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 bankruptc...y 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, p...rofessional, 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 :-)

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
