TRUSTWORTHY,KNOWLEDGEABLE, PROMPT RESPONSE AND WORK WITH INTEGRITY

Attorney Tom Amberg is a very very trustworthy, reliable and knowledgeable in bankruptcy. Filing a bankruptcy is a difficult decision to make but he helped me tremendously and walked me thru it step by step. He always answer my calls, text and emails like immediately although there are times he will ...missed my call because of his Attorney duties at the court but he will return my call right away whenever he's already available. I have consulted with other bankruptcy lawyers but he was the only one I felt I can trust he never sound pushy for you to get his service. And his professional fee is very reasonable and I felt he could've ask for more because he is always there for you whenever you have questions or concerns about your case. He works with integrity when he say I will file your petition on this date he will be on top of it and little you know it's already been filed. Please do yourself a favor don't look for any other bankruptcy lawyer out there, hire him and you will have a great peace of mind while navigating this difficult stage in your life. Again my heartfelt thanks to you Attorney Tom for helping me getting back on track with my life again. May our good lord bless you for your kindness, knowledge and compassion in helping people like me.

My Bankruptcy journey

Bankruptcy can be a humbling and uncomfortable life event. Tom kept it light and professional and his exact knowledge of the process made me comfortable. What was required of me was clear and concise and my case went through smoothly. Any communication/questions were QUICKLY responded to. Having deal...t with lawyers on other topics, Tom is top notch and he actually cares. Thanks Tom!

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
