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.

Very Helpful, Informative and Flexible

Tom made a bad experience (BK) go very smoothly and guided me through the process. He was always available to answer all my questions and handled everything as promised. I highly recommend Tom!

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!

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!

Sincere

Tom was really great in helping me getting through my case. You can sense his sincerity when you communicate with him that he is on your side and ready to help. He kept me informed by calling and also sending me email about where we are at with my case. Thanks a lot Tom! I will highly recommend Tom A...mberg to anybody.
