David E. Vis

First, I'm still in the process of working through a Bankruptcy (maybe) with Mr. Vis and so I cannot speak to his behavior or skills throughout the process. I can say however, that he left town for two weeks after our first meeting, and then ignored my phone calls for four weeks after his voice mail... said he had returned. (His absence was for a basketball conference.) For the four weeks he was in town and ignoring me he sent none of the forms I needed to complete and finally called me after I left four messages asking for guidance, threatened to go to his offices to see if was still in business, contacted his partner with the same concern, and told him it looked as though I was going to have to contact the authorities regarding the retainer I had left with him on my initial visit. He suddenly called the next day with the same flat, lost and doubtful excuses (delivered in the same tone) heard from many college students trying to come up with something to say that would "float" when they knew they'd been caught delivering an untruth with no good excuse to accomodate it. I'm in the process of deciding whether or not to stay with him and will update these remarks as necessary.

We found David Vis to be an excellent attorney. He helped us make a difficult decision and set us up with a new financial future. He has a practical perspective toward handling debt. His knowledge of Washington bankruptcy law and his responsiveness toward his clients is commendable. We would reco...mmend him to anyone.

David Vis helped us get through a difficult time. David was very understanding of our situation and got us through it the best and most inexpensive way he could. I am sending my son to him as my son is going to be going through a divorce and unfortunately for my son the last 6 years of marriage cos...t him his good credit rating. I would not send my son to someone I did not trust.

My wife and I were in a tough spot. Our business was failing, a victim of tough economic times and intense competitive pressures. Our house had been mortgaged repeatedly to supply working capital for the business in the hopes of a miraculous turnaround and now we were going to lose them both. When... we turned to David for help, we were stressed, embarrassed and in unfamiliar waters - looking at bankruptcy. From this low point, David helped us understand the process, showed us how we could protect some of our assets and helped us see a way through to a new beginning. He worked hard on our behalf and was constantly making suggestions about potential avenues for us to explore with respect to trying to keep our home, etc. He called banks and recommended friendly executives at a local Title Company as part of his advocacy. I had phone conversations with him in the evenings, on weekends, etc. In short, David really honored his commitment to us. Sure, he's busy. No surprise there - considering his work ethic, expertise and generosity of spirit he's in great demand. But with his help, we came through this difficult process with a clear understanding of how the system works, optimism for the future and our dignity intact. It's a tough road, no doubt about that but if you've got to go down it, you want David Vis beside you.
