad financial issues involving credit card debt. And, this time was because of medical bi...lls. I have referred Mr. Metzen to friends, family, and co-workers and will continue to do so. When I have a question about a legal matter, I call him and he answers my questions or he takes the time to return my call. If you're looking for an Attorney, I RECOMMEND - Walter Metzen!
