Relief at last!

To be perfectly honest I feel like Nicholas Westbrook has helped me get my life back. He was able to meet with me in Northwest Houston which is my area of town and I was able to get an appointment within a day after calling his office. His website listed the documents needed to start the process a...nd I was able to make payment which really helped my situation..... his chapter 7 bankruptcy fee is very reasonable. When the mortgage industry went through a slump a few years ago I found myself having to take a job with a much lower salary which made it hard to make ends meet. I struggled for years making payments on my debts with only pennies left over, I finally reached a point and said "I can't do this any longer". My credit rating was excellent and my credit scores were in the 800s , I worked very hard to keep it that way and I'm no slacker. This is why it was such a hard decision for me to file for bankruptcy...... I think I was literally sick for about month over it, but after working with Nicholas he made it a less stressful situation for me. He worked quickly and communicated with me by phone or email if he needed anything. His receptionist Jessica is the best she was always pleasant and helpful every time I called the office. If anyone finds themselves in a financial situation and need to file bankruptcy call attorney Nicholas Westbrook he's the man for the job!

Mr. Westbrook led me through this process with ease; he is a true professional

Mr. Westbrook met with me for our initial session and answered ALL the questions I had and didn't even blink an eye. I'm sure he answers the same questions over and over again for different clients, but it meant a lot that he took the time to make sure I understood everything before leaving his offi...ce. If I ever had a question, Mr. Westbrook was very good about getting back with me quickly. I felt like I had all the information I needed and always knew what the next step in the process was. My bankruptcy was discharged in October 2012 and the process of getting to that point was made a million times easier thanks to Mr. Westbrook and his staff. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone!

Made Bankruptcy Easy

Filing for bankruptcy is never an easy decision but Nicholas made it a very easy process. My wife and I met with Nicholas on a couple of occasions after battling with the decision for a couple of years. He was very knowledgeable and made us feel at ease about this decision. We are glad we chose to wo...rk with him. The whole process actually seemed a little "too easy". He was with us when we had to attend our creditors meeting which I was very nervous about, but he prepared us for what was going to happen. I really appreciate he service and assisting us in moving on with our lives. I hope no one I know will ever have to file for bankruptcy but if they do I will definitely refer them to Nicholas Westbrook.

Solid Advice and Help

Mr. Westbrook was a second opinion that turned into me hiring him to represent me. In our initial consultation, he was direct, clear and fully explained options and potential outcomes which made decision making on my part much easier. When I hired him, he promptly and efficiently handled the matter... at hand. I've been very pleased with his service and the responsiveness of his office at all times.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I've known Nick since law school at South Texas. Nick always stood out in class as one of the smartest guys and graduated at the top of our class. Nick's brain is perfect for all the bankruptcy and business law that he practices. But I am endorsing Nick because of his personality. it's personality and knowledge that succeed in criminal law, and he's got both. Nick is a very dangerous opponent for the District Attorney. if he can beat you on the law, he will. And if he can't, he will argue it to the jury and charm them into the right verdict. I endorse Nick's continued success in the criminal world."
