Very Satisfied During A Difficult Time

After the loss of my job I found myself falling further into debt without any relief in sight. I relocated to Omaha from Texas after my job loss for a new start. The problem was my new job wasn't paying enough to handle my debt. After a friendly phone conversation with Mr. Smith, I decided to seek hi...s advice. He was very informative and helpful while helping me come to the decision to file for bankruptcy. During this process he noticed some violations in a threat letter sent to me from a debt collector and he brought this to my attention with accurate detail. After my bankruptcy was final he helped me pursue a lawsuit against this particular company and a settlement was reached very promptly after doing so. The settlement amount actually reimbursed me for my bankruptcy fees. Due to his attention to detail and kind consultation I would highly recommend Mr. Smith. In fact, my partner and I were so impressed he is currently representing her. Thanks again Burke!

Excellent attorney that doesn't pass judgement

At possibly the lowest time in my life, Burke and his office helped coach and direct me through a solution that allowed me to save my home and my reputation. I felt ashamed and embarrassed going into my first meeting but he and his peer made me feel at ease and were nothing but professional. I woul...d recommend them to anyone that needs help finding there way through a tough spot.

Relief from stress and anxiety due to financial situation.

Nearly 1-1/2 years ago, my life was completely upside down. I contacted Burke Smith in hopes of finding an answer to the negative financial situation I was in. Burke went through all my options and assured me that he would walk me through each and every step no matter which avenue I chose. After... much consideration, I chose to go ahead with Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Burke provided the forms I needed to complete and went over them with me to make sure they were full and complete. He also let me make payments to him in several installments while I worked on gathering all the documents needed to file chapter 7 bankruptcy. His fee was very fair and competitive for this area. When I had questions, he was always there to answer them and always called back within 24-hours of any phone message I left. The bankruptcy process in the courtroom could not have been better. Burke sat with me as we waited for our turn and we were literally in front of the trustee for less than 3 minutes. Over the last year and a half, Burke has called me to make sure that I have not continued to receive letters from creditors after the filing process. There were a few instances like that and he took action immediately to have that stopped. If you are stressed out because of financial hardship due to medical bills or any other reason, I would highly recommend contacting Burke Smith for help. I'm so glad I did. Life is what you make of it and a clean slate gives you a chance to achieve goals that otherwise would seem entirely out of reach. If your credit is holding you back from buying a home of your own or keeping you from sleeping peacefully, I want you to know there is light at the end of the tunnel and relief within reach. You have a lot of choices and paths you can go down but choosing Burke Smith to be my attorney was one of the best choices I've made and I wouldn't change a thing. As the new year is just around the corner, I think of where I was just 2 years ago and where I am today financially. I'm very grateful for a second chance to get it right and although Burke Smith was my attorney, I now consider him a friend.
