Best Attorney ever!

Mark Goldman and David Breslow at this firm are two of the best attornies I have ever met! I went through a divorce last year and ended up having to file bankruptcy. I have had occassion to deal with a couple of different attornies in the past for divorce and housing issues, no one could hold a can...dle to these guys. True professionals, extremely knowledgable and its obvious the really enjoy doing what they do - helping people out of financial distress. My first visit to the office was at 6:00pm (by the way they work to accomodate your schedule too) and expected to be about an hour. David spent a good two and a half hours with me on this initial visit (knowing that I could take my business elsewhere because there is no charge for the initial consultation). I left that day feeling like there was some hope. They are so experienced and such experts in this area and they also have the people skills and reassure you that this is not the end of the world, but rather a new beginning! I truly can't say enough. When I interviewed various attornies, there were attornies that were $400.00 cheaper (my ex used one), however if you want someone that is an expert and won't let things fall through the cracks, this firm is the best! My ex still is having problems because of the attorney he chose for his bankruptcy. I rate this firm a 10 and you are just not going to get any better! Exceptional response time, extremely knowledable, honest and reassuring. When I went for the initial visit, I was about to have my electric shut off, my house was in foreclosure - I was so worried. They took care of everything and made sure I was protected. I'm now going to be able to stay in my home, I have power in my house and life is good! You won't regret using this firm!
