I highly recommend Bottom & Associates as bankruptcy trustees. If you want to make the bankruptcy process as painless and as quick as possible, go with them! He presented me with all the possible options and helped me to take an informed decision. I was impressed with his knowledge of the bankruptcy process. By speaking with David, I realized he is highly qualified and with experience in the field. I found the whole team professional and accommodating. They made the whole process as smooth and easy.
Unbelievable people. David is as stand up a guy as you will ever deal with.
Excellent service and they go the extra mile for their clients which does not happen a lot these days. I would highly recommend their firm.

To me, nothing had felt scarier or more embarrassing than to acknowledge that we were getting deeper into debt everyday. I felt like we were living a lie to everyone around us, it was impacting our marriage, my self-confidence, everything. The only thing holding me back was being scared to make the call and schedule a meeting. It made it all more real. But I got brave and knew that with one call my life would turnaround. And it did. David made me feel immediately comfortable and I never felt judged or small. In fact, I left our first meeting feeling proud that I had acknowledged the problem and was taking steps to move through it. I would recommend David and the team to anyone who feels even slightly uneasy about their financial situation. Best call I ever made.

I have my own window cleaning business and neglected a few financial responsibilities dealing with workers and taxes. I was receiving phone calls so often I changed my number. My mail was bills that were in excess of $100,000.00 My bank accounts were closed and emptied.I called Bottom and Associates to set up a meeting. When I met David, he explained to me what my next options would be. I filed for bankruptcy and religiously followed the rules set to my by David. Days later my accounts were cleared, the debtors stopped harassing me and I was back to work. I learned how to keep track of my spending and keep a monthly list of my expenses for tax purposes and GST remittance. It really was a life changing experience and I am grateful to Bottom and Associates for their help. Since I have referred 4 of my friends who have had the same problems and they all will back everything I have said here. Good luck with all your troubles. These Guys can help.
David Bottom is very professional and committed to helping his clients.
