Hired Attorney Walter A. Metzen

Working with Walter A. Metzen law firm and specifically, Ted Badr was amazing. I was so afraid and embarrassed that I couldn’t afford to pay off debt that accumulated during the pandemic. I didn’t know what to do. Ted was easy like Sunday morning and a joy to work with. He walked me through the entire process, practically held me hand by explaining to me what to expect, I didn’t feel judged. He just wants you to be honest with him so he can do the best job possible. I would recommend Walter A. Metzen law office 1000 out of 100 every time. Now that my case was won, I can move on with life and make better decisions.

Hired Attorney Walter A. Metzen

One of the hardest decisions I have ever made was to file for bankruptcy. I started by reading reviews of firms and attorneys in my area. One review stood out from all the others. It was for Mr. Walter Metzen & Associates. He was highly praised “for a calming, professional attitude”. Mr. Metzen provided the guidance I needed without any judgement. He explained every option and instructed me on all the information I would need for a successful process. He responded to my calls and questions promptly. I highly recommend Mr. Metzen, his expertise made a difficult situation very manageable.

He’s truly exceptional. I found myself in a situation that had become too overwhelming to handle. Though I felt ashamed and embarrassed that it had reached that point, it was beyond my control. He approached everything with professionalism, compassion, and expertise. His fees are transparent and reasonable.
