I was in a lot of debt due to a car accident and being in between jobs, and the only way out was chapter 7. Max was kind, compassionate and has the patience of a lamb. He walked me through the entire process and showed empathy whenever I was nervous or freaking out. He couldn't be a better lawyer. I hope I dont have anymore legal issues, but if I ever do, he will always be my go-to. Thank you so much.

Max has great empathy and he's the best attorney you should consider 100%

My husband and I recently had to make the tough decision of filing bankruptcy…read more We own a small business which got hit hard from the hurricanes and winter storms like everyone else in our area. I spent years fighting with Bank of America trying to modify our mortgage. They refused to help us because we paid our mortgage every month. So we decided to short sell. But after 2 yrs of attempting to short sell (got 4 offers, but Bank of America did nothing for months and each buyer eventually moved on), we had enough and went to Attorney Pletter for help. We spent our adult life getting our credit scores over 750 and now we were opting to foreclose on our first home. We walked into Attorney Tim Pletter's office for the first time last year feeling ashamed, embarrassed, depressed, nervous and were probably at the worst point our marriage could get. When we left his office we felt HOPEFUL for the first time in YEARS. Tim was very straightforward. He didn't sugarcoat the situation and got us to focus on what was most important and showed us how to handle each issue. He made sure our choices didn't force us to lose our business. He was patient with our own marital misunderstandings and communication faults. And he helped us get our life back. We foreclosed on our home in November and are already experiencing an entirely new life-including a stronger marriage and positive relationship with money. There is no way we could possibly be where we are today if it wasn't for Tim, Samantha and Donna. I obviously recommend Attorney Pletter 100%.

I went to this lawyer seeking representation after being served a summons. I was very afraid and in…read moretears, hoping for guidance and compassion. Unfortunately, my experience was deeply disheartening and disappointing. Instead of offering understanding, he was very cold. he told me, "Don't come in here with the tears," and "I don't think I can help you." He also mentioned his own family problems during the consultation and said the case could cost thousands of dollars without giving me a clear answer. When I asked for clarification, he cut me off with "Stop it." I left the office feeling hurt, confused, and unsupported. I understand that lawyers are busy and may face their own challenges, but clients deserve respect, empathy, and clear communication, especially when they are going through a stressful legal matter. It was one of the most discouraging and cold experiences I've had while seeking legal help. Needless to say he told me he'd get back to me and I haven't heard anything from him yet!

I want to thank this firm thus far for guiding me to Chapter 7 after considering Chapter 13…read morethinking 13 was the only way. I'm a life long musician and was worried about losing all of my musical belongings. They assured me that my musical assets will be protected. While the case can't be filed until payment is made in full (it's just shy of $3k for my case, probably the normal), they gave me peace of mind that things won't tumble down on me prior to when I can pay them in full, and that there is plenty of time. $500 retainer paid, I'll probably be able to come up with the rest in the next 2-3 months hopefully. Paralegals seemed very competent from my observations which is very important and often overlooked in a law firm. I'm at the beginning phases of clearing up my financial mess, but I finally feel confident there's a way out that won't strip me of assets belonging to a craft I'm deeply involved with and care about. We'll see how things play out, but I feel very relieved thus far and my interactions with the firm were very positive. Read other reviews, my advice to meeting with any lawyer is going in with a clear head, despite what may be going on - sometimes life doesn't allow that though (like maybe an unexpected death in the family), but I've had months to process my feelings prior to making the appointment and knew what I was getting into. I get it can feel daunting if it's your first time seeing a lawyer, but they're there to help you. Just let them. There's still work to do, but I feel this firm can handle it. As far as a bankruptcy case, it makes total sense for them wanting to be paid in full before filing for you.

Let me just state for the record that Andrew Balbus is fan-freaking-tastic!…read more I am certain that he has helped many, many people, just like myself. The circumstances leading up to someone needing to seek bankruptcy counsel are horrible. The amount of guilt and shame surrounding it can feel so overwhelming. I think it stops many people from seeking assistance. Andrew Balbus is an absolute gem in this respect. He takes an uncomfortable situation and helps you figure out how to get through it. He never makes you feel ignorant or irresponsible. He has exactly the right combination of compassion and professionalism; combined with a sarcastic and witty sense of humor that really helps you to feel at ease through the whole ordeal. Andrew clearly cares about his clients. He goes to bat for you and makes you feel like you are important and worthy of his time. I had some tricky student loan issues, due to my school having closed and a raft of seemingly impossible conundrums. He got it all sorted out, far better than I could have imagined was possible. I only wish I had done this years ago, rather than wasting so much time drowning in debt and stress. It's not worth the mental & emotional toll that puts on you. You owe it to yourself and your family to call him today. Thank you, Atty. Balbus. You are literally a life saver. I am so very grateful!
