Best Bankruptcy Lawyer!

If I can leave more stars I would. The past two years of my life have been absolute hell. I had three unfortunate events that took me from financially ok to being thousands upon thousands in debit. Most having to do with medical bills which threw me over the edge. Already suffering with major depression and anxiety for most of my life I seeked Mr Zazzera for advice. I did not want to file bankruptcy but honestly it was the only option to get me out of the mess I was in. Mr Zazzera is very very calm and easy to talk to. He is very reassuring. The secretary is very helpful in answering questions also. They made the process very easy from start to finish. I have attention deficit and do not like tests or filling out forms but the bankruptcy courses were simple and I was able to go at my own pace. I would highly recommend Mr Zazzera and if I’d ever have to go thru this again I would call him of course. My credit score is better now than when I was struggling to pay my bills. I feel free to start my life over again. Please take my advice from a regular person - I know what it feels like to worry and have to decide if I’m going to eat or pay credit card minimums, it just got to out of control and put me in a bad state mentally, just bite the bullet and file for bankruptcy and start over again. I knew it was impossible for me to ever catch up. Good luck to all who is reading this. I would not hesitate to call Mr Zazzera!!! If you are reading this Mr. Zazzera I cannot thank you enough and I will never forget you and how professional you are!!

Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Meeting Kevin and his staff has been a positive life changing event. For nearly twenty years, I've struggled with finances and that burden hindered personal relationships, limited paths to success and affected my own general mental well being. My initial phone consultation with Kevin was free and he provided enough clarity to see a positive path forward with relief insight. Kevin specializes only in bankruptcy law and as a result, he has thorough knowledge of the process and conveys that in a friendly guided way. Kevin and his staff handle the whole process from start to finish and are available to address any issues that may arise. Despite the dedicated and personalized attention, his fees are simple, reasonable and justified--all without any hidden fees or additional charges for things that may arise. I can not thank him enough nor give a higher recommendation for his services. If you currently deal with financial struggles, do not hesitate to give Kevin a call and get on a positive path for the future. Thank you and good luck.

You're in good hands

Can't say enough about how wonderful Kevin was during a highly stressful procedure. He has a thorough knowledge of the law and courts, and patiently led me through every step. There were no surprises and no loose ends. Furthermore, he's a genuine human being, not an impersonal functionary. He helped me understand that it wasn't the end of the world, and that I could go on after bankruptcy.

Highly Reommend

Kevin Zazerra was extremely helpful in guiding me through the bankruptcy process at a time when I had to make some very important decisions. He was completely thorough and informative. From the moment I walked into his office and met with his assistant I felt totally at ease. Mr. Zazerra was aways available to answer any questions I had from the beginning to the end and even after we completed the process. He is professional, kind and caring and I recommend him highly.

Zealous advocate for my loan modification!

I have been seeking a loan modification since 2011. I sought the support of private and public agencies that "guaranteed" success. All they guaranteed me was loss of my money with no satisfactory results. I hired a personal attorney who not only took my money without satisfactory results but was demanding more money to help me and is now in prison. Kevin Zazzera was up front about being paid for his service but he earned every penny we gave him. He called me today with great news and as we discussed the success we learned it was even better than he initially realized. My house has been saved, the modification is in place and our lives can now move on thanks to Kevin and his persistent never-quit determination and attitude. If you need a zealous advocate contact Kevin Zazzera!

Don't look any further! Kevin is the best attorney you're will find.

I hired Kevin when I didn't know what to do. I was not eligible for Bankruptcy at the time. But still he worked w me & my court cases! When I was eligible for Bankruptcy again he worked with me & got me through this! He gave me peace of mind the entire time! It was not as overwhelming as I thought it would be. He made it simple and easy. What a blessing! Seriously call him & hire him and your life will change as mine has. I am forever grateful! Thank you Kevin for what you do. I can move on with a new life!
