David E. Vis

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).

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.
