This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great experience

Greg Wald was very patient with me while I was navigating bankruptcy, a new and scary thing. He answered all my questions, and I felt confident hiring him because he has decades of experience specifically in bankruptcy law. His services also included a program to help me get my credit score back up, ...which is a fantastic bonus. When I was nervous about finding his office and a place to park, he drew a map by hand and e-mailed it to me. I highly recommend him.

Very Helpful and Knowledgeable

Greg is very knowledgeable and has not hesitated to help with any questions or concerns I have had throughout my case. He also has partnered with a company that helps rebuild your score after you file. Throughout the process he has always responded quickly to the concerns I have had.

Makes this process simple

I met with Mr. Wald a couple times after the first consultation. He was patient with me and didn't pressure me. He explained everything I needed to know, answered all of my questions and told me how he can help me have a 702 credit score after filing bankruptcy. I couldn't have asked for a better att...orney!

If there was more than 5 stars I world have given him!! Best lowyer in MINNESOTA!!

I greatly appreciated the level of great service provided by Mr. Greg Wald! He handled my Bankruptcy and answered all of my questions. He was very knowledgeable, very diligent at looking at different aspects of the law which would best suit my case. He understood my situation Right away and guided ...me to the process almost immediately. It was only 2 weeks from initial consultation to having my case filed. When you start talking to him, it's like you've know him all your life. Very professional, friendly, helpful and personable. From the start he explained things in an easy to understand way that made the entire process seem much less daunting and intimidating. He put me at ease. Easy to get in touch with, He returns any phone calls and emails promptly himself. Greg is very detailed. I never imagined things would have went as smoothly as they did. I would definitely recommend him to anybody that is struggling With finances, like I was. I am very pleased with the fabulous work he did. Thanks a million Greg you’re the best!!!! God Bless you !!!!!
