Phenomenal

One word: PHENOMENAL! Heather and Cindy are two of the most efficient, knowledgeable, productive attorney/paralegal duo I have ever met. Going into bankruptcy I had a lot of reservations and fear, but due to Heather's vast body of legal knowledge I felt relief and security. Filing for bankruptcy is o...ne of the scariest, embarrassing, frustrating experiences an adult can face. You feel as if you're walking around with a scarlet "B" on your chest and a huge amount of self-doubt. Thanks to the professionalism and compassion of such a dynamic duo I have learned that I can breathe easy and walk around with my head held high. As the French say: "C'est la Vie". If you're in the market for an attorney who will listen to your worries, offer valuable advice, not further break your already broken bank, and possess a intellectual acumen rarely seen in today's society then give Heather Culp a call. I am eternally grateful to Heather and her wonderful paralegal Cindy. From start to finish they made my process seamless and kept me informed and relaxed the entire time. These two ladies are a bankruptcy DREAM TEAM. I am now headed on a road to financial recovery and could not have had such a pleasurable experience if it had not been for them. Thanks Heather & Cindy.

Highly Recommend

Heather Culp, of Essex Richards Law Firm is an extremely knowledgeable and professional attorney. From the beginning, she patiently explained the bankruptcy process to me step by step. She did a wonderful job on keeping me updated on all procedures so I always knew what was going on as the case pro...gressed, and what the next steps were and time frame it would happen. Heather and her wonderful paralegal Cindy, were always available for direction and guidance when I needed them and always responded in a timely manner. Cindy is courteous, organized, responsive and always follows through with what she says she’s going to do. Therefore, I highly recommend Heather and her staff to anyone in need of a highly skilled attorney.

Heather Culp will get you through it!

My journey with Heather Culp began in February 2015. I scheduled a consultation with Heather to learn about Bankruptcy and to see what my options were at the time. Heather highly recommended I file for bankruptcy, but for many reasons of my own, I just wasn't ready. Knowing now what I didn't know ...then, I should have listened to Heather right then and there. Eventually, I came to terms with the fact that filing for bankruptcy was truly my only option. So the second leg of my journey with Heather and Cindy Baker, Heather's paralegal, began in January 2016. My case turned out to be one with many, many moving parts which made it much more time consuming than a more cut and dry case. For me it was an emotional roller coaster - one I was ready to get off as soon as possible. Heather and Cindy provided me with excellent guidance and true understanding throughout the whole process. Because my case was so out of the ordinary, it took longer to get my discharge. However, with Heather and Cindy's hard work and attention to detail, we finally made it to the end. Thanks to them I am able to start 2017 with a clean slate. It's a great feeling of relief and a fortunate opportunity to get back on my feet. If you are considering filing for bankruptcy, I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with Heather. She will provide you with everything you need to make an educated decision and if you should decide to file, she and Cindy will get you through it in a very professional manner. Best of luck to you!

I would like to say that Heather Culp and Cythinia Baker are AWESOME. I wanted to express my gratitude for their dedication for my case. I am grateful to Mrs. Culp and Mrs. Baker took all the stress and restored everything out for me. Your faith, knowledge and determination were something that sol...ves my worries. Thank you!!

The Best of the Best!

Heather is not only a brilliant attorney, but also a thoughtful and caring person. A rare jewel! She helped me find the best solution to a serious financial problem and ensured the best outcome by using her skill, knowledge and experience. Her courtroom presence is respected. This really put me at ...ease in an uneasy situation. I would recommend Heather to family and friends without any hesitation. She and Cindy (her assistant) are a force to be reckoned with!
