After years of uncertainty and fear, everything was resolved in a matter of months

The idea of filing bankruptcy was very distressing. It is full of many emotions - fear, sense of failure, shame and regret. I had spent 2-3 years trying to work out a reasonable plan with the banks - with out success. I finally decided to meet with an attorney. I spent another 2 years in limbo a...nd uncertainty. Then I went along with a friend, for support, to her first meeting with Tim. The difference was quite astonishing. She met with Tim and not support staff. The information he provided in one meeting was more than I received in 2 years working with the other attorney. I knew I had to switch. At the other office, you felt as if it was a bother or inconvenient to answer questions. At times the staff was actually rude. Not so with Tim and his office. Questions were answered without condemnation. Everything was explained thoroughly. I was treated with respect. Things were done extremely promptly. I needed a means test done, I met with Tim and he went through it with me. He explained everything. Again I learned things that I hadn't been told by the other lawyer. At the other office, the means test had been done by the paralegal with no input from me and no explanation given. The difference was between success and failure. In general with the first lawyer, I never knew what was going on and I felt I couldn't ask any questions. If things didn't go right I was treated rudely and actually yelled at. When I switched to Tim, things went quickly and smoothly, and it was done in a few short months. I finally could move forward with my life. I have since called with questions and Tim generously answers then for me. I would highly recommend Tim Theisen.

I have my dignity back

After going through a bad divorce and the sale of my business, I was left with an enormous amount of debt. I dreaded going to the mail box as well as answering unknown phone numbers. I was embarrassed about my situation and did not know where to turn. I called a few different bankrutpcy lawyers an...d they all made me feel like a loser for the situation I was in. I saw Tim's website and decided to call. The other lawers I had called took hours, even days to get back to me. Tim called me back within the hour. He let me know that bad things happen to good people, and that there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Tim and his firm handled my bankruptcy from start to finish and treated me like a "person". With Tim's help and counsel I have raised my credit score over 200 points and I have my dignity back, as well as my financial future. If you are drowning in debt and feel like there is nothing you can do, call Tim Theisen. He gave me my future back, and he can do the same for you.
