Hope Law made filing bankruptcy easy, stress free and affordable. No frills no hassleread more

Bankruptcy isn't fun, not for anyone. There are so many feelings and emotions involved, even as one…read morenears the point where they begin considering this "last resort option". Not only that, but it can be extremely hard to even know where to honestly begin reviewing your options! This is because of the immense haze, depression, and overall mental fog and fatigue that comes hand in hand with being in such a bad financial position. It's tough to step back and look at things from a clear-headed point of view... especially when every day feels like you're ... DROWNING. This was me about a year and a half ago... Stressed. Depressed. Ashamed. Stressed some more. Living a day-to-day that was mostly spent trying to hide the truth (from myself and others). The truth being the dire situation I had now found myself. A deep dark hole that I had slowly crawled into, created by decisions I made over the period of many years of course. My daily life at that time was one of dodging debt collectors, using payday loan places to pay past due bills, not paying bills in general... even selling things on FB and Craigslist just to "get by". Like a super shitty groundhog day that keeps repeating itself, and during this phase it can certainly start to feel as if there is NO HOPE. That no one can save you, not even yourself. However, this was just another LIE I was telling myself. It's one that "fear-brain" preaches to us pretty constantly because at this point it's was now pretty much running my life. The days get darker and the hole gets deeper. Time seems to go even faster and bills seem to be due sooner. Past due notices, repossession threats, letters and lawsuits in the mail, and a phone that you don't even want to have near you anymore because of the endless calls from robots, collectors, agencies, etc... Lucky (and life-changing) for me; my personal "breakdown" moment came in the form of a letter in the mail. It was from a bank that had now owned my truck and a huge credit line I used with my business (which was now very OUT OF BUSINESS). They weren't the only ones wanting to go courtroom with me, but they were going to take away my only transportation at that time, and seek to start docking my wages to make up for the $30,000 or so dollars I owed them... That day, at some point in the day I actually asked myself -- "Where am I really going here? What are my real options? How might this affect my life, both now and down the road?" etc.. Then, a little later that day I made an appointment that definitely altered the course of my life. Truly. I set fear aside just long enough to attempt to change course, and get help from someone who can (and did) answer these questions. Now, this type of change doesn't happen in a day, but I can say for sure this is what Michelle did for me, and with me. Even in the first sitting my whole perspective, attitude, and feelings about things started to slowly shift. Her offices are small, and comfortable. I didn't feel intimidated at all, or out of place. Even after a few minutes of sitting with her I could feel tension begin to ease. She answered everything so clearly, and I could sense her understanding and empathy for my situation. Also, that she was approaching this from a place of objectivity, reason, and absolutely NO JUDGEMENT. After a few discussions, we began to really move through my options, all of my debts, and the process involved with filing the actual bankruptcy. And when I say move through, she really does do EVERYTHING. All she needed was info on my debtors, and last papertrail, etc, and then she handled them, ALL OF THEM. She quite literally got them all off of my back within what seemed like a few weeks, and this alone was enough to change my daily reality. It's incredible what that barrage of collections does to our mental health, etc. Michelle rounded up amounts, spoke to the right people, and before I knew it we were in a courtroom negotiating my way "out". She sat down with the creditors in a special meeting, and was able to find a way that I not only kept my truck, but developed a special pay plan where I was to pay back only a percentage of what I owed - all with small payments over the course of five years. Also, her rate on the filing was less than I thought it would be. Very reasonable. In the past year my life has still been up and down, but I have been able to finally CLIMB OUT. I have found actually happiness and joy again; enjoying days where I am not haunted by the nightmare I had previously created for myself. Not only that, but she has still been there for me with help and guidance whenever needed (which has been more than a few times!) She always responds quickly, and with such honesty and sincerity. I have never felt put off or like I was a nuisance in any way. So yes, there is HOPE (sorry, pun intended! ;) and since Yelp is now cutting my little novel review off (word limit!) I'll end with a few simple ones from the heart... THANK YOU MICHELLE! =)

Do not hire Lewis Williams or Flexer Law. I hired him for a family law matter in Davidson County,…read moreand in my experience it was the worst professional service I have ever paid for. His paralegal drafted and filed a 16-count contempt petition in my case under his name. It was obvious to me he had never read my parenting plan or the contempt petition his own office filed: 8 of those counts had to be withdrawn. When I pointed out what the plan actually said, Lewis wrote to his own paralegal, "If this is what the parenting plan really says, and we're going to have to change that language in the petition again." Half the petition was gone by the time it was amended. That's what you get at $475 an hour. The drafts they sent me to approve had basic facts wrong. I went through every one line by line and sent back annotated corrections, correct dates, documentation, and timelines. Then they called me again and again asking the same questions. It was clear to me nobody read a word of it, and most of my corrections never made it into the filings. I was doing my own lawyer's job and paying him for the privilege. He pushed me toward things I didn't want to do and never explained why, including asking for more than I was ever seeking. In my opinion that made the case uglier, dragged it out for months, and cost me a lot of time and money. One count was thrown out because his paralegal put the abbreviation of a resort on the petition where my daughter's initials belonged. He then tried to blame me for his paralegal's mistake. A legal citation was wrong too, and opposing counsel used it to try to get every count dismissed. Nobody at the firm caught either one. All 8 counts were dismissed. The worst part: I gave him the key evidence in my case, records from the U.S. State Department, at our very first meeting. They directly contradicted statements made to the State Department. He sat on them for five months. Twenty-one days before the hearing his office told me they couldn't be used without authentication and asked ME to handle it. Nine days out, his paralegal wrote that she didn't know how and there wasn't time. I googled it and sent them the exact process the same afternoon. It took me five minutes. I called and asked him to move the hearing. He didn't. The evidence was never used. He asked me how to pronounce my daughter's name, which is two syllables, then got it wrong for an entire six-hour hearing. He asked again before the next hearing and got it wrong for four more hours. When things went badly he sat there with his arms crossed. To me he looked like he had already quit on my case. Opposing counsel, Rachel Upshaw of Miller Upshaw Family Law, was prepared, organized, and professional, and she ran circles around him. Watching the two of them side by side, I knew I had hired the wrong lawyer. After losing, he moved to withdraw. While he was still my attorney of record, he told me in writing he would not file anything else for me and that I should file it myself. So I did, with no lawyer, and I got my daughter's initials right, something Lewis and his paralegals could not do. He bills $475 an hour, and over the course of this case he billed me almost $30,000. In my opinion his work wasn't worth a third of that. If you need a family law attorney, hire Rachel Upshaw, Morgan Smith, or honestly anyone else before Lewis Williams. You know a law firm is terrible when I'm recommending my ex-wife's lawyer over Flexer Law.
