Once in a while, we come across a business that operates more like a family business. Mr. David Vandyke at "Bird and Vandyke Law Office" is that kind of attorney who treats customers like family. I have met Mr. Vandyke last year while going through financial difficulties when I decided to file for bankruptcy to manage my creditors and the mounting debts that I had then. Mr. Vandyke's approach at the beginning was a wait-and-see approach to give other options a chance to work before resorting to bankrupty. Based on his recommendations, I started talking to my creditors on my own and I managed to handle the ones that were in my name without a need to file bankruptcy. I went back to see Mr. Vandyke again to give him a status and to ask a few questions. He was always kind and generous with his time. A year and a half have passed after my initial visit to his office before going for the bankruptcy option as the last resort. This approach put me on a fast track for financial recovery and offered me a chance of repairing my credit faster than I would have otherwise. Bankruptcy was the last option that we used after all failed. Mr Vandyke treated me like family and made recommendations that proved fruitful in my case. He took the time to meet with me and to provide me with the information that I needed to lessen the damage and hasten my financial recovery. Today, my family and I are better off due to his in-depth recommendation and honest approach. Mr. Vandyke's goal was to help me recover with the least damage possible. There are not many professionals in the law field who take their time to consult me as he did and who are more truthful, sincere, credible, and responsible than Mr. Vandyke as an attorney and confidant. I am fortunate to cross path with Mr. Vandyke and to solicit his help in resolving my financial situation. read more
