Excellent Attorney

David Vis is an excellent attorney. He is extremely knowledgable, takes time to explain things, is trustworthy, and has the best interests of his clients at heart. Understand if you choose him as your lawyer that he will walk you thoroughly through the particulars of your case and file paperwor...k in a timely fashion. He is not the quickest at responding to calls (which he prefers to e-mail), but if you absolutely need him he will go to bat for you. My sense is that he prioritizes what he needs to do first. When my case took an unexpected turn, David dropped everything and immediately returned my call--providing much needed expertise and a calming influence. I highly recommend him. If you're someone who needs constant updates as to the status of your case he may not be the best lawyer for you. For everyone else, know that you are in good hands.

Client review of David E Vis

David is extremely competent and knows the ins and outs of the bankruptcy process. He thoroughly explained what the process entailed and what to expect. I was probably one of his most reluctant of clients, but he appropriately nudged me along until the process was complete. I sincerely hope I never... have to go through something like this again, but if I do, I would work with David again in a heartbeat.

You can't find better bankruptcy (BK) representation

Want a knowledgeable and effective BK lawyer? Look no further. He wiped out $900k of debt for me even though I had rather sizable tax returns. I put off BK for many years just because I looked too good on paper to think I could qualify. David is a non-nonsense partner that will dispense some tough lo...ve advice along with his legal skills, but he gets the job done and continues to work on my behalf even now that the worst is over. And one more thing: ignore the reprimand from 2006 that sticks out like a sore thumb on this site; I know the story and it's no big thing (he'll tell you too if you are interested in hearing about it). Only criticism I have is that sometimes he gets TOO busy, but I excuse that based on how I know he spent more time with me than he probably should have (so he probably does with others too).

Thankful Client

I would say filing for bankruptcy ranks as high on the stress scale as going through a divorce! And if you are me, you are facing both at the same time!! So what do you do? You reach out to those who you trust to refer you to a trustworthy attorney who can help you with your bankruptcy. I believe... in being thorough, so I solicited the opinions of more than one friend; my banking friend, my legal assistant friend and a third unrelated source. All three told me to call David Vis. Thank you all for referring me to David!! David is an attorney who truly cares about his clients, and believes in what he does to help others. He informed me of the process, answered all of my questions, and as well gave me tasks to handle on my end, which included taking two on-line classes that are mandatory to get through this process. I did everything David asked of me. He was great calling me back and keeping me informed at all times. If you listen to him, take notes and do your part, you will be as happy as I am that you hired David. My case went smooth, and the final discharge was a few months ago. Then, out of the clear blue, he called me. Of course, since I am still going through my dissolution action, I was panicked that something was wrong. No, nothing was wrong, David was simply calling me to make sure everything was going okay with me, and wanted to be sure I was not having an issues with creditors. In my professional opinion, David went above and beyond the call of duty by calling me. I recommend you hire David Vis as your bankruptcy attorney, you will not regret it!

Great Advocate

David did an great job for me. He tells it like it is, not just what you want to hear to keep the tab running. David also provided some great advice on financial issues outside the bankruptcy. I consider David an outstanding advocate and now a friend.
