A smooth and painless process

I was very hesitant to file bankruptcy but I found the process to be very smooth with Attorney Metzen. He is a true professional and excellent at his craft. Thank you for getting a great weight off of my shoulders. Janice

Bankruptcy Chapter 7

This is no hype. I was an actual client of Walter A Metzen. When I was experiencing my financial woes and debt over my head. I decided to file for bankruptcy. I search the internet for a bankruptcy attorney and to my surprise I came across Walter A. Metzen. I recall the first time I went to the law ...firm, the staff was so friendly. When I met with Attorney Metzen he did not treat me like a number. Mr. Metzen took time out to hear my concerns. He walked me through the whole bankruptcy process with ease. Unlike most lawyers he did not talk over my head but at a level that I understood. In March ,2016 I received my Bankruptcy Discharged Papers. Thanks to Walter A. Metzen Law firm I now have a new start on life. If you are looking for any bankruptcy attorney then keep searching the internet. But if you are looking for an attorney that will treat you like FAMILY then call Walter A Metzen (313)962_4656.

16 years later....

In 2000 I filed Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and didn't know what to expect but Mr Metzen put my mind at ease. 16 years later he's still helping his clients get a fresh start. I have a long road ahead of me

A Chapter 7 client

He gave me a guideline to follow with what I needed to proceed with filing my petition. Thanks to Attor...ney Metzen I am debt free and worry free
