Phone Consultation

Before I contacted Mr. Springer's law office, I wasn't sure if I needed an attorney. I didn't know who else to turn to for help and felt that someone with his background can help guide me in the right direction. I was NOT disappointed! My issue involved receiving phone calls from what I discovered to... be a debt collection agency stating that they have been trying to track me down in order to serve me paperwork for a civil suit on behalf of their clients. While they had my correct address and contact information, I had not received any court papers stating that I was being sued, though they insisted that they had served me and that I had failed to respond and they were now prepared to put a hold on my bank accounts and garnish my wages. Many of their statements were contradictory and confusing, their claims were unsubstantiated and didn't even match the statute of limitations for filing such a suit. Even with my very basic knowledge of the court system and how the laws function, all of this sounded very fishy to me. It did however worry me enough for me to look into it. That's when I called Mr. Springer's office. He quickly got on the phone, listened patiently while I explained my situation, and proceeded to guide me with some great advice. Not only did he put my worries to rest, but he went on to give me a course of action to take if these illegal scare tactics continued. He went above and beyond by sharing what steps to take in response to different scenarios that may arise. Mr. Springer gave me his time and advice based on his experience and extensive knowledge of the law for no other reason besides the fact that he cares and likes to help people. While I didn't need to hire an attorney as my situation doesn't call for it, I also feel like I should have actually paid for the level of time, attention and advice I received! I would recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney in his specialization areas. Besides his knowledge and experience, he's someone who genuinely cares about his clients and enjoys helping people. That's the kind of person you want in your corner! As a side note, he also employs extremely professional and courteous front office staff which I very much appreciated.

Mr. Springer, ATTY is an very knowledgeale and caring attorney

I called his office regarding a free phone consultation and he returned my call promptly. I had some questions regarding a judgment and what I should do. He informed me of the exemption I could take for myself and family to protect my home equity. He was very helpful and concerned about my situat...ion. He suggested websites I could go on to seek further information on the subject so I could be informed and help make an educated decision. I was so impressed with his genuine interest and concern and taking his time to give me this information. I highly recommend him as a very knowledgeable and caring attorney.

Very easy to contact and deal with

I dealt with Timothy regarding a credit card summons and he was very helpful and informative. I was able to reach him via phone and/or email easily. I would recommend him to anyone needing this kind of help.
