Definitely a great choice

I hired Tim to file a chapter 13 bankruptcy for me and my wife. We were on the verge of losing our home. Tim and Mitchell Legal Advocates stopped the foreclosure and help us save our house. Definitely a very trying time for us, but they helped us every step of the way. Would recommend Tim, Dave, ...and Mitchell Legal Advocates to anyone who is trying to save their home and get a fresh start. Thank you Mitchell Legal Advocates.

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!

Extremely Dependable and Trustworthy

After a 10 years of trying to get back on my feet, I knew I needed to file bankruptcy. I called a few of the bigger firms on TV but all I felt was the run around. When I called Mitchell Legal Advocates, I was able to talk to a lawyer right away. I met with Tim and his associate Dave, they were bot...h very knowledgable and friendly, I definitely felt like a person rather than a check with a number. They took the time to explain everything to me in terms I could understand, and geninuley were concerned about my issues. The process was quick and painless. I am now in a chapter 13 plan and everything is starting to turn around for me. I really appreciated their help and would recommend them to anyone for any financial help. Thanks guys!

Very Dependable, Honest, and Experienced

After a long time of struggling paying my mortgage and second mortgage, I ran into trouble. I did call around a bit looking for an attorney but half the time no one ever called me back, or I felt rushed off the phone. Mr. Bell always answered my questions and helped put my mind at ease. He took th...e time, I never felt rushed or like just another attorney fee. I was able to not only get out from foreclosure, but was even able to get rid of the second mortgage on my house in my Chapter 13 bankruptcy. My payments to my trustee were a small fraction of what I have to pay beforehand. I am sure many have said this before, but after being helped through this process, I only wish now I have go with Mr. Bell sooner. Thank you, an absolute 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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
