A dark time made so much better

Several years ago, I entered a dark time in my life and did not know where to turn for help. A friend suggested Heather Culp. From day one after meeting with her, there was hope. Of course she was knowledgeable, but also showed concern to guide me thru the process. Today, I am in much better financia...l shape, as I am nearing retirement. Thank you Heather Culp and Cindy Baker !

Kindness matters

Heather and her paralegal, Cindy, not only helped me through bankruptcy, they also helped me through my young daughter's illness. When they heard she was sick and I wouldn't be able to work, they reached out to the bankruptcy court to give me a reprieve while she was in hospital. It's been a rough hi...ll to climb since then, but because of the kindness and knowledge of people like Heather, I've successfully completed bankruptcy and my daughter is a healthy tween! Thank you so much, Heather & Cindy.

Posted by Elizabeth | November 13, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

You couldn't ask for a better, more prepared attorney.

Heather and Cindy made the chapter 7 process as painless as it could be. No one wants to deal with a bankruptcy, but if you have to a would 1000 percent recommend Heather. She explained exactly what would happen every step of the way and relieved any anxiety I had throughout the process. They made su...re I had everything in order every step of the way and that I was completely prepared. I certainly hope I don't ever need to use her services again but I will send anyone I know who needs to her way, and I would certainly use her for any other matters she handles!

Best lawyer in North Carolina

I was very nervous about filing chapter 7. I went to two other lawyers in the area. I did not like them at all which now made me even more nervous from the information they provide me. So I did more research and found heather and Cindy. I made a appointment Heather made the experience so easy and pai...nless. Than I met Cindy after the consultation. Wow is all I can say. They made me feel so comfortable, I gave them some information and the process was over. Never once did I get stressed out or upset like the other lawyers I had previously seen. I can’t say enough good things. Thank you both for all your hard work.

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.
