“I thank you so much for everything you, Mr. West and the staff have done for me. You have helped so many in my family, now I do not know if that is a good thing or bad in a way. Now you are getting ready to help another family member of mine. All of you are true professionals in every word. Sometimes in our busy lives we forget to let people know the job they do. I make sure and take the time.”
“I was referred to Mr. West by my cousin, who is in the title business. I was very uneasy about filing bankruptcy and am glad my cousin referred me here. I was treated very well by Mr. West and his staff. I felt very safe and secure with Mr. West as my attorney.”
“I am 74 years old, widowed for 18 years and, for years, have struggled with the financial ramifications of my late husband’s medical expenses. Like many people, we were not financially prepared for catastrophic illness. I spent far too long trying to recover because I could not face the embarrassment and sense of failure of bankruptcy.My daughters finally convinced me just to go “talk” to Rick West having known of him and his reputation as a compassionate and knowledgeable attorney. I was extremely apprehensive about the meeting but from the first handshake, I knew I had found the answer to years of anxiety and fearfulness. Rick was helpful, calming, answered all my questions, walked me through the entire process and made me realize there was no shame, no fault and that I was capable of managing my own affairs.The day of the hearing, Rick was thorough, prepared and made me feel confident and self-reliant. Everything happened just as Rick explained. Since then I have had no repercussions from my decision and, most importantly, no regrets. I now have a great sense of relief and peace of mind. If I do have a regret, it is that I waited so long to find the courage to call Rick.”
“You recently handled my bankruptcy proceedings and I have received the discharge papers from the court. I wanted to write and express my appreciation for the courteous and professional manner in which my wife and I were treated by you and your entire staff. I was always treated with respect and all questions answered by your office staff whenever I called during the process. On a more personal note, if you remember, you gave me some advice about a personal problem I had been dealing with since childhood. I have taken your advice and sought help in that matter and it has been very helpful. Once again, thank you for your guidance and help during a difficult period.”
“I wanted to thank you and your office for you assistance in filling bankruptcy. You and your office staff made me feel very comfortable and relieved all my worries and embarrassment in filing bankruptcy. I also wanted to let you know that Mr. Malkiewicz was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. My case was discharged in January 2006 and since the discharge date, my credit score has improved by 100 points.”
“I like many others found myself overwhelmed by my debt. I worried bankruptcy would make me surrender my property. I was so wrong! When your attorney is organized things go very smoothly, which takes a lot of stress away. Compassion and competency were the two things that made my bankruptcy go smoothly.”
“I just wanted you to know that your staff is the best, and the most cordial and professional in the industry. When a person comes into your office, they feel bad enough and you and your staff makes them feel welcomed and unashamed.”
“When my wife and I decided we needed to talk to a lawyer about filing bankruptcy we were desperate, frustrated and humiliated. Mr. West and his highly professional staff always treated us with respect and courtesy. From our first meeting through our meeting with the creditors, Mr. West inspired in us a great deal of confidence. He was always very candid and straightforward, and told us clearly, what he was going to do, when he was going to do it and what we needed to do. Throughout the process, everything happened as he said it would. He and the staff made the process simple and easy to follow, and he always answered our questions with patience, and in a timely manner. We were of course very worried about what this bankruptcy would mean for us in the short and long run, but from the day we met him, my wife and I knew that we were in very capable hands.”
“When I came to you, I was mortified that I had to take the steps that I did. I was just plain lucky that I picked you out of the newspaper. Upon our initial interview, I knew that you were dedicated to your profession. It is the only reason I went ahead with your services. I have never been sorry.”
“I wanted to thank you and your staff with my recent bankruptcy case. You helped make a difficult decision less stressful. It was not an easy step to take. Your advice, organization and helpfulness made this step less painful. Thank you.”
“Just wanted to wish you the best for the holidays and thank you for all you and your staff did for me to help give me a fresh start. I’ve since been able to get a 2004 car, save some money and have some peace of mind.”
