Clarke Balcom

I owned and operated a successful small business and had a higher than average personal income. Life's circumstances over time had created a situation in which I found myself dealing with insurmountable business and personal debts. Clarke's compassionate, professional, and personable team treated m...e with dignity and were reassuring that a legal remedy to my circumstances may be possible. Clarke's expertise and experience in the business and personal debt aspects of bankruptcy law resulted in a successful discharge of a large sum under Chapter 7. I will be forever grateful for the fresh start that I have been given be the efforts of Clarke and his team. I would recommend this attorney to anyone facing the prospects of filing a bankruptcy.

My husband and I were faced for the first time in our lives with a foreclosure and overwhelming debt, which was incurred during the months we were trying to keep our home. Mr. Balcom met with us at length to assess our situation and made specific recommendations . Together we arrived at a plan of... action, which avoided bankruptcy but settled the largest portion of the debt burden. We have worked these past months with Chris Flamm to carry out our negotiations with creditors. We could not recommend her more highly! She is a patient, tireless and extremely effective negotiator. We are very fortunate to be working with this law firm.

Going through a divorce is a sad, scary and lonely time. Not only is it stressful it is also financially and emotionally taxing. Four years ago, shortly after filing for divorce, I knew I could not keep our beautiful Vancouver Washington farm. It was too much work for a single mom. So I set out to se...ll it. I found out, as so many Americans have, that my home and farm was not worth what I purchased it for. I had so few options and bankruptcy did not seem like a real answer. After more than 2 years of struggling with relators who did not really know how to handle the short sale process and a bank who was not cooperating, I got lucky and found Clarke. When I met with Clarke he was personable and most of all understanding. It took his team a short 6 months to finish what relators could not in over 2 years. Thank you Clarke for your amazing work on my behalf. I might have had to file bankruptcy if it was not for you and your knowledgeable staff. I am forever indebted.

Clarke's firm helped me handle a big company that wanted to charge me a lot of money for something I had not yet received. They did the legal research and found out I was right. They wrote a great letter covering all the issues. The problem was handled with in a few weeks! Thanks so much for your hel...p!

My husband and I were going through some financial difficulties so we sought out Clarke's help he was great and although we did not have to retain him a of now he still answered my emails via phone calls and helped me when no other attorney would over the phone,I cannot thank him enough for taking ti...me to answer our questions and caring about our situation.Thanks again
