An Unexpected Result

I had an 'old' issue' with a bank that I thought was over and done with a few years back. I recieved a phone call from them regarding monies I supposedly owed them. They offered me a settlement that I wasn't comfortable with and I was not comfortable contacting and negotiating with them myself. I ...knew I needed the advice of an attorney and started looking. I read reviews, ratings, and inquired about attorneys in my area. This led me to calling Mr. Rolsma. I explained my situation, and he said up front that this was not necessarily his area of law, but agreed to talk with me and, if he couldn't help he may be able to recommend someone who could. That was important to me! I met with him, showed him my papers, explained my side of this situation, and sat and talked. When I asked what he thought I should do he said to my surprise, 'Lets call them'. He did, and after about 20 minutes on the phone with the bank, the bank dropped the debt, and I left thinking 'what just happened'? I believe I would not have gotten this result without Mr. Rolsma's guidance and expertise, as we sat there on the phone with the bank representative. This was a big turning point in my financial life, and I will be forever grateful for his patience, and guidance through this.

Excellent Lawyer

I never thought I would ever be in the need for a lawyer, let alone for bankruptcy, but life happens. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer than Carl. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He explained things in easy terms and made what could have been a very stressful and complicated proce...ss, into a virtually stress free process. He is kind and patient – qualities needed when dealing with clients in desperate need. I highly recommend his services.

Very helpful

My case was not specific to Carl's specialty however he handled it very well and was very understanding of our situation. Never talked down to us. He clearly explained the processes and expectations of the court.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
