Outstanding counselor

I have had the great pleasure of being referred to Attorney Fred E. Nix at a time when I thought I would be homeless due to loss of employment for more than a year and no options left to negotiate with my mortgage servicer. After 17 years of owning my home I was now in free fall with eminent foreclo...sure, even after mediation (not beneficial for homeowners). As the attorney representing the servicer had started to apply dual-tracking to my loan i,e, I am convinced I am working out a plan to bring my default to current as I now have employment, not quite so- my home was in the pipeline to be sold within 2-3 days. At the referral of another esteemed attorney I contacted Attorney Nix and within that time frame was able to SAVE MY HOME. He presented the best options for me and I left his office after one (1) hour skipping and completely relieved. The stress of losing my home and being destitute was no more a serious threat for me. His office deserves kudos- the staff is professional and well-informed. I will NEVER forget the diligence and dedication to my case for a comparable fee. It's almost unimaginable in these difficult times. I cannot thank them enough for giving another chance at retaining the American Dream of homeownership. Finally- Prevention, Intervention and Retention is their first priority. I recommend Attorney Fred E. Nix highly. Much appreciated

Knowledgeable and personable attorney!

I had the misfortune of needing to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Fred was patient with me and walked me through the cumbersome paperwork and helped me understand what to expect. I am grateful!

My attorney was great, Frederick answered all my questions and kept me informed. He defiantly made it as easy and unstressful as possible. Also even after my case was discharged he kept me informed of any situations.

Competent,Professional and Caring

Fred is a wonderful person to work with. He is very professional and helps you feel comfortable with the Bankruptcy process. He is on top of everything that needs to be handled and knows what to expect and how to prepare. He kept my husband and I informed and was easy to reach by phone or email. ...Fred always reminded us of papers we needed to finish, court dates, and bankruptcy courses to complete. We would feel very confident recommending Fred to others.
