Highly recommend

I can’t thank Allen Gorski enough for his guidance and support throughout my bankruptcy process. From the very beginning, he was incredibly thorough in explaining each step, making sure I understood what to expect, and answering all of my questions with patience and clarity. Bankruptcy can feel like ...such a daunting and overwhelming process, but his professionalism, kindness, and steady guidance truly helped ease my worries during a very difficult time in my life. I am so grateful for his expertise and compassion, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a knowledgeable and supportive attorney.

Best Best Best Bankruptcy Attorney

After meeting with a few other bankruptcy attorneys, I can truly say how grateful I am to have met and immediately hired Allen. Allen and his team offered great advice, service, and support, throughout the entire process. His patience, professionalism, and empathy, towards this unfortunate time w...as outstanding. He made a very embarrassing part of my life, sincere and pleasurable. I will always hold Allen and his firm in the highest regards! With gratitude, David

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.

  • 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.
