Honest, Upfront, Experienced

My wife and I had an excellent experience with Mr. Kingsbury handling our bankruptcy case. The initial consultation was very easy and informative. We had all of our initial questions answered in less than 2 hours and knew what to expect and when we needed to have everything together to progress the c...ase. He even brought up something that I had no idea could and was going to happen that saved us another $5,000. We had a vehicle that we were going to reaffirm the loan on and keep, however we also had a credit card that were were including in the case from the same lender and he mentioned there usually is a clause that states the lender will move your debt from the credit card to the vehicle if you decide to keep it. Most inexperienced lawyers wouldn't even think to bring that up unless you say something first but who honestly knows there vehicle purchase terms inside and out like that, I had no idea what cross-collateralization was. He is very experienced and upfront in telling you what needs to be done, what you shouldnt do, what to expect, how much it will cost, timelines, ect. Great service, I hope we never have to file again, but if we did, we would be back and we will definately refer him to anyone we know that can benefit from this service. Thanks so much!

Thanks for such a nice and lengthy review. Yes, there are a lot of traps for the unwary out there. Inexperienced lawyers can cost folks a lot of money if they don't spot the issues. I'm glad you were happy with me handling your case. Appreciate you and your wife as clients.

Definitely Recommend

Was recommended by another lawyer. David helped us file Ch. 7 and 13 bankruptcy. We sat in court waiting to meet with the trustee and saw first hand how other people and lawyers seemed unprepared and seem to struggle with the trustee's question's. Our meeting with the trustee went smooth which I a...ttribute to having David giving us proper guidance and direction. I met with other bankruptcy lawyers, but David is the one I used for filing and would recommend him.

Thank you Jeff. I get a lot of people referred over from other attorneys...referrals are a big part of my business. Being prepared and having the paperwork done right is something I learned very early in my practice was of primary importance. People pay me good money to represent then and doing a good job for them is #1 on my list.

Helped me through a difficult time

I was apprehensive about beginning and completing the process of filing for bankruptcy. From the first consultation until the final meeting with the trustee and the weeks following, David and Cathy made me feel like I was in good hands. David is intelligent, professional and understanding and I wou...ld absolutely recommend him to a friend or family member.

A true professional

David and his team are very thorough. They collected every last bit of information from me, which seemed quite daunting as I prepared to file. When we went to my meeting of creditors, it became very clear why they have developed their process. I watched several other cases before mine that stumbled t...hrough questions they had no answer for, and one that had to reschedule because the person did not have documentation that I was advised to bring. My meeting was a series of yes & no answers and then it was over. I would highly recommend the Kingsbury Law Office to file your bankruptcy.

Hi John....yes. I'm really thorough for a reason as you say. I've been doing bankruptcy cases for close to 30 years now and I know what they are going to need. Best to be prepared. Frankly, 99% of how these cases go really depend on how good a job was done in putting the petition together and knowing what the trustee is going to require. If it is done right...smooth sailing. Thanks for being a client and I'm glad that you were happy with my representing you.

Posted by Jim | September 20, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy - Chapter 7

I hired Dave for both Business and Personal Chapter 7 bankruptcy processing. He did not hand me off to someone else in his office which made more confident that the process would get down correctly. Which he was well prepared for both hearings and got me through them with what I believe the best way ...considering what I was going through. I think anybody would be happy with his work!
