Posted by Lauretta | March 01, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Professional, knowledgeable and all around great attorney!

Awesome experience from beginning to end. I had an intimidating amount of IRS debt, and no idea how to handle it. The thought of taking on the IRS by myself gave me anxiety. I had spoken with a few “settle your tax debt for pennies on the dollar” people, and not only were they extremely expensive, I ...felt like they were over promising and being unrealistic (Aka pay us $4k and the IRS will accept a settlement of $250 even though you own property with equity - not realistic). Tim walked me through the entire process, and was confident and knowledgeable, and told me exactly not only what filing chapter 7 could do for my situation - but what it couldn’t do. I appreciated the honesty, and would refer him and his assistant, Amy, to anyone thinking about filing for bankruptcy.

Amazingly Helpful

I’ll try to keep this brief, but if anybody is looking to hire Tim Theisen, don’t hesitate. He helped me so much by answering every question I had, and I had a lot of them, and helped me through every step of the bankruptcy process. He made it easy for me, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more.... Thank you sir!

Amazing

I was very scared going into filing Chapter 7. I was referred by my cousin, who is a lawyer. He was great and helped me get through the whole process, while explaining the steps to help me better understand.

Highly Recommended

Tim Theisen came highly recommended to me by a close family friend. I would recommend him to anyone who is thinking about going through the bankruptcy process. At first I was scared, nervous, and ashamed of the situation I got myself into. I didn't want to admit that I was drowning in debt. After my ...first initial meeting with Tim, my fears were calmed. Tim is extremely knowledgeable. He was able to answer all of my questions and then some. Even his front office staff, Amy in particular, was helpful. I would recommend Tim Theisen to anyone! Don't wait to call!!

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.
