I was full of trepidation at the thought of filing bankruptcy. As a hard working, responsible person medical debt brought me to seek relief from David Vis. I had heard that he was among the best choices in Bellingham. He surpassed my expectations by providing on going support, sensitivity (told me take healing breaths during court) suggestions on how to rebuild my credit, removed the shame by assuring me this was a step to my financial recovery. David also provided me with a flexible pre payment plan making debt relief possilbe. Any questions I had were followed up within 24 hours, I appreciated his apropriate humor and compassion when preparing me for the entire process. There were no surprises and David removed the stress of the daunting financial decision to file bankruptcy. Very knowlegable and professional, so are his staff.
Upon researching lawyers in town, myself and my husband found David Vis to come highly recommended. At the time of our consultation, our lives were up in arms (so to speak)- I was pregnant with my second child, we were facing foreclosure on a bad decision we hastily had made at the height of the market on our first home. We came in with no debt other than our home (which burdened us with an intensely high interest rate). From the beginning of our process with David, he made us feel (for the first time in too long) like the world wasn't crumbling down upon us. We felt like we were in good hands and that proved DEFINITELY to be the case. Throughout the process, David was extremely professional, compassionate, patient, and astute. He made it clear (through his actions) that we were not just another "number" but a family he had care and concern for. He always made it clear that he wanted us to have financial freedom and to make sound decisions re: our future finances. I recommend David to ANYONE in need of help from bad past monetary decisions. David cares, and will pull through for his clients giving them the piece of mind they once thought to be impossible to acquire again.
David Vis is an excellent attorney. He is extremely knowledgable, takes time to explain things, is trustworthy, and has the best interests of his clients at heart. Understand if you choose him as your lawyer that he will walk you thoroughly through the particulars of your case and file paperwork in a timely fashion. He is not the quickest at responding to calls (which he prefers to e-mail), but if you absolutely need him he will go to bat for you. My sense is that he prioritizes what he needs to do first. When my case took an unexpected turn, David dropped everything and immediately returned my call--providing much needed expertise and a calming influence. I highly recommend him. If you're someone who needs constant updates as to the status of your case he may not be the best lawyer for you. For everyone else, know that you are in good hands.
David is extremely competent and knows the ins and outs of the bankruptcy process. He thoroughly explained what the process entailed and what to expect. I was probably one of his most reluctant of clients, but he appropriately nudged me along until the process was complete. I sincerely hope I never have to go through something like this again, but if I do, I would work with David again in a heartbeat.
Want a knowledgeable and effective BK lawyer? Look no further. He wiped out $900k of debt for me even though I had rather sizable tax returns. I put off BK for many years just because I looked too good on paper to think I could qualify. David is a non-nonsense partner that will dispense some tough love advice along with his legal skills, but he gets the job done and continues to work on my behalf even now that the worst is over. And one more thing: ignore the reprimand from 2006 that sticks out like a sore thumb on this site; I know the story and it's no big thing (he'll tell you too if you are interested in hearing about it). Only criticism I have is that sometimes he gets TOO busy, but I excuse that based on how I know he spent more time with me than he probably should have (so he probably does with others too).
I would say filing for bankruptcy ranks as high on the stress scale as going through a divorce! And if you are me, you are facing both at the same time!! So what do you do? You reach out to those who you trust to refer you to a trustworthy attorney who can help you with your bankruptcy. I believe in being thorough, so I solicited the opinions of more than one friend; my banking friend, my legal assistant friend and a third unrelated source. All three told me to call David Vis. Thank you all for referring me to David!! David is an attorney who truly cares about his clients, and believes in what he does to help others. He informed me of the process, answered all of my questions, and as well gave me tasks to handle on my end, which included taking two on-line classes that are mandatory to get through this process. I did everything David asked of me. He was great calling me back and keeping me informed at all times. If you listen to him, take notes and do your part, you will be as happy as I am that you hired David. My case went smooth, and the final discharge was a few months ago. Then, out of the clear blue, he called me. Of course, since I am still going through my dissolution action, I was panicked that something was wrong. No, nothing was wrong, David was simply calling me to make sure everything was going okay with me, and wanted to be sure I was not having an issues with creditors. In my professional opinion, David went above and beyond the call of duty by calling me. I recommend you hire David Vis as your bankruptcy attorney, you will not regret it!
David did an great job for me. He tells it like it is, not just what you want to hear to keep the tab running. David also provided some great advice on financial issues outside the bankruptcy. I consider David an outstanding advocate and now a friend.
We found David Vis to be an excellent attorney. He helped us make a difficult decision and set us up with a new financial future. He has a practical perspective toward handling debt. His knowledge of Washington bankruptcy law and his responsiveness toward his clients is commendable. We would recommend him to anyone.
David Vis helped us get through a difficult time. David was very understanding of our situation and got us through it the best and most inexpensive way he could. I am sending my son to him as my son is going to be going through a divorce and unfortunately for my son the last 6 years of marriage cost him his good credit rating. I would not send my son to someone I did not trust.
David is a first rate attorney and has helped me and others, his method is straightforward an d honest, I would recommend him without question.
