Michael James Wink

My husband and I recently filed with Mike and Gigi from Wink and Wink. From the very beginning they were informative, helpful, honest and direct. Always quick to respond with and answer to emails or phone calls. They were found to be reassuring and thorough. Their office staff as well is more that... fantasic. We appreciate the help they gave us to get a new start.

Made me feel comfortable immediately, didn't judge or act superior to me. Had a good sense of humor and kept things relaxed. Although I know bankruptcy is a very serious subject, the husband and wife team of Wink and Wink make things less stressful throughout the entire process. I would recommend ...them to anyone struggling with the idea of bankruptcy. You don't feel "worthless" when you leave their office, you feel informed.

Michael was impressive in the beginning but that was all. I discovered he was making me do a lot of the work myself yet charging me a very exuberant fee. He would email me to tell me he would be calling on a certain day and time and never follow through. I would call him the next day and there was al...ways some lame excuse as to why he missed calling me AND he would charge me for MY call. Obviously MY time is not valuable but his is. Both he and his paralegal would screw up documents and I would point out the errors and AGAIN I was charged for the screw up time, my calling to point it out, and the time to it took them to fix it. In the end, Michael ended up charging me close to $10, 000 in attorney fees and my Chapter 13 monthly payments are actually higher than what I was paying out to creditors before the filing. I don't dare call him or email him any more for fear he will tack on more money to the bottom $ figure of my bankruptcy. So any thing that comes up, I once again have to handle on my own.

Mike not only expertly solved some complex aspects of my bankruptcy, he and his firm provided every kind of support I needed to get through bankruptcy. I only wish I had sought his counsel sooner. I felt guilty and defeated by my financial problems. Wink & Wink listened and more importantly showed me... how to act and take control again. Throughout the entire process they were responsive, professional, and unfailingly courteous.
