On my recent visit to Columbus for the Arnold Expo (I am from northern Ohio), I reached out to Mark Herder for a telephone consultation concerning some sudden bankruptcy issues stemming from my recent divorce matters. He was very professional and knowledgeable on the issues that I brought to his attention. I have worked for criminal attorneys and have used other attorneys at times in life. I was extremely impressed with Mr. Herder's willingness to spend one hour, free of charge, on the telephone with me -- even though I live in a different federal district of Ohio. This type of attention to details is extremely rare in todays world. He addressed real estate, tax, credit card, personal loan and even my personal injury matters. Would 100% recommend his services to anyone who is looking for a truly exceptional individual and true master of his craft. read more

I was being garnished by the us dept. of education for over a year. After being unable to get an appointment with other bankruptcy attorneys, I called Mark Herder s office on Wednesday of this week, he personally gave me a list of information over the phone and immediately scheduled me for a appointment yesterday. Today, I signed my chapter 13 bankrutcy case. Mark called me personally with my case number just a few minutes ago, and now I am completing the online post counseling course online. The garnishment has been stopped! 48 hour turnaround to resolve a year of financial problems. I owe $80,000 in student loans that can no longer harass me. Thank you so much Mark and especially, especially your very helpful staff. I did not realize that attorneys work past 5 oclock! My first payment to the bankruptcy trustee is due in one month. read more

Im sorry if I spelled your name wrong Caitie!!! But Mark, Caitie, and all the other ladies in the office made this such an easy, fast, and painless process. They were very easy to talk with and always available when I called. Caitie kept me very informed each step of the way, and worked with me on the times I was able to make it to the office and on how long it took me to get them some of the paperwork they needed. It's hard enough to admit you need financial help and need to file to begin with. So it was great having such a wonderful, and understanding team that was very supportive throughout my filing. They made me feel so much better about my situation, and helped me realize it happens to people in all different levels of income. I highly recommend them to anyone even considering filing bankruptcy. read more

I contacted Mark Herder today to file a bankruptcy case because I was scared of the harasment that I have been receiving from my many debts. Attorney Herder called me right back today (on a weekend) and explained to me that since I don't have any income or a home, the bill collectors can't really do anything harmful to me! He saved me the cost of filing a chapter 7 bankrupcty and put me at ease. After talking to a few other bankruptcy attorneys in Columbus, I called him after hearing about him from a friend that he charged $750 for everything for Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases. None of the other bankruptcy lawyers that i had spoke to even brought this point to my attention! They just wanted to take my money. Mark Herder has just saved me $750 and I apreciate his honesty with me. read more

I never had the need for any bankruptcy lawyer before I was faced with crushing debts. On top of that, this crazy collection outfit unannounced took all of my money from my bank account. Because I had heard of bankruptcy before from his advertising, I called Mark Herder and he called me back the same day, that night. I visited his office and I was actually able to get alll of the garnished money back with the bankruptcy case. My experience was not just average bankruptcy attorney, it was outstanding. Thank you to this office since they are real and they helped me out of a financial mess that I had unfortunately let go of for far too long. Happy New Year to 1031 East Broad! read more

I just finished my chapter 13 bankruptcy case with Mark Herder and am very, very pleased with his services. I had 2 pieces of real estate in the case and Mark was able to arrange things so that the last 5 years have been very successful. I was able to eliminate 2 mortgages through the process and still keep my main residence. When I was shopping around in the beginning, other bankruptcy attorneys had suggested that I follow through with mortgage modification. Mark pointed out that this was not a good strategy for me at all. I have also been able to reestablish my credit along the way too and am now looking forward to retiring in my home that was saved in the bankruptcy! read more

Do not look any further, you will not be disappointed- you will be able to rest easy at night knowing someone trustworthy is handling your affairs. His office was able to stop all garnishments and other creditors from ruining my finances. I will forever be grateful for what this firm has done for my life!!! read more

This law office saved my home from the county court auction by quickly filing bankruptcy for me. I had become sick and unable to pay my mortgage. Mark Herder and lindsay both represented me at the bankruptcy hearing and I could not be more thankful for what they have done for me. Even though I am super busy, the office worked with my schedule. Mark Herder even called my husband on the weekend and confirmed important information and court times with me. Update calls were made over the Thanksgiving weekend too. Feeling very blessed. read more

The case was filed immediately -- so my garnishment was stopped! read more
