My name is Christy Heimer, I'm an experienced attorney specializing in bankruptcy, and I'm here to help  you get a handle on your debt and provide you with the opportunity at a fresh start for your financial future. 
 
I was hired at one of the largest consumer bankruptcy firms in the country upon graduation from law school, and have worked on over 1,000 consumer bankruptcy cases. I have taken that experience and valuable knowledge to my own firm, and since 2009, I've been working with clients in Austin and throughout Central Texas to offer them the best legal advice for preventing foreclosures, stopping debt collection calls, and filing Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies. Most solo practitioners spend a lifetime working on the number of cases I have worked just in the beginning of my career, and this knowledge has been invaluable to me as a bankruptcy attorney. 
 
At Heimer Law Offices, we will take the time to thoroughly analyze your situation and come up with a solution particularly tailored to your needs. I offer free consultations, both over the phone and in person, and have a proven track record of helping people seek the debt relief they need. 
 
Call me today for an appointment and we will help you get on track towards your financial fresh start. We offer evening and weekend appointments and are centrally located with ample parking.  If you are facing foreclosure, repossession, or are overwhelmed with debts such as credit cards, medical bills, tolls, payday loans, or any other type of debt, call me today, and me and my experienced staff will work to move you forward to the next chapter of your life.
 
 
 
 

 

We look forward to being of assistance to you and await your call so don't hesitate, call now at .

C. HEIMER is an Outstanding Bankruptcy Lawyer!
M D Dourado-Austin,TX--Sept 2022. In Spring 2022, in my worst moments under a credit card lawsuit affliction, I've been very fortunate of finding Heimer Law Offices during my legal assistance search. Christy Heimer was the right lawyer to assist me, indeed! Christy is a very knowledgeable bankruptcy lawyer; she inspired the confidence that there were good solutions ahead. And I calmed down, as she instructed me in the right direction. Along with her right-hand Katie (Christy's very efficient Assistant), both assisted me to understand all the data about my legal options to handle the details properly. Christy Heimer and Katie instructed me safely throughout all the Chapter7 forms, line by line that needed to be signed to be filed. In a very short time after, my Chapter7 whole debt was filed, a lawsuit removed, and along with other credit cards' debt, all completely "discharged"! I can start anew now, it's quite a relief! I totally recommend Heimer Law Office for bankruptcy assistance in guiding you safely through a personally designed debt solution.

Knowledgeable and Caring
I met Christy in January 2019 and throughout this entire ordeal, she has guided me with her insight and knowledge. Her problem-solving skills are amazing and she clearly thinks things through to ensure the best outcome. But the thing that makes Christy stand out is her kindness and caring attitude. I write this with tears in my eyes because she pulled me from a disappointing and hopeless situation to a future that has some really awesome possibilities. And never did I feel judged or rushed. My case is not over yet but my options today are so much better than they were in January and Christy was a huge factor in that.

Above & Beyond
Christy represented my husband and I when filing for bankruptcy. Not only did she exceed our expectations then but has since continued to go out of her way for us. During the bankruptcy process, I was hot mess. I was nervous, scared, ignorant on the law, embarrassed, etc. Christy was very kind, professional, patient and extremely informative. Being in the midst of a 5 year bankruptcy, items are occasionally needed from me ( proof of income, job change info, etc..). Time and consideration has always been given. The willingness to explain every little step without a single hint of exasperation is a true blessing. Above and Beyond ---- With the passing of a loved one, I needed (or thought I needed) another attorney to assist me with a separate issue. Guess what...., you are not allowed to do that when your are in bankruptcy unless you get approval from your trustee first. Anyway, this other lawyer broke my heart... would not return phone calls, texts, or emails. I would plead on the phone for her to return my calls to no avail. I was devastated. I reached out to Christy for help. Let me just say this---the end result................I was able to get a refund of my full retainer (2500.00) from the (broke-my-heart) lawyer. I was able to process this additional case on my own, it didn't cost me a penny, and the outcome was a great success. PLEASE KNOW-----I COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE, ASSISTANCE, PATIENCE, AND JUST THE BEAUTIFUL HUMAN HEART OF CHRISTY HEIMER. I WILL FOREVER BE THANKFUL :-)

Incredible human being who is also an incredible lawyer!
I've only used a lawyer a few times in my life. So far one was a joke, the other is great dealing with an issue I currently have and then there's Christy, who helped me through my bankruptcy with such professionalism, punctuated by her winning and gentle personality, that she made such a trying time incredibly easy and definitely not at all scary. Everybody's circumstances are different but mine went like clockwork every step of the way. Face it, if you come to her you have some problems but from the initial consultation on, you'll leave feeling in great hands with somebody who actually cares about you. Her secretary Katie is so professional as well. She's a wealth of information and always made me feel welcome and not burdensome with any questions or issues I had. I don't think there's enough superlatives to do Heimer Law justice. Do yourself a favor...if you need a bankruptcy lawyer, you need to at least speak to Christy. She'll change your life. She did mine.

Amazing Attorney!
I found Christy using a quick google map search for the nearest attorney. You do not always get the best by doing this, but I was fortunate enough to find her that day. I made an appointment for a consultation and after meeting her I pretty much hired her on the spot. She walked me through the process and what to expect and it helped ease my worries greatly. She has always been helpful and I really appreciate everything she has helped me with. I highly recommend Christy and if you are ever needing a bankruptcy attorney, she is definitely the one to go with.

"Truly an Professional In A Time Of Need"
Hello to all. In 2009 I fell onto hard times as well as many other families during that time. I was about to loose my home to foreclosure, As the saying goes " I was robbing Peter to pay Paul" just trying to keep my home. I borrowed money from numerous small finance companies ,thus placing me further deeper, and deeper into debt. I had to do something fast. I had received numerous pieces of mail daily out of the mailbox (junk mail)..... I thought! There was a piece of mail advertising the Heimer Law Firm.. I immediately called the number on the flyer and made an appointment to visit the law firm for a free consultation. I told her my situation.She Christy advised me to consider filing an Chapter 13 bankruptcy, this would preserve my home from the foreclosure. Well I went back home and prayed about it, and I was directed to call he back and request the paperwork get started. She was delighted to help, her and her staff filed all the paperwork, got things going. Five (5) years later the bankruptcy was discharged in 2015. I still have my home, debt free, and credit score hovering around 700 to 703. I thank God for Christy for her knowledge of the Bankruptcy Law, and her professionalism that he showed to me when I was in my darkest economic situation. I would Highly recommend the Christy Lingafelter Heimer Law Firm if your considering filing bankruptcy. I will always be grateful for what she and her staff did for me. Sincerely, Kenneth Austin,TX

Very professional yet caring
Mrs Heimer's law firm is the best that I had encountered when looking for an Attorney to represent my husband and I with our finances. After my husband got ill and lost his job we were losing everything due to our income not being what it was. We had to do something and had to find someone that we trusted would have our best interest at heart. Upon meeting her, We knew that she was truly meant to represent us from the start. Her office and receptionist just had a warm and welcoming feeling. She made us feel like our situation mattered to her and she was going to do all she had to do to insure we didn't lose all we worked for. She worked with us, always returned calls, keep us informed and her receptionist was awesome as well making sure we got all information in a timely manner. These two women truly deserve the best rating possible because they are the best. I thank God for leading us to her office because I don't know where me and my family would be. Christy Heimer is the best and I would recommend her to anyone in need of financial help. Thank you!
