Awesome!

I hired Jeremias to do my bankruptcy and it was the best decision I could have made. I went to him very unsure and scared if this was the way I should go and he explained all my options and made me feel very comfortable and confident that this was the right decision for me. He was very patient and un...derstanding with my nervousness and was always a phone call, text or email away to answer any questions I had (and I had lots) He made this whole nerve-racking process as smooth as possible.

Great experience

Jeremias was very professional and helpful with my case. Everything was to the point and all of my many, many, many... MANY questions were answered . He most definitely put up with me for the last few months and i appreciate it very much. All the way down to the end. I would refer him to anyone ! He ...definitely made my bankruptcy journey a very smooth experience and also set me up in a way to begin rebuilding my credit immediately. Jereimas does his job and he covers all bases, appreciate all the help! Thank you again. - Krystal W.

Best Lawyer!

The best lawyer in the area without a doubt, is Mr. Batista. I never had any financial problems until I separated from my husband, I was stressed with all the past due accounts and without qualifying for any public assistance and two girls. Mr. Batista was recommended by one of my friends for bankrup...tcy. I contacted him and from the beginning he educated me about the process and evaluated my case quickly, at no time did he judge me. He was present the entire time and answered all my questions promptly. The process was fast and without any problems. So, I highly recommend Attorney Batista, for his professionalism, empathy, respect and experience. Mr. Batista, you certainly have made a difference in my life and I will never forget the support, kindness and superb expertise you have showed me during this time. Thank you, many blessings! El mejor abogado en el área, sin dudas es el Señor Jeremías Batista. Nunca había tenido problemas financieros hasta que me separé de mi esposo, me vi estresada con las cuentas que estaban atrasadas y sin calificar para ningún tipo de ayuda pública y dos niñas. Una amiga me recomendó a él señor Batista para lo de la Bancarrota. Me comuniqué con él y desde el principio me educó sobre el proceso y evaluó mi caso rápidamente, en ningún momento me juzgo, estuvo presente todo el tiempo y respondía todas mis preguntas rápidamente. El proceso fue rápido y sin ningún inconveniente. Recomiendo altamente a el Abogado Batista, por su profesionalidad, empatía, respeto y experiencia. Señor Batista, usted a hecho una gran diferencia en mi vida y nunca olvidare su apoyo, amabilidad y su excelente experiencia, la cual me demostró durante este proceso. ¡Bendiciones y gracias!

Unprofessional

Can I rate a ZERO?? Too good to be true? Yes, that is the case with Jeremias Batista. The short version of my situation is the lack off communication after you file with him. I received a discharge letter that stated I was responsible to pay some debts. Therefore, a chapter 7 was not approved by ju...dge. This is what I am assuming. I reached out to Mr. Bastista on several occasions at time of receiving this letter (June 2020) to no avail. It is now August and I am still in limbo wondering what debts I am responsible for. I also, want to point out that he stopped communicating when all payment arrangements where completed. Obviously, he is just another lawyer out to get you as any other lawyer...so disappointed!
