"When I met personally with Alfred A Abel in discussing my potential bankruptcy, I felt secure in the knowledge that I was going to get the best service that I could have hoped for. I had special circumstatnces in that I was going to be out of the country for most of the process due to family reasons. I communicated with Mr Abel and his staff via email wonderfully. Even though we had a time difference in our correspondence there were never questions that had gone unanswered. When preparing for my hearing, Mr Abel was extrememly informative and honest. I was prepared and felt compfortable with the process. Now that the whole process is over, I feel confident that it was the right decision and now I can get my life back. I would recommend Mr Abel to anyone going through the same financial anguish that I had gone through."

To the staff at Alfred Abel's office:
I want to take the opportunity to thank all the staff at Alfred Abel's Office you for all they did putting our case together. Especially when it got complicated; I panicked but they took control when I could not reach Alfred and I remain grateful for their poise and professionalism at a critical time.

It happened one day; I just realized I was in over my head. Between being laid off for 18 months and then finally finding a position in retail taking a 2/3 cut in pay, I knew I was in deep. I had always struggled with credit card debt but always paid the bills and had a high credit score. And, I felt that bankruptcy had this negative connotation around it.
I met with Alfred and discussed my situation. I learned in that initial consultation that I did have the option of filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. I also learned what this meant. And, I could keep my house and car. I didn’t need to give up anything, except for my pride.
Once I swallowed my pride and took the plunge into the process, it felt liberating. I now pay cash for everything.
Working with Alfred and his staff was easy. They kept me informed of the steps and the progress in a timely and professional manner. My bankruptcy process has completed and I know now I should have done this much sooner in life.
If you are contemplating bankruptcy, don’t hesitate to call and schedule your initial consultation. The price you pay for that time and information is worth more than your time worrying and guessing.

A friend who I confide in suggested I meet with Alfred regarding a judgment which had me extremely worried. I met with Alfred and he helped me realize I had many choices and with some questions and discussion we came up with my solution which helped me to sleep at night and realize I'm not alone with financial struggles.
Alfred and his team were always available to answer my questions and handled my case so well that I will recommend Alfred to everyone! Alfred and his team helped me to get back on my feet and a new start without worrying about opening the mail anymore!
If you are having financial trouble, please do yourself a favor and contact Alfred Abel. He can guide you in the right direction no matter what your case may be.

I had a car accident. It was not my fault, but the insurance company wouldn't agree that their driver caused it. Mr. Abel settled the case in about 6 months and I heard from other people I know that's pretty fast. He got us all the insurance that the other driver had and got my lost wages and car damage too.

We loaned money to a business several years ago and then the business and the owner filed for bankruptcy. Our collateral was personal property, and we were sure the business got rid of it and we would be unsecured, and lose the full amount of our loan. We hired this lawyer and he was great. The bankruptcy trustee tried to disallow our security interest, and we proved that the debtor still had it and we were fully secured. Not only did we get paid in full but we got interest too, even the interest that accumulated during the bankruptcy case. It is the best result we ever got on one of our loans that went into default and then bankruptcy. He gets my highest recommendation.

Mr. Able graciously responded to a legal question that I had posted on Avvo. He took the time to carefully read the details I had provided and offered a very specific and insightful strategy on how to defend myself in civil court. Because of his help I was able to obtain judgment in my favor. I am very grateful for his time and input through the Avvo website.

1st of all, Mr. Abel is very pleasant and her was very upfront about everything!!! I simply had to get the ball rolling with today's laywer's rates (I highly recommend you pay the fees in full so you can really get the ball rolling fast as I did!!!). Everything Mr. Abel said was true and NO PROBLEMS at all!!! No extra fees or anything!!! My case was an open and shut case since my debt to income ratio was like 80% to 20% in comparison. But too bad school loans are almost impossible to have dischrged :-( !!! But He saved me around $80,000 total :-) !!! Despite having a mark on my credit, Mr. Abel has followed up nicely to help me get on my feet to rebuild my credit. In addition, his staff were also very friendly, easy going, caring and helpful. Mr. Abel also followed up after the case was closed and I ***HIGHLY*** recommend that you hire him!!!

Alfred and I worked on a bankruptcy case together. It was a really stressful time in my life, but even at our first consult, I knew I was in good hands. He knew exactly what he was doing. He gave me clear steps to follow and assured me this situation could get taken care of. Looking back, I'm utterly impressed at how smooth Mr. Abel made the whole process. Hard times can leave people desperate for a crutch, and I'm so glad I used Alfred M. Abel as my attorney. I'd recommend him to anyone.

Alfred was easy to deal with and explained things as situations arose. Offered advice that worked well with our needs. Alfred handled our case entirely, including filing all paperwork and dealt with US Bankruptcy Court officers and creditors.

I have known Attorney Abel forseveral years. He is an excellent attorney in the areas of bankruptcy and personal injury. Additionally, he handles Wills, Powers of Attorney and Health Care Powers of Attorney. Attorney Abel is knowledgeable and dedicated. I highly recommend him as an attorney.
