Highly Recommended
We cannot say enough about how satisfied we are with the way Attorney Combs handled our bankruptcy proceedings. We had lots, and lots of questions, which he took the time to answer each and every one. He was professional,knowledgeable and had an easy way of calming a stressful situation. He kept us well informed;anytime that we had questions or concerns and we phoned him, if he was not immediately available, he'd called us back in a very timely manner. We have completed our bankruptcy, and are on our way to a fresh start. We thank our attorney. We would feel comfortable in recommending Attorney Combs to anyone who is considering a filing of bankruptcy.

I highly recommend him.

Mr. Combs is an outstanding attorney.  He knows the law and works with you very closely to come up with the best solution for you. I had a fairly difficult case but Mr. Combs diligently worked on it to make sure we would succeed, which we did.  He is a winner! He was always available and treated me like family.  I highly recommend Mr. Combs to anyone looking for someone who is a professional, result orientated and treats you with respect.  I did a lot of research and interviewed several lawyers before hiring Mr. Combs.  I would suggest that you don't waste your time and call his office to confirm my comments here.

Excellent and caring
I can not speak enough about how satisfied I am with my experience in working with Mr. Combs. After being nearly frauded by another attorney I came across Timothy Combs. Upon my first meeting with Mr. Combs he was professional, courteous and explained the process to me in detail. Mr. Combs and his assistant Adel maintained regular contact with me to ensure there was no step missed. I feel that my case was handled with the utmost care and I was so happy to get my final discharge. I would definitely recommend this attorney to anyone seeking bankruptcy assistance.

chapter 7
Mr. Combs service was par excellence. His knowledge of the bankruptcy laws was unquestionable. Everything he said would happen came true. His fee was high to me but the cost was well worth it. four thumbs up to Timothy Combs

Believe the reviews!
49 reviews, every one a 5-star review? Seemed too good to be true, but having gotten all the way through my case I can only do my best to break the star counter with a 6-star review. I came to Tim Combs after investing $500 ($500 more than I had) in a very squirrely, underperforming attorney in the same town. As reluctant as I was to punt on that money, I could not have chosen better. Extremely experienced, unfailingly responsive, meticulous attention to detail, NO BS, AT ANY POINT. Painstakingly aware of any possible pitfall and very proactive about dealing with the hassles. And I'll say this, when he brought out the sheaf of paperwork an inch thick, I immediately recognized that he earns his fee which, considering the level of service was very reasonable. Furthermore, he protected a large chunk of my further income from being seized, a move I would never have known to make which saved his fee 5 times over. Would 'twer every lawyer was as straight up as this guy!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!
I knew I needed to file for bankruptcy due to a series of unfortunate events that caused me to lose everything, except all my debt of course. I put off hiring a lawyer for a long time because I had just had a horrible experience with my divorce lawyer. I thought I could catch up and pay everything after my back surgery and rehabilitation was completed. I was wrong. Creditors were ruthless and relentless. I called Timothy Combs for a free consultation. He was fantastic. He is an amazing lawyer with incredible knowledge in his field. He put me at ease and told me not to worry. He gave me a step by step of how things would go- and that is ECACTLY how it went. Do not hesitate hiring him to represent you. He is a GOOD one!!!

Timothy Combs was referred to me by a coworker to help me decide weather bankruptcy was an option for my situation. I went in not knowing anything about it and within a hour, everything was explained to me and every question I had was answered. Everything from that point on was communicated in a timely manner and the whole process was stress free. I highly recommend Timothy Comb as an attorney you can trust.

The best Lawyer ever!
Mr. Timothy Combs handled my Chapter 7 bankruptcy and my Motorcycle Injury Case. Anyone who's been through this process will tell you how stressful it can be, at least it was for me. Mr. Combs and his team made sure that I knew what to expect ahead of time and walked me through the entire process of my bankruptcy with patience and support. Even though I was the client I felt like I was part of the team. Tim is truly professional and very knowledgeable with chapter 7 bankruptcies and injury cases. If you're in need of a great and caring bankruptcy Lawyer or Injury Lawyer then I highly recommend Mr. Timothy Combs. You can rest knowing that you're in the best hands possible. Thank you Tim for everything!

Amazing results! Great communication.
Timothy Combs assisted us in prevailing on a dog assault. The insurance company wanted us to accept a settlement that was unacceptable. With Tim's assistance we received a settlement over 3.6 times greater than the insurance company would have paid to us without representation. Dependable, great communication throughout, fantastic results
