Great Bankruptcy Attorney

Rich is very knowledgeable about the options presented for bankruptcy. He is always available to answer your phone calls personally. I am glad I chose him to help me through this difficult time.

Grateful

I dealt with my overwhelming situation for as long as I could. I contacted at least 5 attorneys, but never could settle on one. I decided to contact Mr. Reister, and was immediately given an appointment. When I met him, he put my fears and anxiety to rest. I felt I found someone who cared , and t...hat my need to file was not by choice. After he presented a plan, I literally had tears from feeling a weight lift. The whole team kept me informed, and answered any questions that I had throughout the process. I highly recommend this office to help with a fresh start.

Review Rich Reister

Rich was my attorney on my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. 4 years 2 months later I am in my brand new home and all of that portion of my life is behind me. Rich is a top noth professional who will get you on the right track in life.

In time of need...

Mr. Reister, With the lose of a love one, and 8 years of a collapsing dysfunctional condominium association that ended up failing. Now, not forgetting that 2008 stock market collapse. This has been a hellish 8 plus years Rich. All I ever wanted was to get out from under this mess. I still remembe...r when I entered your office stressed to the breaking point you sat me down and thoroughly explained all my options. When I left your office for the first time in years I felt that oppressive weight of stress lifting. In not waiting and seeking your advice immediately, just as everything was about to implode you froze out my creditors stopping them from destroying my credit score! Wow I’m so glad I didn’t wait like most people normally due. Now today I write this grateful to be finally expecting a full paycheck, though it’s not much… It is enough I can pay my bills now. Save a little and enjoy a few little extras here and there without stress. A little more than 90 days later I have a new life! Thank you for being a Honest man, God Bless You & Your Family & Your Law Firm, A most grateful Client, Jon

The finest and best!

Rich Reister is a fine man and, equally, a fine Attorney! He cares about his clientele in giving them the utmost respect from beginning and beyond. His firm is built on strong values and ethical practices and he selects the most talented people, who share those same values to work beside him. I'm ...proud to have had the privilege to work with him and his great staff. The "personal touch" is not a thing of the past; it is alive and well at Reister Law Firm. It's the little things that make big differences.

"As difficult as it is for me to endorse a fellow Ch. 7 Bankruptcy attorney, I have no qualms about endorsing Rich Reister. I have worked closely with Rich for approximately 8 years, and know him to be extremely knowledgable regarding all facets of bankruptcy. More importantly, though, I know of no other attorney who possesses the level of integrity Rich possesses. If Rich says he'll do something for a client, you can absolutely count on Rich getting it done."
