Chapter 7

Everything was done as told. The process went pretty smoothly. The only issue I have is I would have like to have had more face to face with the lawyer rather then having a paralegal as the middle man. But other then that Erin B. Shank helped us allot in are case and we are very thankful to have had ...her as are lawyer.

Caring professional, expert knowledge, sound advice & RESULTS

I can't recommend Mrs. Shank enough if you live in Central Texas and are in need of consultation regarding filing Bankruptcy. I was very resistant to file and it took me months to decide to go through with it. During that time, both she and her office staff answered questions for me, provided me with... accurate information and Erin was willing to do what it took to help me file Chapter 7, putting her extensive experience to work and filling out additional information to ensure I would qualify. I spoke to other law firms but it wasn't until I found Mrs. Shank's office that I felt confident I comfortable to work with them on such a sensitive and stressful event. As if that weren't enough, I was under a wage garnishment when I filed and they worked hard to expedite processing my case to stop the garnishment in time for Christmas. All in all, they treated me how they would have wanted to be treated, they went the extra mile, were great to work with, and above all provided sound advice with results- I am relived of this heavy burden and am so glad I decided to trust her and her team. They know what they are doing and they care about people and actually want to help them get out of their debt crisis. I would recommend her without hesitation, to anyone in need of information and help on filing bankruptcy.

Great Lawyer

Mrs. Shank and her staff were amazing. They took our bad Ch 13 from Florida and put us into a Ch 7 and we are so relieved.

Lifted a major Income Tax Burden

Ms. Shank has not only thoroughly researched and submitted major debt of over $600k to the court but has already relieved me of $38,000 in IRS debt. It's gone!! I can now easily repay the remaining income taxes in less than two years. She and her staff are knowledgeable, patient, efficient and cor...dial. I would not recommend ANYONE else to assist you with your credit and debt burdens.

Exceeded our expectations

I was helping my sister and brother-in-law out with getting to and from the lawyer's office and helping with some computer stuff. I was able to sit in on the meetings with them. Erin Shank is very down to earth. She has a pleasant demeanor and easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, very helpful, very p...atient and very thorough. I was going through some legal matters of mine own which, little did I know, turned out to affect my sister's case. I feel Erin Shank went above and beyond by spending her time and resources to help me try to find a real estate lawyer. In the process of looking out for her client's best interests, she also helped me. She even printed out some pages from a reputable website which proved to be instrumental in my case. I am very grateful to her for all her help. I would definitely recommend her. Erin Shank's staff was also very friendly and helpful. Although my sister and brother-in- law did not want to file bankruptcy, Erin Shank and her staff made the process easier and smoother than they imagined. They, too, are very grateful for Erin Shank and staff for their services and would also recommend them. Erin Shank and staff definitely exceeded our expectations.
