An Angel sent from Heaven

I am a single mother of 3 children that is getting my life back on track after being out of work force for many years. I was referred to Michael through public law center . He helped get through a very tough time and having to decide to file chapter 7 was not an easy thing so do . Michael is such a k...ind and knowledgeable attorney. He relieved the stress of the unknown and made the process as simple as possible for me . He explained the entire process and accompanied me the my trustee hearing. My children and I were blessed to have him represent us during the process. I have referred him to all my friends and family for is exceptional professionalism and service. With out a doubt the best there is .....Thank you Michael for the this new lease on life I have , I couldnt have done it with you.

Lawyer

Lawyer Michael G. David represented me in my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Case. Prior to submitting my information to the court, he thoroughly vetted me; verified my documentation; and personally interviewed and assisted me in preparing for the procedure. He stayed in constant touch while awaiting the hear...ing. He advised me on steps required by the court (Pre and Post Internet Counseling Courses) and all necessary documentation needed prior to the Hearing. Following the Hearing he stayed in touch until the final Discharge was granted. He and his staff were thorough, professional and attentive to my needs and inquiries. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone in need of legal representation.

Mike is the greatest!

Mike was an awesome listener so he really heard what we needed and wanted. When he gave advice it was clear and helpful. He presented all our options and helped us to see clearly what was the best way to go when we had a decision to make. He was always calm and composed and very, very patient with al...l our questions. He was responded very quickly when we called or emailed. We would recommend him to everyone.
