Excellent Outcome

Mr. Cushner is an expert in his field. He is thoughtful, diligent, and compassionate. I’m genuinely grateful for his representation as I navigated an action brought on by an unscrupulous debt collector. Aware that this created a risk to my reputation and career, Mr. Cushner acted expeditiously to res...olve the matter and ensure my rights were protected. The outcome was better than expected and most importantly, I have peace of mind. I highly recommend. Mr. Cushner. It’s rare to find someone who you can count on and trust but he’s that person. His rates are also very fair.

Remarkable Attorney I highly recommend, look no further!

What a great decision we made to hire Todd Cushner. I have only good things to say about the experience my wife and I had with Todd Cushner representing us in our bankruptcy. Todd is a truly remarkable, knowledgeable Attorney as well as a wonderful and compassionate human being. He was always th...ere for us, promptly answering every question that crossed our minds, reassuring us in a difficult time and leading us to a successful outcome. Angelia one of his paralegals was also a pleasure to work with. Thank you both so much!

The Best

I can not say enough good things about Todd Cushner and his staff. I had been struggling with the thought of having to file for bankruptcy, but the stress and embarrassment was affecting my health physically and mentally. i finally garnered the courage to make the call to Todd's office and what i tho...ught was going to be the most difficult call of my life was quickly abated. i spoke with Lauree Milone for about 10 minutes and she quickly assured me that Todd would help me, she took all my info and set up an appointment to meet with Todd within days. i am soooo glad a made that call and that it was the right choice of who to represent my wife and I. Todd met with us and i left his office feeling the weight of the world was lifted from my shoulders. Todd and his staff handled everything quickly and perfectly. Todd is always available to answer any question, i never had to leave a voice mail always was able to get in touch with him or his staff. James Rufo is also a gem, he helped with our case and also was always available to answer a question at any time. there were no surprises and everything went perfectly. The entire staff are wonderful human beings , never made us feel anything but like welcome friends, they are so welcoming and supportive. Alyssa Fiorentino went over our petition with us and answered any questions we had. Angela is always quick to respond to any issue with creditors and handled our paperwork. They also were able to get my mortgage modified ,which i hadn't expected. Todd's staff are all-stars. im a blue collar guy and wear my heart on my sleeve, if i had any problem i would absolutely not hold my tongue. i know this is a little long but i feel it is the least i could do. so if you are feeling overwhelmed, ashamed or embarrassed, like i was and are struggling to decide what to do, i urge you to make the call and make the call to Todd Cushner and Associates.

Bankrtupcy Attorney: Protection + Dignity

I interviewed four attorneys before I met Mr. Cushner. He is disciplined, professional, and has a real, beating heart. We had been suffering for months, maybe years. He handled the legal process like an orchestra conductor, but as importantly, he afforded me my dignity in the process. I am sure th...ere are other good attorneys out there, but there are not any who are better. Save yourself the agony you think has to be part of this, and if you are considering bankruptcy, please call his office before you do anything else.
