Extremely friendly staff and very knowledgeable

I very skeptical about coming to the reality of needing to file bankruptcy. James Cerbone was very helpful in walking me thru the process, explaining how it works and helping me make changes for the future. His staff is patient and very friendly which made the process much easier. Highly recommend.

SIMPLY THE BEST

MY PARTNER AND I INTERVIEWED 5 FIRMS BEFORE DECIDING ON JAMES CERBONE. MR CERBONE DID A SUPERV AND MASTERFUL JOB IN HANDING A COMPLEX BANKRUPTCY CASE FOR US. THEY ARE COMPETENT AND WERE ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WE HAD NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES WE ASKED THE SAME QUESTION. WE NEVER FE...LT RUSHED. THE STAFF WAS VERY PATIENT AND ATTENTIVE TO OUR NEEDS. WE CANT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THEM. GREAT JOB; THANKS....

Posted by Steve | April 01, 2014 | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Did a good job for me.

I hired Mr. Cerbone several years ago to file my chapter 7 bankruptcy. I couldn't pay the entire fee all at once so Mr. Cerbone let me pay on installments which took almost 2 years to pay off. He explained the process to me at his office and kept copies of my bills. When I went to court in Trenton ...I was met by a paralegal from his firm, which I thought was unusual, but everything went smoothly & I was done in less than 3 hours. I completed the credit counseling online without having to pay the fee because Mr. Cerbone told me it was included as part of his service and my chapter 7 was discharged. The only thing I didn't like about Mr. Cerbone's law firm was his assistant Genady. He was very condescending to me and said to "just sign the papers, you don't have to read them." I told him yes I do have read them, this is a very important matter and I want to understand everything that I am agreeing to.

Attorney took money for filing and never did the job

James Cerbone never returns phone calls and is never in the office. Took installment payments to file papers with court and never did filing. His staff is rude and arrogant and talks with street slang.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
