Excellent and Compassionate Help

My wife and I went through an terrible financial period which ended in filing for bankruptcy. Heather came highly recommended and guided us through the entire process. I was so thankful for her knowledge and compassion. We had never even been late with a payment and suddenly we were in a hole we c...ouldn't climb out of. It was a dark time for us. Heather and her assistant Cynthia were always available for our many questions and made every effort to lift us up during the process. We make an unreserved recommendation for their services.

Highly Recommend

Heather Culp and her paralegal (Cynthia Baker) are a incredible team and help me with a clear understanding of the bankruptcy process. They both explained everything to me about the process in detail. They are extremely knowledgeable and handled the process with professionalism and confidence. Hea...ther did a GREAT job in representing me both effectively and professionally. I would recommend Heather if you want a fair legal outcome. Thanks Again, Jason

Chapter 13 services

Heather and her paralegal Cindy have been there for me for the past 5.5 years during a very difficult financial time in my life due to child custody legal costs which drove me into bankruptcy. Their knowledge and advice protected me from creditors trying to profit more from my unfortunate situation. ... They made a point to stay in touch during the long five year bankruptcy period to see how things are going, and helped me with upcoming changes in circumstances. Likewise, anytime I had a question Heather and Cindy would not hesitate to respond to my annoying emails, usually within a couple hours. That's impeccable for legal service, which remained consistent for all 5 years. I'm happy to say my life is back on track, I'm happily remarried, our first child was born happy and healthy 6 days ago, and we are closing on a great family home in 5 days. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. Heather and Cindy helped protect me while I got my life back on track. With all sincerity, thank you!

Bankruptcy

No words could truly explain what Heather has done for me as my bankruptcy attorney. After a long three year struggle to financially separate myself from my ex-husband, I had no other option than to file for bankruptcy. Heather first began by thoroughly explaining the different options I had and wh...ich would be best for me to ensure not only my financial freedom but the security of no longer being harassed by my ex-husband and his attorneys. Heather and her firm actively responded to my many questions about the process. Her endless knowledge and years of experience were apparent and showed in her high quality work. Since my case was not a traditional chapter 13 filing, Heather put in endless hours of research and work to ensure the success of my case. Even after numerous attempts by my ex-husband to object my bankruptcy filing, Heather stayed calm, assertive, and was always honest and transparent about the possible outcomes. A chapter 13 bankruptcy is stressful but more so a emotionally devastating experience. Heather sympathized to the emotional wear that this process can drag you through. She and her firm were endlessly supportive. There is no attorney with the same honest, hard working and loyal character as Heather.

  • 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.
