Caring and Professional

I spent alot of time trying to figure out how to save my house. I was laid off and fell months behind on my mortgage payments. Tim helped me get affordable payments for the payments i was behind on, and get all of my other debt squared away at the same time. He even helped me recover money I thou...gh was lost in a wage garnishment, and even got a settlement from some creditors that froze my bank account after I filed bankruptcy. He definitely went above and beyond to help me get everything right away. I would recommend him and the Mitchell Legal Advocates to anyone looking to get their life finances straight again. Thanks guys!

Excellent Lawyer, Very Trustworthy and Helpful

Tim helped me file my Chapter 13 bankruptcy. He was very helpful and explained the whole process in terms I can understand. He was very genuine and was sincerely interested helping me save my house. I tried to go to those firms I saw on TV and was treated very poorly, and couldn't even speak to a ...lawyer before getting hit up for money. I felt very comfortable with Tim, he is just a good guy and very sympathetic to my situtation. He answered all my questions, and treated me with respect. I would highly recommend him and Mitchell Legal Advocates to anyone who is having foreclosure difficulty, or needs to file bankruptcy, you won't find anyone better or more caring. Thank you Tim, you are a blessing.

Outstanding Attorney

I would highly recommend Tim's services to anything thinking about filing a bankruptcy. I had a some serious tax issues that were very complex, and Tim worked through them with ease. Not only did I save my house, but I also cut my monthly debt payments by 80%, I almost still cant believe it. I on...ly wished I had done it sooner, knowing now how it is helping me. Tim is a great lawyer, and I would definitely tell anyone who is thinking of doing a bankruptcy to call him. Thanks again.

An Absolute Godsend!

Mr. Bell was an amazing lawyer. I first came to him when the bank started to forclose on my house. He helped fight the bank to buy me time to try and get a loan modification. Sadly the bank would not offer me one, but then Mr. Bell stepped in and helped me file a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. He s...aved my house! I am eternally grateful, and would recommend his legal services to anyone in need of a bankrutpcy or help with a foreclosure. Godbless

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
