This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The best experience!

Let me start by saying that Mr. Wilson was a true life saver! I was at the end of my rope before I met him. He is very helpful, knowledgeable, reasonably priced, and flexible. Bankruptcy was something I had never considered and I was afraid because I've heard horrible stories... When I walked out of ...his office I felt at peace for the first time in years!!! I'm extremely grateful and I even got to keep my assets. Thanks Tim!

Extremely Helpful and Very Kind

I called to request a consultation late on a Friday, the attorney was not available at that time. He called me back first thing on the following Saturday. I was really surprised as I had not expected to hear back until Monday. Tim provided me with suggestions as to what I should do and also provi...ded me with the needed steps to take to move through the dispute on my own. He said that hiring an attorney would be more than the amount I was dealing with in regards to the dispute. His explanation was great and made me realize that this wasn't something that I had to freak out about and that it could be dealt with regardless of the outcome. He also didn't make me feel bad about the situation, which I appreciated. If for some reason I need to file bankruptcy in the future (I hope not) or if I know someone who is in need of a bankruptcy attorney, Tim will be who I go to or suggest to others.

Really good Attorney which is hard to find

Always there when you need him. Returns calls and cares about his clients. I would highly recommend Tim for anyone in financial trouble. He helped us save our home when others did nothing. Thanks again Tim Jeff

Honest attorney I’ve ever met in my life

This guy won’t fool you and do the wrong alternative for you so he could keep his earns. He will explain things and tell you everything honestly without reservation or hidden scam to benefit his pocket. Thank you Mr. Wilson and God bless you n ur family ✨ Connie S Auburn
