Happy Customer

Mr. Wald is very good at his job. I put excellent down on all the above because HE was. I do not like lawyers but Greg was different. He listened and explained thing so a normal person could understand. I have never done this bankruptcy be for and was scared. He made it easy and with his explanations... it went very well. Always returned my calls and made sure I knew what was expected of me. I will recommend Greg to anyone that asks or know. His staff also is top notch and friendly. Very easy to find the Bloomington office. Thank you Greg and to whomever reads this, for your time.

Thank you Mr. Wald for your expertise and time.

Gregg recently filed bankrupcy for me. He has been efficient, honest, and pleasant to work with. He has always taken time to answer my calls and provide me with the information I needed to do my part in the bankrupcy proceeding. He explains things in a way that is calming and you realize that he know...s his job very well. I would recommend Greg to my friends and family. Thanks again Greg.

A reliable guide

Deciding to file for bankruptcy was an emotional and scary prospect. I was fortunate to retain Gregory Wald because from the initial phone conversation to the actual court appearance, Mr. Wald was an excellent guide. His knowledgeable answers to my questions in the first phone conversation allowed me... to make the decision to proceed with filing. The information for steps in the process, the background information I needed to provide to complete the filing, and information regarding the court procedure, was clear and promptly forwarded to me. I thought the whole process would be a nightmarish combination of confusing paperwork mixed with a dose of emotionalism. Due to Mr. Wald's expertise, the emotional aspects were calmed and the processing itself was very organized. My thanks to Mr. Wald. I highly recommend him to anyone who's either wondering if this is the step they should take or for assistance in filing a bankruptcy petition -- he will be an excellent guide.
