Laid back, knowledgable and helpful!

We just had our first consultation with Kurt after I researched him on this site. My husband and I are trying to negotiate bankruptcy and an amicable divorce. It is a very difficult situation, as it is in any legal dispute, and Kurt did a great job of being fair. He steers the conversation away fr...om the why and tries to focus on how to fix the issues at hand. At times I felt, understandably, emotional and he kept trying to keep us focused on brainstorming how to make a plan that works for both of us. It's hard to talk about these types of issues and I was impressed with how he handled our case. We are looking forward to working with Kurt.
