Excellent

I had debated about filing for bankruptcy for almost a year, mostly because i thought the process would be more than I could handle. Tom made that fear go away! He made me feel very comfortable with the process, and explained it to me every step of the way. Always returned my calls and answered my e...mails promptly.

Best Attorney Ever!

I have been looking for a right attorney to represent my case. I've received a lot of letters from attorneys who wanted to help me with my case, so I went through the letters and decided to pick Tom. I knew Tom will be my attorney before I've check out his website and Yelp. I can tell he is a flex...ible person to work on a case. I immediately texted him if I can make an appointment with him, so we did. Tom is very nice, friendly, caring, patient, understandable, and easily to communicate with. He makes me feel comfortable and walks me through step by step. He is very knowledgeable and explains everything clearly to me about the bankruptcy. I am hard of hearing we communicate through text and email. Whenever I have questions, he replies fast. He did a very great job because all I have to do is sign paperwork and the rest of them he takes care of it. Within the following month my court date has been set. Tom, thank you for all your help and I couldn't of ask for a better attorney. If anyone is looking for an attorney, Tom would be the best choice. Susan

The very best!

Tom Amberg is the very best! I originally met with several bankruptcy lawyers before I finally settled on Tom. He was the easiest to talk to, extremely knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. I have had other lawyers in the past, and he's the very best. He is kind, and didn’t make me feel judged. He is... patient, and will work with you at your own pace, whether you want it done as quickly as possible, or to go at a slower pace. I appreciate how easy he made the process, and it wasn’t a headache for me. He answered all of my questions promptly even if it was in the evening or over the weekend, and communicated things clearly, giving me an overview of the entire process and timing before diving into each step. Tom’s a great attorney, and all around good person who will have your best interest at heart. I highly recommend him!

Excellent

I am very glad that Tom handled my case. He was guiding every step what will be happening and what I should expect. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone who needs help in the areas of bankruptcy / collection defense / general civil litigation.

Great at what he does!

I have never had an attorney before so I can't compare him to anyone. But I will say that he is very knowledgeable and knows what he is doing. He always had an answer to every question or concern regarding my case. Also, he is professional yet very-much-so the average person, making him an approachab...le, easy-to-talk to person. Most importantly, I trust that his work is genuine. Not once did I feel that he was doing it for his benefit, rather that he was helping me out. I am very honored to have had him represent me in my case- could not have asked for a better attorney. Thank you Tom!
