New Beginning

My wife told me about a filing, I was hesitant because I was disabled and feared losing everything, especially my family. However, when it came to the point of almost losing our home, I decided to stop resisting. I started my research to find the best lawyer for our situation, we were blessed to f...ind David J. Babel Esq. We made an appointment, his office told us what to bring, we brought all that he asked for and from day one to the very end, that was his only request, “have your paperwork ready.” We were ready, and he led us through the daunting task of filing. He made no promises he couldn’t accomplish, he was upfront and honest. He helped us save our home and settled our debts. He gave us a second chance, we were able to “start afresh” thanks to his office. We keep his contact information accessible, just in case anyone ever express the need of a good lawyer, who has empathy and does his best for his clients. We will always be thankful for all the work he did. - Harris Family

Testimonial

Filing bankruptcy was a first for me and needless to say, I was devastated. I have always tried to be responsible when it came to my finances and I have no idea when things got out of control. However, after trying unsuccessfully to get myself out of debt on my own, I saught legal advice. I saw one o...f Mr. Babel's ads on TV and decided to give him a call and we set up an appointment. Much to my surprise, his staff were very courteous and made me feel at ease when I arrived at his office. After filling out the necessary forms, I was given the cost and I honestly didn't know if I would be able to pay the amount, but I was given a payment plan that worked for me. Throughout the process, Mr. Babel was patient and him and his staff were available to answer all my questions at any time. Mr. Babel is a professional whose expertise was evident. He made a situation that was traumatic for me so much easier to handle. I will recommend his Lawfirm to anyone who needs assistance with their finances.

I can finally smile

Last year at this time, I was so depressed because I didn't know how I was going to pay any of my bills. I never thought I would be able to go bankrupt because of my salary and additional income my child received. I was nervous because next year, once my daughter turned 18, I would not be receiving... that additional income and the thought of it all not only ruined my holidays but ruined every day because that is all I had on my mind. From the moment I called Mr. Babel's office, (and Mr. Babel personally got on the phone with me), I felt like there was going to be a light at the end of the dark tunnel I was in for so long. He did everything he could to find the right chapter to file because not only would I be better financially today but but I would be ok in the years to come when I had less income. I highly recommend Mr. Babel. His entire staff were very compassionate and made me feel very comfortable. I thank him for his expertise as if were not for him, I would still be in the same dark place. Sincerely, Grace
