Outstanding Community Service
Mr. David Tilem was a great example of providing outstanding community service without thinking of how much he would get paid. He answered all of my questions which put me at ease right away. I asked him so much questions and he answered them all that in the future when I am up financially that I would donate to his costs. This how good Mr. Tiley, he showed concern and compassion at a person right away rather than getting me as a client. Thank you Mr. Tiley!! God Bless.

Joseph Jackson Bankruptcy from 1999
I hired David Tilem to reopen the bankruptcy case of Joseph Jackson the father of Michael Jackson that case was closed in1999 .The best choice I have ever made,Tilem was knowledgeable of the law headed me in the right direction was courteous always responded to my questions immediately above all I was successful in not only reopening the old case but through Mr Tilems efforts I was able to purchase all the IP and copyrights to the Jackson Television shows from the 80's from the new Chapter 7 Trustee .I highly recommend this firm and only wished that he practiced law in New Jersey where I reside. Hat's off to David Tilem.
