About Arthur
Biography
I am Arthur Lebedin of Lebedin Kofman LLP, and I am a New York & New Jersey debt relief attorney. Credit cards, student loans, and other consumer debt is a very common element in average life today. Sadly, when these debts get out of hand, or when income is reduced due to various circumstances, minor inconveniences can become overwhelming disasters very quickly. I have assisted many clients in various debt issues, and I have helped clients through the process of bankruptcy. I have seen the effects of tremendous debt loads, and I know how to help my clients. When you choose our firm, you will receive representation that is based on personal attention that each client deserves.

A miixed bag
Mr. Lebedin is a personable lawyer. He listened to me and at first handled my case expeditiously. However, he did not follow up when an important part of the agreement made with the opposition was not upheld. In fact, I felt abandoned, as his office simply closed the case in spite of a promise to...

Would strongly advise against using this law firm
I would strongly advise against using this law firm. They took advantage of my position as a cancer survivor to “take the money and run”, and only assisted with settling 1 of the 3 debts that I signed up for (the one which required a court appearance), then ignored my further inquiries as to the next...

That lawyer was actually very nice and seemed knowledgeable so I was fine wit...
