Allen Stands Out
Allen Gorski was the best business decision I made in a time sensitive situation. I had in excess $600,000 at risk in a December 2022 Chapter 11 NJ Bankruptcy. Unknown to me at the time of making the jumbo loan the Debtor had a history of scams. Since the loan was made, this Debtor has been sued in over one dozen litigations, levied with multi-million judgments and filed one unrelated 2021 bankruptcy. The Debtor loved to litigate, sadly to the point of being delusion. Unfortunately, in our legal system, even for meritless claims, Debtors often have a biased advantage in our liberal court system, even with no genuine defenses to plead. I am 80 years old and retired in Florida. This Debtor wanted to wear down me in legal combat in New Jersey, exposing me to $500- $1,000 hourly attorney rates. I realized I was potentially at risk of having $50-$100k legal bill. I explained my dilemma to Allen. He understood. We worked together as a team. My legal bill did not surpass $10,000.00. I have been a lender for over 30 years and worked with many attorneys. Allen stands out. Allen was always available to talk. Allen filed on time and was always on point. He knew the law and argued succinctly on what was strategic and important. Allen was able to get my automatic stay released in less than 60 days. He guided me to organize and schedule a Sheriff Sale in 30 days after the removal of the Automatic Stay, avoiding more accumulation on unpaid property taxes. Allen has my full endorsement.

Allen Gorski provided excellent counsel
Mr. Gorski was an excellent representative. When our small business was unpaid for a large debt due to a corporate bankruptcy, he counseled us wisely and represented us ably - eventually recovering much more than we expected.

Honest, Fair and Direct
Allen is a talented, capable and informed bankruptcy attorney. He was patient, empathetic and creative in how he helped me devise a plan and equip me to fulfill it. Best of all, Allen stuck nearby me throughout the entire three-year process. Allen never judged me, nor my circumstances, and was a genuine advocate for me with the judge and trustee. He never failed to swiftly and plainly answer my questions, push back on the trustee, where necessary, and went out of his way to ensure I was kept up-to-the-minute with the trustee's requirements. I'd strongly recommend Allen if you are contemplating a bankruptcy.

Fantastic Job
I hired Mr. Gorski as my lawyer. He was extremely professional. When I first arrived at his office I was feeling very sad and nervous. However, Mr. Gorski made me feel comfortable while I was speaking to him about my situation. He was very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job.

Highly Recommended
Allen Gorski made filing for bankruptcy completely stress free. He walked me through every step, followed up and stayed in touch throughout the process and explained everything in detail so that I thoroughly understood it all. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, capable and very reliable attorney. He made a very daunting decision/situation less worrisome.

Extremely professional, extraordinarily nice
Mr. Gorski, smoothly paved every step of the chapter 13 process for us. He was rapidly responsive, and had the answers before we even asked the questions. He was always on top of every issue, and was extremely kind and considerate during this difficult time. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. I couldn't recommend him more strongly to anyone who needs his services.

Very Happy
I just want to take a moment and thank Alan Gorski for his help and guidance during a very emotional time of my life. He was patient and understood the stresses I was undergoing while dealing with imaginable circumstances. He was honest, knowledgable, personable and responsive. I felt that he was a partner vs. being my lawyer during this process. I highly recommend him for anyone looking at the unfortunate case of bankruptcy. Thank you again Alan. -J
