Review Robert Kovacs

Bankrupcy Attorney

Posted by

My husband and I had consulted another attorney before deciding to use Robert. Our case was more complicated given the fact that we owned a business. He didn't judge our circumstances and understood how bad we felt at having to file for bankrupcy. He made the process simple and encouraged us not worry as was well versed in his knowledge of bankrupcy law. Thankfully, everything went as planned and we are grateful to Robert for handling all of the details. I would whole-heartedly recommend him and his staff.

Can't Thank Robert Enough For His Phenomenal Work

Posted by

I will forever be grateful for how Robert Kovacs was able to change the lives of my parents who had let their finances spiral out of control and had pretty much given up because everything had become so unmanageable. We reached out to Robert a week before their house was about to be foreclosed on with little expectation that there were any options available. He listened to my parents’ situation, quickly developed a plan, coached them through the process, and gave them hope that I hadn’t seen in over a decade. Robert was very compassionate and patient, and I can’t stress enough how important it was to have someone in our corner that genuinely cared. There were some very complex pieces to my parents’ situation, but Robert navigated the challenges and executed on everything. Because of Robert’s work, my parents were able to clear up years of accrued debt, sell their house for a profit, and most importantly get back to living normal, functional lives. I really can’t say enough good things about Robert, both as a person and a professional. If you find yourself in a position where you may need some help, you can be confident that you will be in good hands working with Robert Kovacs.

I enjoyed meeting with Attorney Kovacs. He was easy to talk with about my problems. I had met with another lawyer before him for a consultation. The other lawyer took about 15 minutes with me. Attorney Kovacs took the time to learn about my problems and then described to me how bankruptcy works.

Great Lawyer

I chose Attorney Kovacs for my bankruptcy case because he is very knowledgeable. When we first met he explained to me what to expect with bankruptcy and helped me save my house from foreclosure. Throughout the entire process he kept me informed with what was going on. When I had questions he was very easy to get in touch with. I have recommended Attorney Kovacs to friends and they are just as pleased with his service as I am.

met with attorney Kovacs just a few days before the bank was to foreclsoe on my home. The bank kept on promising to help, but they never did. when I met with Rob he told me what he could do. He stopped the foreclosre, got ride of my second mortgage and credit card debts. I am getting caught up with my mortgage now. Thanks, rob

I endorse this lawyer. This lawyers contributions to this site are invaluable. I happily endorse this lawyers work, ability and charity to those asking for advice. Further, I like to endorse good lawyers, because I find the AVVO rating system to be dishonest and corrupt. Frequently, disgruntled litigants on the opposing side (not your clients) will bash a lawyer on this site, pretending to be "your" client. When this situation is brought to AVVO attention, Avvo refuses to do anything to investigate and remove the false, slanderous "client" reviews. AVVO is a mean petty internet blog site trying to make money off of lawyers, and does not care if the public receives truthful information.
