Best bankruptcy lawyer!

Jeremias Batista is truly a professional and knowledgeable attorney. I was inundated in debt and was sued by one of my creditors. Being out of work due to COVID-19, I only had enough funds to meet my basic living expenses with nothing left over to hire an attorney, yet public assistance said they c...ould not help me. I called Jeremias and he told me not to worry. We could work out an installment plan to pay his fees. From day one he was always accessible and even called me late in the evening to work on my initial filing so that the lawsuit would be stayed. He explained to me how the bankruptcy process works and answered all my questions thoroughly. He is compassionate, kind and considerate and never once did I feel judged. Being an attorney myself, I’m very picky about who I want representing me. I highly recommend Jeremias Batista should you require a bankruptcy attorney.

Best Lawyer to work with! Highly Recommended!

Jeremías Batista was highly recommended to my ex husband by my personal lawyer to assist in a bankruptcy case. If you are looking for a lawyer that is compassionate, professional, highly responsive, has good values and in general shows high quality in his service; than Jeremias Batista is the lawyer... that you are looking for. He is also genuine, understanding, considerate and very empathetic to your situation. I chose to write this review, because not only did he helped the father of my children, but also allowed me to ask questions and provided information that will help me offer support to my kids father in this difficult and scary situation. His response time was impressive. He was always a text, email or a phone call away. We will get a response almost immediately or within a couple of hours on the same day. I will highly recommend Jeremias Batista as the lawyer to whoever is in need of his service with a 5+ rating. Thank you Jeremias for your amazing service, and support to our family.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I highly recommend Jeremias Batista and it is my pleasure to write this review. He was recommended to me by another attorney that assumed I could only file Ch 13 based on my situation and also because they only dealt with Ch 7 bankruptcy cases. I preferred to file Ch 7 bankruptcy and not Ch 13 if pos...sible. I originally assumed that I could only file Ch 13 and not Ch 7 because I made more than the median NJ salary and was also paying off a retirement account loan that could not be used for the Means Test calculation for Ch 7 eligibility. After our first conversation, Jeremias assured me that I would be able to file Ch 7 based on my case and explained the entire process along with his experiences in cases similar to my own and assured me not to worry. Jeremias clearly directed me on what to expect each step of the way and what documents I needed to provide. A few days after our initial phone conversation Jeremias made arrangements to meet with me at his office to go over my case in detail and also to review and sign a few required documents. We communicated clearly via phone, text and email. My 341 meeting of creditors was on a Monday morning 12/14 and Jeremias contacted me that Sunday evening to review any last minute detail and prep me through the process to make sure all my questions were answered and to make sure everything was in place. The process was just as he described and could not have been any easier and I'm greatly relieved. Based on the recommendation of the first attorney I consulted with and from my own personal experience, I highly recommend Jeremias Batista for anyone who needs to hire a knowledgeable, experienced and reliable attorney for a bankruptcy filing. I agree and can attest to all the other positive reviews for Jeremias E. Batista. Thank you Jeremias!
