Smooth and Easy Process
John and his team made this process painless. From the first consultation to my ch7 discharge, I felt completely informed and confident about my case. I also must mention that my case wasnt ordinary- there was a high amount of debt and a few obstacles that I was nervous about before talking to John. Because of this we had to pivot a few times during the process- John and Vicky were on top of everything and extremely helpful. Very satisfied with my selection for an attorney and would recommend these guys to anyone looking to file. John is very knowledgable with the bankruptcy code and had a solution to every problem.

Amazing Experience
John and his staff were truly amazing. From the consultation to the discharge, John and Vicky were there every step of the way. The level of communication was like nothing I have ever experienced with an attorney. Vicky was extremely helpful during the process and there were no surprises. They really know their stuff and I would recommend them to everyone.

Best Lawyer
The first day I went to Mr. Murano's office by the time I was done I immediately knew I choose the right person for my case. He assess my case outcomes based on the law and facts, never made any promises. He is a great listener and took the time to understand my needs and helped me determine which of many remedies was best for my circumstances. He always returned my phone calls on a timely manner. This office is full of professionalism, the staff is very respectful and cordial at all times .. Vicky is a very special person, tremendous human being and very attentive and professional .. I definitely recommend this office and its staff.

Professional, efficient, knowledgeable.
John Murano represented us for our Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in 2011. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and efficient from consultation through the final court order almost six years later. He fully explained all of our options, advised which would work best for our particular case and guided us in a smooth and the most painless way possible. He continued to field any/all concerns in the five year period following the initial bankruptcy. Mr. Murano made one of the most awful experiences in our life less anxious. I would seek counsel from him again should I ever need it.

Professional, Ethical, Experienced, Knowledgeable and Detailed. AMAZING EXPERIENCE & RESULTS!
We thank God for putting Mr. John F. Murano in our path and I will explain why. let me start off by saying that It is not easy to come to an understanding of some matters in life. During this occasion bankruptcy (Chapter 7) was one of those matters for my wife and I. It was so difficult that it took us 4 years to come to understand that we had no choice, but, to do it.The most difficult thing to accept, was the fact that after diligently paying on time all of our debts (car loans, personal loans, credit cards, business loans, college) for more than 20 years and having perfect credit since you were in high school, it was all soon going to crumble once we filed for bankruptcy, and all because we came across a life or death medical emergency that caught us without medical insurance exactly when we didn't have any. Jeeshe, who would've thought? But, that is life. After paying one of three five-figure medical bills that we received. After attempting to pay off gradually the remainder of the other medical bills while paying off our credit cards, living expenses, etc. We just couldn't keep up. We worked more and harder, but, we couldn't catch up. We decided to search for an attorney. One that would be experienced in our case (Personal/Business). One we felt we could trust and feel comfortable with as we took this scary bankruptcy route. After three months of research, we came across an attorney whose initials are "R. A. F. Jr" from Little Ferry. A "Board Certified by the American Board of Certification in Consumer Bankruptcy". We thought he was the right one for us until we met the first time. We didn't feel happy with the step we were about to take into bankruptcy and Mr. R.A.F., the way he interviewed us made us feel worse and even ashamed. He tried to close us with a contract after 5 minutes of interviewing us. We left Mr. RAF’s office discouraged and feeling that most attorneys were probably the same. Because of this, we took much longer than expected. It took us one more year, many calls and after extensive research and praying, we finally came across Mr. Murano's information online and gave him a call. From the first call, we just felt right at home. We schedule a meeting, and my wife, unfortunately, was not present. Mr. Murano made me feel welcome and that he really CARED about our situation. Mr. Murano treated me with respect, took the time to listen, took the time to answer all my questions, took the time to explain our options in detail with ease. Mr. Murano explained his contract in detail and any scenarios that could be possible. I was extremely happy, felt confident and hopeful. I felt that I could finally go through with the bankruptcy. My wife was present for our second meeting and Mr. Murano went over all the details again with her as he had done with me in our first meeting. He answered all her questions as well. It was priceless.Our communication with him and Vicky (Paralegal) was excellent. All our doubts along the way were answered within minutes of just sending an email. Days before our appointment with the trustees, Mr. Murano answered any questions we had and gave us the instructions we needed. The day of the appointment with the trustee he was there with us. He was one of a handful of lawyers that were prepared and the ONLY lawyer on time that day as per the trustee's comments when he arrived. Mr. Murano more than exceeded our expectations with his service and we recommend him 100%. If you are looking for a lawyer that is knowledgeable and experienced in personal and/or business bankruptcy and will resolve your case. A lawyer that will treat you with the respect that you deserve, will look into your case and will empathize with your situation while giving you the BEST professional and ethical advice. Then, go no further. Mr. Murano is the attorney you are looking for. We sure made that choice, we thank GOD for putting Mr. Murano in our path and Mr. Murano for doing an EXCELLENT job! Thank you!

Mr. Murano and his staff were extremely professional. At my first meeting with John, he made me feel comfortable during a very difficult time. He gives you all the tools you need from the initial conversation through the Court appearance. John and his staff keep you informed and respond quickly to your questions or concerns. I highly recommend Mr. Murano and his staff.

Saved our home
We hired Mr. Murano after researching on many attorney search websites as well as very outstanding remarks about him on yelp. Mr. Murano exceeded our expectations! During our consultation, John was very honest regarding our chances of getting a loan modification. He tirelessly worked on our case even asking us to come to his office on weekends because he wanted to go over our paperwork once again. He was persistent when the mortgage company was giving us the run around and because of his diligence we have our home with a mortgage we can afford. I can't thank him enough for what he has done for us.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
John Murano is an exceptional attorney. From the first step of setting up my consultation to finalize the process he was helpful and attentive the entire way. From explaining every detail of the process and all the different scenarios that could come up along the way; was comforting to know he was there to help and provide answers/guidance. I would refer him to whoever is looking for a bankruptcy attorney.

Excellent Service
I have already recommended that my sibling acquire Mr. Murano's services. He was flexible with my schedule and showed up earlier then he had to on more than one occasion. His assistant Vicky made sure I received every document in a timely manner and they quickly ceased my wage garnishment and made sure I was reimbursed.

Mr. Murano was/is a very kind but professional lawyer. He helped me tremendously with my case and was there every step of the way. He answered my questions and did not make me feel worthless even though bankruptcy is a very difficult process to go through.
