Professional and Understanding Lawyer

I think most young adults live above their means when they first start working and have access to increasingly larger credit lines. That was my situation. I earned an above average salary, but was still paying for debt that was 10+ years old. As a single woman, keeping up with payments wasn't a probl...em. As a single mother, suffice to say I couldn't keep up with my minimum monthly payments AND provide for my daughter and myself. I went to the office of Mr. David Brodman and it was like he was a long time friend. He listened to my situation. Took notes. Offered advise and cheered me up when I was at my bleakest with magic tricks (literally) that brought a smile to my face. For the first time, the possibility of digging myself out of debt was on the horizon. Mr. Brodman was clear and honest. He assessed my case and worked with me to ensure that when I filed it couldn't be contested. When my case was presented, even the trustee commented how much Mr. Brodman knew the laws - there was no room to question anything in my filing. I went in nervous and came out almost in tears from the weight that was lifted off my shoulders. Filing is never an easy decision. It was one I mulled over for months. I'm grateful to have stumbled upon Mr. Brodman's website and consider myself smart for having the conviction to reach out. I would, without reservation, recommend his services to anyone considering filing. Take advantage of the free consultation and get expert advise. During my court appointment there was a gentleman without legal representation who's case was dismissed due to a lack of proper documentation. There was also a young woman with legal representation that had to have her case rescheduled because her lawyer didn't file a necessary amendment. Don't attempt to go at this out. Don't be that person. Hire Mr. Brodman if you truly want a better financial future.

My Knight in Shining Armor

I found David Brodman in a Bronx lawyers brochure and I made an appointment off of a whim of mine, and went into his office one afternoon. As I sat there I said to myself "oh lord, will he be the one to save me from the mess I've gotten myself into?" I had multiple doubts in my mind about his integri...ty as well as his character at first. Could I trust him? Was he an honest person? But as we kept discussing my case ultimately all of my doubts began to melt away. He even said to me that if he was unable to win this case for me he would give me my money back. Where do you find a lawyer with such integrity? I quiet nearly found myself lost in a sea of anxiety and depression, but David stood by me through it all, and helped me reclaim my life. For this he will forever remain a priceless human being. It was a win win, and I owe it all to him. At long last I have been given my life back.

The Best Bankruptcy Lawyer in The Bronx!!!

Having served over 5 years in the U.S. Army, I have become very observant of peoples character and can judge them fairly well. Also, Having been turned away from another lawyer, David did not hesitate with analyzing what my situation required and went right to work. David was highly professional and ...extremely accommodating with my bankruptcy case. He made the process easy and took care of getting everything for my case ready and on time. David took the necessary requirements to make the bankruptcy experience painless, friendly and very affordable. On the day of my confirmation hearing, there were over 60 cases being heard for review. David's client including myself, were almost the only cases being approved for confirmation. That right there speaks for itself. I would highly recommend The Law Offices of David Brodman to anyone who is looking for a competent, compassionate and highly motivated lawyer.

The Best Decision I Have Ever Made In Life

Filing for bankruptcy is one of the most difficult financial decisions that one can make. So, after reviewing the reviews of local Bankruptcy attorneys here, on Avvo.com, I chose David Brodman, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I had an incredibly difficult case give...n the Chapter I was attempting to file, and the substantial extent of my debt; so much so that I know that many lawyers would have ultimately turned me down given the complexity of my financial situation. However, not only did David not walk away from my case, he advocated for me more fiercely than I could have ever imagined throughout the entire Bankruptcy process. As a client, and male of color, never once was I disrespected. Never once was I nickeled and dimed. Never once did my calls or emails go ignored. Never once did I feel like I was a bother to him or his time. Never once did I feel that my case was any less important than his many others. My 100th question throughout the entire process was treated as equally as my 1st. David proved to be, both, extremely knowledgeable and approachable throughout the entire filing process, and I believe without the shadow of a doubt that my filing would not have been a success had it not been for his extraordinary legal talent and his exceptional dedication to his clients and his practice. If you are at the unfortunate point of having to consider Bankruptcy, I strongly urge you to choose attorney David Brodman. I can promise you that you will be forever glad that you did.
