Were you to ask me one question about my filing for bankruptcy, it should be: Knowing what you know now, if you had to do it all over again, would you hire the same attorney to represent you?
The short answer is yes, and the attorney I hired was Sanaz Bereliani.
Prior to hiring a bankruptcy attorney to represent me, I talked to and evaluated five attorneys. Of the five, Sanaz stood out for her thoroughness, her knowledge of bankruptcy law and the process, and her willingness to answer my questions (and there were quite a few). With regard to the questions I had, the other four attorneys were fairly quick to let me know that “We can address your questions once you have paid my retainer;” Sanaz did not. She took the time to answer all of my questions, with her focus being on making sure that I was both well-informed and comfortable with her and the process.
The bankruptcy proceeded like clockwork, with Sanaz keeping me informed as to what was going to happen and when. There were no surprises and within four months the bankruptcy was finalized. While going through this process can be challenging, having Sanaz at the helm made all the difference in the world.
Yes, I would hire her again.

I hired Sanaz to handle my bankruptcy case. She was so knowledgable in this area. Always had great communication with her. She is reliable, professional and on top of my case. I really could count on her to explain the bankruptcy process and things that came up along the way. She is the best and I really appreciated her help! I would recommend Sanaz to anyone wanting or thinking of filing for bk.

Sanaz was very professional in handling my family's bankruptcy case. They were nervous and scared about the process, but knew it was the right thing to do. Not only did she successfully complete the bankruptcy case, she kept us informed the whole time and was always available to answer questions. Her professional touch as well as her sensitivity to the topic was phenominal. I would definitely recommend her to anyone thinking of filing for bankruptcy.

Ms. Bereliani handled our bankruptcy case with utmost care and knowledge. She has the ability to reassure as well as educate a person regarding his legal rights and responsibilities. Our case was handled quickly and easily. We highly recommend the Bereliani Law Firm.

Sanaz is the best! We were previously in a Chapter 13 / 5 year plan of which we had completed 2.5yrs of payments. Then I lost my job. I repeatedly contacted our previous attorney and had to practically stalk him to get an answer back as to guidance and next steps as we were not able to make the required monthly payment any longer. Becoming increasingly frustrated, I decided to google other options and came across Sanaz. After initially speaking to her and explaining our situation, she immediately top-line assessed where we were over the phone, explained her retainer and offered her services and confidence to help us out of this situation. Deal done! We became clients. As soon as she had the retainer amount and required docs, she went to work lightning fast. Within days she had docs prepared, filed and all the while walked us thru the entire process. I have to admit, it was kind of like having someone with sight literally hold your hand as a blind person and guide you thru the journey. She was the best and took care of EVERYTHING! She was not like any other attorney we had ever dealt with. She returns calls on the first message. She immediately emails you back from first receipt of message. She is prompt. She provides the answer before you ask the question. She provides such a feeling of security thru out the whole process it is really unlike any other experience we've had with any other professional of any sort of business - doctor, banker, lawyer etc etc….You notice I have called her by her first name 2x already? that is because she makes you feel like she has known you forever and she truly cares about your case.
If anyone needs an attorney for BK I cannot stress how much easier your life will become by retaining Sanaz Bereliani for this service. In fact, if other attorney's would take a lesson as to not only how to do a BK properly but also how to treat people with respect and dignity it would certainly put a whole new face on what it means to be an attorney!
Thank you Sanaz - you ARE the best!

Sanaz was genuinely interested and took her time to clearly answer each question and explain the process. No rushing to get me in and out and no high pressure sales pitch or scare tactics. She kept in contact with me through the entire process and responded to my e-mails and phone calls. If you are in the unfortunate position of considering bankruptcy, Sanaz Bereliani should be your first contact.

Hands down, one of the best attorneys out there. Sanaz was referred to me by a friend and I urgently needed her help. Sanaz listened to me ramble on and one, and then took care of what I needed. She is a wonderful attorney who is patience, knows the law and most of all listens to her clients needs.

About 8-10 months ago, my father and I were referred to Ms. Bereliani by our trusted civil attorney. We met Ms. Bereliani for a free consultation at which point she went through our case, the issues we were facing, and came up with a game plan for us to proceed with. We were very hesitant about the whole process as this was something new but the fact that Ms. Bereliani was able to lay everything out, had the patience to make sure we were on the same page and feeling comfortable about filing, and knowing that she was just a phone call away, we retained Ms. Bereliani and successfully filed our case. She was adamant about being thorough and getting the correct documentation before filing so that we would not have any issues with the Trustee – like making sure the equity in our home was fully protected so that we did not lose our home. We were not referred to speak to her employees or secretaries but she was our first point of contact. If she was not available via phone she always responded immediately via email. For such a stressful process, it was heartwarming to know that we had someone like her on our side. We would definitely call her in the future for any other issues we have and give our experience would easily refer our friends and family to her.

WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE MRS. BERELIANI PROVIDED TO US EVEN BEFORE OUR CASE WAS CLOSED I WAS ALREADY RECOMMENDING HER SERVICES TO MY FAMILY. WE FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY SHE DID AN INITIAL INTERVIEW OVER THE PHONE TO SEE IF WE QUALIFIED LIKE SHE SAID WHY PAY MONEY UPFRONT AND IF WE DON' QUALIFY. WE DID QUALIFY SHE TOLD ME WHAT PAPERWORK I NEEDED TO BRING IN I MET WITH HER ONCE. SHE IS VERY EASY TO TALK TO SHE SPOKE MY LANGUAGE AND ANSWERED ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAD. SHE IS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND I AM TRULY VERY HAPPY HOW IT ALL WENT DOWN SHE EXPLAINED EVERYTHING IN DETAIL. SO I ALWAYS KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT.THANK YOU SANZA FOR ALL YOUR HELP

"A catastrophic situation created the need for the services of a bankruptcy attorney in 2008. I am so glad we found Sanaz. Her expertise was greatly appreciated. But her understanding and compassionate ear and calm and reassuring attitude made all the difference in our mental and emotional recovery.
She easily navigated us through what could have been a challenging experience.
I wholeheartedly refer her to my friends and to my clients as appropriate."
