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!

As soon as I met Ms. Culp I knew I was in good hands. She explained all details and answered all my questions. After we went over all information she said she would handle my case pro bono. I was so surprised I cried. Cindy her assistant was very helpful and thorough. She checked and double checked a...ll questionable material. I was very pleased with her. If I needed Ms. Culp again or a friend needed her I would not hesitate to call on Ms. Culp and the rest of her firm.

Professional & Compassionate

Two words not often used to describe a lawyer. Heather & Cindy were terrific in guiding us through a difficult and lengthy process. Anytime I had questions they were answered quickly and in non legal terms. I highly recommend Heather and Cindy if you are in a tough spot even if you need a consultatio...n.

EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL AND TRUSTWORTHY

I have the highest respect for attorney Heather Culp and her paralegal Cynthia Baker. They both have the knowledge and experience to guide her clients through the bankruptcy process. Heather took the time to listen to my particular situation and then she explained in detail the alternatives I had s...o that I could make the best decision. I found Ms. Culp to be very honest, precise, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her.

Expert Attorney and Staff

It was difficult for my husband and me to face the reality of bankruptcy. So Heather's compassion and reassurance was just as important to us as her expert knowledge of bankruptcy. She was great! Heather and her paralegal, Cynthia Baker, were meticulously organized and clearly explained the process... and all of the options. They worked very hard through all the details and were very prompt in communicating and handling every aspect of our case. Heather just seems instinctively professional and is genuinely caring. Her way is to help you feel at ease and confident, which makes the experience much less stressful. We highly recommend Heather and her staff for anyone going through bankruptcy.
