Bankruptcy Chapter 7
Thanks to Tom and his team this is now behind me. I appreciate their diligent efforts to protect my rights.

Real Estate Closing
Tom came highly recommended by my father who has also used him for a real estate deals. I did not actually go to the closing but there was a hold up at closing because of the buyer trying to get yet another credit.

attorney review
Mr. Toolis is an excellent attorney. He explained, thoroughly, the pros and cons of my filing. He explained the timeline, and stuck to it. He or an associate were always available via phone or email. His fee was reasonable, especially for the quality of work.

Unethical lawyer
I consulted with Mr. Toolis about filing a bankruptcy during my divorce. Due to the status of my divorce, he indicated that I needed to file a Chapter 7 right away, and took a deposit from me. When I called back a few weeks later, he had not done any work on my case. During that time there were so...
I have never in my 15 years of representing a bankruptcy client intimidated a client into filing for Chapter 13 when they should have filed for Chapter7. Additionally, I never take a credit card from a bankruptcy client as the credit card processor will reverse the charge if I accept a credit card and then within 90 days file a bankruptcy for that client. I do have a feeling that I know who this client is, although she fails to identify herself. She did end up filing a chapter 7 with another attorney, however, she intentionally concealed the assets I told her she had to disclose on her bk petition, which is why she was able to file a chapter 7. I can only assume she did not tell her next attorney the true value of the assets she disclosed to me. I always do an exceptional job for my clients. You can see the other reviews in this section. I am disappointed with this review and if this person would contact me, i am sure we could do something resolve the misunderstanding.
