Expectations Exceeded and Relief Found!

Mrs. Shank and her staff took a very stressful, exhausting situation and helped give my husband and I a new beginning! With 5 kids, 4 in college and one still at home, we were at our wits end with an unfortunate financial situation. Mrs. Shank filed chapter 7 on our behalf and with her superior kno...wledge we were relieved! We wouldn't recommend any other attorney than Mrs. Shank and her exceptional staff. They were always friendly, helpful and answered any questions we had in a very timely manner. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Very satisfied

After being told from a different firm that I needed to file a chapter 13 bankruptcy I had decided I probably needed to sell my home and property. After being unsucessful at selling I decided to check with Ms. Shank to see if maybe she could help me. She and her firm not only did a chapter 7 for me... she also was able to do a home modification on my mortgage enabling me to keep my home! Could not be more pleased!

High praise, a heart felt recommendation, and our deep appreciation to Ms. Shank

My wife and I worked with Ms. Shank when we were had hit a tough spot in our life after almost 7 years of financial struggle since the housing bust began and had to short sell our home. After losing my job and having to move my family to Waco, Texas, Ms. Shank represented us in our Chapter 7 petitio...n in such an outstanding way. We had a few obstacles thrown at us because of previous income level, unemployment, the family move, debt size, and a new job; however, she guided us through wisely and smoothly. We also came to Texas with leases that were black holes of potential costs due to the driving distances, but her legal counsel guided us through this soupy mess. I am beyond grateful for her immediate and professional availability. Her staff is outstanding as well. They are responsive, kind, and understanding during such a stressful time. There is some to be said for a person of such experience, knowledge, wisdom, willingness to help, and tenacity to fight for the client after 32 years of practicing law. I am grateful and humbled that she has helped up navigate through this dark time truly to a fresh new start. Please, consider her first for your lawyer. Others may be a bit cheaper, but you truly get what you pay for. When you deal with legal matters and things that can break or make a person and a family, I give you my wholehearted advice to invent her representation.

On Point

I consulted with 3 attorneys before Ms. Shank, all three insisted that I made too much money to file a Chapter 7 or that I had to wait about six months, unacceptable, Decided to try one more time. Walked into Ms. Shank's Office and they immediately said "Chapter 7, No Problem" She is right on point. ...Today, I got my Chapter 7, what a relief. Don't know where those other lawyers have been hiding.
