Tom Hensel JR.

It have been a very positive experience working with Tom. He help me understand each step of the process and explain every question I had. He always returned my calls in a timely matter. He was all way patient with regarding my concerns.

Posted by M | June 28, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

T

We just finished with our chapter 13 in which Tom had spent a lot of time throughout the case in keeping our payment at a reasonable amount due to the fact that my income amount had changed a few times (great job Tom) and even at the end our mortgage company had raised our payment for no justifiable ...reason , and again Tom found resolution for us in this matter. Thanks tom we appreciate all the extra you did for us

Bankruptcy

Started looking for bankruptcy lawyers last year but was really unsure about it, the whole process was a little scary for me. I looked around for awhile and no one stuck out like Tom did. As soon as I emailed him I got a response back immediately. He made the whole process so smooth and easy. Any t...ime I had any question he would get back to me within 24 hours, usually it was within hours. He always made sure I knew what I needed and helped me if I had any problems getting it. He's definitely someone that I would refer to go to.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer. I have known Tom Hensel for 13 years both personally and professionally. Tom and I worked together in the same firm for over 3 years. He is honest, friendly and hardworking. He shows great attention to detail but never loses sight of the bigger picture. His knowledge of the law is exceptional and is only exceeded by his dedication to his clients. Mr. Hensel is highly respected by his peers, his adversaries, the Bankruptcy Trustees, Bankruptcy Court staff and the Judiciary. Because of this, he is able to achieve great results in less time, saving his clients money and grief. When I have to refer a bankruptcy client, I refer them to Mr. Hensel."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
