The BEST in the Business

I hired Ms. Perez for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and she was amazing. She put my fears to rest and made the process as seamless as possible. I later hired her for a personal injury matter and she fought very hard to obtain a great outcome in my case. I will always use Ms. Perez for all of my legal needs!...

Chapter 7

I initially contacted Aileen Perez to discuss a possible Chapter 7 filing. I was at my wits end, overwhelmed and out of options. I was immediately impressed with her knowledge and professionalism, and her compassion and understanding as well. I am so glad I hired her and together we were able to put ...this difficult time behind me and now I have a fresh start. I highly recommend Aileen and will use her services again if needed and will recommend her to anyone looking for a great attorney.

Complete and total confidence

Mrs. Perez was recommended and I could not be more blessed to have crossed in her path. She saved me and my home from foreclosure through Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Without her guidance I am sure I would have lost everything and fortunately with her expertise and knowledge I did not. I’m forever grateful ...to her and would recommend her one million times over.

We're Please with the service.

We hired Aileen Perez to represent us with our first Chapter 7 Bankruptcy case. We didn't know what to expect since we'd never done this before. She was thorough in giving us a detail explanation about this, and made me and my wife both feel comfortable and not ashamed for having to get into this si...tuation. Everything went through without hitch, and we're both happy to had gotten through this chapter of our lives so easily. Without reservations we recommend Aileen and we would definitely call again on her, should any legal matter arise in the future.

Poor Service

Forgot to add a bill to my chapter 7. Asked this lawyer for help and NO HELP was provided. She left off a creditor off my chapter 7 and now I have to pay the consequences and most likely have to open my case with another lawyer. I would STAY AWAY from this place! They don’t know what they are doing! ...

Replied last January 10, 2019

This client received a favorable outcome and his Chapter 7 bankruptcy was discharged. This review was posted by a former client who later placed a positive review after he realized that medical bills do not automatically appear on a person's credit report. All bills and names of creditors must be given to the attorney in advance. I am always available to assist my clients to bring their matters to a successful conclusion.
