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.

Grateful Chapter 13 Client

David Hill has done such a good job working on my financial situation. He is a knowledgeable, proactive, empathetic attorney that has helped me more than anything I could imagine. I highly recommend him and his staff, who are very good communicating action and individual responsibilities throughout... the process of claiming Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

We highly recommend David Hill

The economy had crashed and so had our investments and business. Most of our colleagues had long since declared bankruptcy. Associates recommended we talk to David Hill. We are so thankful that we did. David is very knowledgeable, professional, and handled our situation with empathy and great care. T...his was an incredible relief for us. After 3 1/2 years, David still handles our questions and concerns with warmth and professionalism. We very highly recommend David Carl Hill.

EXCELLENT!!!!!

David Hill did a GREAT job in handling my case and coordinating with other attorneys for asset protection. I wish I had gone to him earlier. My case was considered by the court to be complicated spanning multiple disciplines and jurisdictions. Mr .Hill worked quickly and was very knowledgeable. A...dditionally his staff was excellent. Communication was not lacking in any way. EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
