The "Buck" stops here....

If you are shopping around for an attorney to file for bankruptcy, look no further than Heather Culp. You will not find a better one anywhere. I came to realize that she is the attorney that other bankruptcy attorneys consult when they don't know. Her assistant Cindy Baker is also second to none. The...y are thorough, direct and no nonsense and will give you the best opportunity for a successful filing as was my experience. I might add that it was not nearly as stressful as I had anticipated. It was apparent early on that I was in good hands as she impresses with a strong calm confidence. I can't say enough...

Satisfied Client

Ms Culp represented me in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. She clearly explained everything as she walked me through the process. She and her legal assistant, Ms Baker, were very supportive and encouraging to me, a senior citizen. Ms Culp is an excellent attorney, smart, compassionate and down-to-earth. She ...promptly responded to my many, many questions. She made me feel like my case was just as important to her as it was to me. I highly recommend her.

Chapter 7

We owned a business that should have been filed under LLC but was a Chapter S and we should not have personally guaranteed the leases we had. When there were discrepancies with the Landlords when it came time to renew, in each case the ownership of the spaces had changed. The options were not guarant...eed and the rents were impossible to make. Our additional location was under construction and the contractor walked off the job just days before the final inspection. All these financial factors fell back on us personally. Our personal attorney recommended Heather Culp to help us walk through our financial and legal options. She sat us down in the initial visit and reviewed the options. We worked with her assistant Cynthia and developed an overall status of our finances and next steps. We met again to decide on our best avenue with our business failing as it was. She took time, handled each legal situation separately. She was professional and thorough. She helped us put together a lengthly financial status with forms that she normally uses and adapted them to our situation. Her assistant Cynthia helped us with research. She kept in contact with us. Together they walked us through the entire process with support, assistance and followup at every turn. I could not have felt more professionally and personally satisfied.

Amazing Experience

Heather was the second attorney I consulted with for my bankruptcy. She was thorough and communicative, answered my many questions, and was honest in what to expect. I hired her, and would recommend her and her team to any considering the process. It helped so much to have her on my side. The paperwo...rk wasn't overwhelming and the response time to my questions was a large factor in feeling well taken care of.

Professional and Thorough

Heather and Cindy helped us through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy with some circumstances that were a little out of the ordinary but never failed to make sure every single detail was accounted for. They both responded to our emailed questions promptly and did a great job explaining the process. Would r...ecommend without hesitation.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
