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.

Chapter 7 & Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

I made an appointment to consult with Mr. Springer on a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. He took the time to explain to me both the Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and advised me what we needed to do to answer a seven day notice for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, that was out of state. I did appreciated the time a...nd the research he did for me to answer all of my questions. I would highly recommend Mr. Springer should you have a need to file Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. He was very courteous and knowledgeable.

A very knowledgeable and aggressive attorney.

Mr Springer was very receptive and well versed in bankruptcy law; his certificates speak for themselves. He was very reassuring as well as aggressive with his style. Mr Springer made my wife and I feel very reassured and confident throughout the process of filing bankruptcy even when we felt nervous;... so much so that I recommended him to a few friends who were struggling with the idea of filling for themselves.

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.

A lifeline!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank Mr. Springer and his staff for his professionalism and attention while handling my case. Filing for bankruptcy is not an easy process (both emotional and practical), but their dedication and attention to ensuring everything was submitted, attending the meetings... with creditors and court moguls with me, with their best disposition, made everything less frightening. Most of all, I felt supported all the way through and for that remain grateful to Mr. Springer and his staff. They always answered my questions and were flexible and candid while following up with creditors and next steps in my case. From my perspective the quality of your work and that of your staff must be recognized. They are a lifeline to many of us at the end of the rope! If I ever know of anyone needing bankruptcy services, I will send them their way!
