Although he always helped consumers with difficult debt problems since he started practice in 1986, he had a horrible accident in 1993 and broke his back after falling off of his rooftop. He could not work for months, and had to close his law practice while, literally, he “got back on his feet.”#N#As a result, he had to live on credit cards, pay his mortgage and feed his family with borrowed money. He was unable to pay his bills and – eventually – got sued by attorneys he knew. They would not work with him. They did not care about him, or his family. They wanted money he could not pay. It was devastating.#N#In time, Rick did get back on his feet, and was able to pay the creditors. But the experience changed him forever and he vowed to devote the rest of his professional life to helping good, hard-working people who, through no fault of theirs, could not pay their bills.#N#He closed his general practice, and began to specialize in debt relief. He became one of only a handful of attorneys in Ohio who are board certified in consumer bankruptcy, and he is also a certified consumer credit counselor as well as an accredited debt arbitrator and debt workout specialist, certified by the IAPDA. He is the only attorney in Ohio to hold all of these certifications. He has lectured widely to attorneys across Ohio on bankruptcy law, and has appeared on numerous television programs as a bankruptcy specialist.#N#Rick understands the importance of credit. His firm is the only firm in Ohio to offer – to all clients – a unique 3-Step Plan for total financial recovery. He combines his expertise as a consumer credit counselor with his extensive bankruptcy experience to help his clients get out of debt, rebuild their credit, and – after the bankruptcy is over – Rick’s firm continues to help his clients to ensure that their credit report is accurate.#N#Because he is also licensed to practice before the United States Tax Court, Rick can also help with consumer tax debt problems, including the “pennies on the dollar” offer-in-compromise program.
As a client of Mr. West, him and his office have made a rather concerning topic of bankruptcy very stress free for me. They made the entire process great for me, and were so helpful during the process. Everything was easy to understand, and everyone was so helpful and nice! I would recommend Mr. West and his office to anyone going through a bankruptcy . Thanks for all your help!
Our clients no longer have to struggle with the crushing burden of debt. If you work with us, we can wipe out your debts by filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and help rebuild your finances so that you’re able to focus on other things in life like saving money for children’s futures or retirement.
When you file for a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, we work with you to come up with an appropriate repayment plan that will allow your past due amounts and back payments over time.
We are still open for remote filings in Ohio and remote consultations during the pandemic. All consultations are free and there is no catch. We only work with clients who want to work with us. Nothing high-pressure. We look forward to assisting you.
Mr. West was specific. He listened to my story & suggested what he believed the best scenario for me would be. I am in the process of proceeding w/ that at this time. "If it was good enough for his mother, it should be good enough for me!" I would highly recommend his services!
So thankful to have found West Law Office. Everyone there was so nice and helpful and nonjudgmental while I was going through a difficult time. Their service was fast and they got me filed quickly! And Mr. West made me feel at ease about something that I was very nervous about. Definitely recommend!
No one wants to go through this situation, but this office I would recommend to anyone in this situation. They provided us with exceptional customer service, easy to understand instructions and videos broken down to help guide you. The stress was so minimized once we signed with them.
I was put into a very stressful situation financially and talking to Mr. West he gave me very sound advice to handle the situation I would highly recommend him to anyone
Richard West is #1 in my book. He took the time to look at my situation and helped me decide that a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy was truly the best option given my circumstances. He was very professional and didn’t make me feel bad about myself because of my situation. He truly cares and wants what is best for his clients financial well being.
Richard was very helpful and polite. He was timely and took the time to explain to me about what my best options are. I am thankful for the conversation I had with him and I do recommend him as legal help.
We hired Mr. West to represent us in our bankruptcy. He did a wonderful job for us. I would recommend him and his staff for anything you need
