Chapter 7 Process

David Hill and his associates were professional and timely in all interactions. When I sent emails with questions, the responses were returned timely.

Extremely Talented

Mr. Hill was extremely professional and expeditious in handling my Chapter 7 bankruptcy case. Additionally, he was able to get a huge settlement from the IRS for me. Last...all of this was done for me at a very affordable cost. No hesitation in recommending David Hill to any and all.

Best Bankruptcy Lawyer In Kitsap

The only reason i am not giving his office 5 stars is because the receptionist acts like you are inconveniencing her and the legal assistant loses paperwork. I did not enjoy interacting with either of them. The original receptionist was so much nicer. David was fantastic and worth every penny. He ...was very knowledgeable and put my fears at ease. I would recommend him to anyone facing bankruptcy.

An Amazing Resource During an Extremely Troubling Time

My wife and I had quite a tough start to 2017. A family tragedy, lower-income job, and prior mismanagement of finances brought about the perfect storm. We'd been struggling to get our finances together for some time prior to 2017 and the aforementioned circumstances became the tipping point. We neede...d to consult a bankruptcy lawyer. A co-worker recommended David C. Hill and after meeting during the initial consultation, I knew that we were in good hands. His attention to detail, patience, and years of experience are exactly what you need when faced with such a difficult time in life. His ability to help you remain calm during what is otherwise one of the more stress-inducing moments in life is a godsend. He responded to emails, kept us up to speed on every step of the process, and made it all as painless as possible. His confidence helps a ton, as he tells it how it is and you are able to rest assured that things will go as planned. As long as you are completely forthright and do what is asked of you when it is asked of you, you'll be fine. Mr. Hill, Brandi, Natausha, and the entire staff were all extremely helpful during our Chapter 7 case. We recently received our discharge and are able to move forward. We learned about ourselves during this process, and the Law Offices of David C. Hill played an instrumental part in it all. Thank you for being so willing to help and put up with me. I know that I asked a LOT of questions. I am a stickler for details and you allowed me to be myself, while still letting me know when I needed to relax and trust the process. I will recommend any and everyone to you, though my hope is that my friends and family do not get themselves into situations where BK is necessary. If you need a bankruptcy attorney in the Kitsap County area, you would be well advised to at least contact David C. Hill and have a conversation with him. One conversation is all that it took for me, and I am confident that you'll experience the same amazing treatment that my family and I did.

Best service in Port Orchard

I was nervous about the bankruptcy process, but Mr. Hill was able to put my mind at ease. His decades of experience was very comforting. If you are faced with the dreaded decision of bankruptcy, you owe it to yourself to sit on the other side of Mr. Hill's desk. At the point where you realize you hav...e no other option, the last thing you want to hear is that you need $1,600 before you can go any further. Thankfully, Mr. Hill takes payments (it saved my bacon). One thing that really stood out was how the "Hill team" was always available, emails where answered that day, or first thing in the morning. If you are reading this contemplating bankruptcy, take it from a guy who has gone through the process, It will be over before you know it. Thank you Mr. Hill for your service.
