Barton S Balis

My husband and I anguished for over a year on how to handle our financial situation. Job loss and unexpected expenses found us in a scary situation where bills were being paid by credit card. After a successful year on debt consolidation plan, we found ourselves unable to cover expenses and the debt ...consolidation company told us that our best course was Bankruptcy. Bart was the first lawyer that we met with and he put us at ease right away in a very emotional situation. He looked us straight in the eyes and said it was going to be okay. Bart's confidence and reassurance and willingness to answer desperate calls and emails as we navigated Chapter 7 went far above our expectations. His representation of us before the Trustee was fair and sound and he wasn't running in the door at the last minute like many of the other lawyers there for their hearing. Bart advocated for us before, during and after and stayed in touch as we waited for the final case closing, which came today after 15 long months. You simply will not find a more caring, knowledgeable, gracious person to help you through the Bankruptcy process. Thanks to Bart, we didn't just have a fresh start, we had a running start.

Bart Balis helped me with my bankruptcy a couple years ago. He was non-judgmental and very thorough. I did not feel rushed through the process during the initial meeting or with follow-up visits. He always kept me informed of the next step, and what was currently going on. He was very prompt in ret...urning my phone calls.There were no charges or limits with the advice or information over the phone. He made the process as stress-free as possible. I was referred to him by a friend and have heard complements about him from many people. I had gone to his office one day to see if he delt with foreclosure procedures or if he could refer me to a lawyer that did. I found out he had semi-retired? I e-mailed him not really expecting a response. I heard from him a couple of days later. He gave me the information and advice that I needed. I have e-mailed him several times since then and always get my questions answered right away. He's always been very knowledgeble in his specialty as well as different areas of the law. I wouldn't hesiate referring him. He has all the qualities I was looking for, especially being trustworth, nonjudgemental and was not arrogant or showey. I wish all my experiences with lawyers had been so positive. Thanks Bart!
