I am blessed to have John Gist take on my case. My family and I are very grateful for all the work he has done for us. He was very professional and assertive when taking care of my complex difficulties involving chapter 11 and 7. John Gist is the most trustworthy and hard working lawyer person that I have ever met. He truly is dedicated to bringing the best results no matter the situation.
I am very happy that I used Mr. Gist. Mr. Gist was very helpful, he listened to what I had to say and what I wanted. He gave me some options as to what could be done after we talked. Then we came up with a plan that was best for me. I would highly recommend Mr. Gist to everyone.
We help find alternatives to Bankruptcy when Consumers are faced with aggressive debt collectors. Often, we help impoverished seniors for no charge.
24 years, 300 cases
Our mission is this: To remove our clients from a difficult situation and place them confidently on a much better path. We want to replace hopelessness with realistic hope. Our clients will regain confidence that the future will be much better. In other words, we love to help people, and enjoy helping them achieve success!
Â
Mr. Gist has worked to increase his clients' understanding of the very complex issues found in Bankruptcy Law. He does not believe in allowing non-professionals to do what an attorney should be doing. For that reason, Mr. Gist spends much time with his clients. He doesn't turn over his clients to a secretary or a paralegal to ask the very important questions. He does not give his clients a long questionaire to answer. He knows that his training as a Consumer and Bankruptcy Attorney has uniquely prepared him to be a very good advocate for those who need protection from creditors or for those who need to file Bankruptcy. Therefore, he prefers to know his clients very well by meeting with them personally. This increases his clients' comfort level and gives them confidence that their case will be handled professionally.
Â
Mr. Gist only recommends that his clients file Bankruptcy if that is the best option for them. He offers a free, personal two hour consultation, and even provides clients with free forms that will help some of them avoid filing Bankruptcy. Since avoiding Bankruptcy is simply not possible for everyone, Mr. Gist knows that it is necessary to spend time with his clients, in order to assess what is best for each of them. Just as no two people are the same, he knows no two clients are alike. Mr Gist treats each client according to their own unique circumstances and needs.
Â
The relationship between an attorney and his client is based upon mutual trust. Mr. Gist uses the free consultation to introduce himself thoroughly to his clients, to give them the confidence that they are choosing the right law office. He also assesses his prospective clients to determine whether they have any fears that need to be addressed. He wants his clients to walk out the door following their first meeting feeling as though they have been educated enough to make a proper decision and confident that with the help of the F. John Gist Law Offices, they will develop the right plan for a much brighter future.

"I have learned that like myself, Mr. Gist is giving serious personal attention to his clients and not just running a factory. I believe that the only way to prepare a bankruptcy is by going over every question with my client face to face and not trying to cut corners or take shortcuts. Mr. Gist shares this belief. I endorse this lawyer."

"I endorse this lawyer. I am aware of his ongoing efforts to advise people on Avvo. The quality of his answers clearly show that he has the skills of a quality bankruptcy lawyer. They are well thought out. Moreover, the answers reflect an attorney that actually cares about people, including those that are far from where is offices are and he knows will never be his clients. In addition, he is a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA.) That further reflects his commitment to the consumer debtor as it reflects that his primary clients are consumers an small businesses. I believe any individual that goes to him for help will be well served by hem."
