Posted by anonymous | February 22, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Three years, significant fees, no resolution

I initially sought legal assistance to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Instead, I was persuaded to pursue Chapter 11 for my company, even though I did not fully understand the difference between the procedures and relied entirely on professional advice. The case dragged on for more than three years. Du...ring that time, I continued paying legal fees, yet the matter was never completed. I suffered significant financial loss and prolonged stress throughout this period. When I began to question the situation, I consulted multiple independent attorneys. Their response was surprising — they expressed concern about the strategy used in my case and indicated that my situation could likely have been handled much more simply, significantly faster, and at a fraction of the cost — potentially within just a few months. Based on my experience, the path I was directed toward proved to be unnecessarily complex and extremely costly. It gave me the impression that the approach increased the duration and expense of the case rather than prioritizing the client’s best interests. I did not feel that my interests were placed first. As a result, I lost substantial money, years of time, and trust. For these reasons, I would not recommend hiring this attorney and strongly urge anyone considering this firm to seek independent legal opinions before signing any agreement

DO NOT HIRE ALLA

I had an initially positive experience working with Alla, decided to not move forward and was charged $3K+ !! Watch out for how reasonable she is and how easy it is (or really lack thereof) to work with her. Unfortunately I had a negative experience at the end. Buyer beware and I thought appropria...te to warn others! There are many lawyers out there and I'm sure would be more capable and reasonable. I would recommend to NOT work with her. I have filed a complaint with the NY Bar as well. If you have the same negative experience, I would suggest you do the same and utilize the rights you have.

Replied last December 10, 2025

Our office has an impeccable record in the Eastern District Bankruptcy Court, Southern District Bankruptcy Court, and the District of New Jersey. We file all of our Chapter 11 cases only in full compliance with all of the applicable Bankruptcy Court rules, and yield one of the highest chapter 11 plan confirmation rates in the district. Mr. Tejune has similarly falsely reviewed three other law offices, as it appears to be a pattern for this client. Mr. TeJune agreed and signed a retainer, setting forth the rules of the Bankruptcy Code, in that a Chapter 11 petition can not be filed before a full pre petition retainer is paid. Mr.Tejune had a full bankruptcy petition prepared with our office. Thus, when three months later, Mr. Tejune decided not to go forward with the filing, and requested a refund, he was promptly provided a partial refund, and advised that a fee was charged for the preparation of the Chapter 11 petition and all work that that entailed, as per the terms of his signed retainer. Our office acted in full compliance with the terms of a signed retainer agreement, and charged only the amount contracted for the services rendered. A look at Mr. TeJune's previous reviews shows that it is the practice for this client to obtain services, and then seek to avoid payment by threatening complaints, and making false public statements about the referenced businesses.

Lived Up To The Recommendations

Alla Kachan came highly recommended, and she absolutely lived up to it. During my consultation, she took over an hour to walk me through every step of the bankruptcy process, patiently and thoroughly. I was incredibly nervous going in—I thought filing would destroy my future—but Alla explained everyt...hing clearly and helped me understand exactly what to expect. I was overwhelmed with debt and struggling with anxiety, but Alla’s calm and knowledgeable approach gave me real peace of mind. What I appreciated most is that she wasn’t pushy at all—she encouraged me to take my time and think about it before making any decisions.

High Standards

I could not be more pleased with Alla Kachan's legal services. From our initial consultation to the final resolution of my debt matter, Alla demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, clear communication, and genuine courtesy. She was consistently prompt in providing updates and always respon...sive to any questions I had. Her extensive experience in debt defense and settlement was evident—she negotiated firmly and effectively on my behalf. Hiring Alla will give you peace of mind and, most importantly, a strong chance at a successful outcome.

Outstanding work and dedication

I had the pleasure of working with Alla Kachan during a challenging financial situation, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Alla provided exceptional guidance and critical insights that were instrumental in helping us reach a settlement. Her expertise not only streamlined the process but also ...helped us avoid filing for bankruptcy—a tremendous relief for everyone involved. Alla’s professionalism, depth of knowledge, and clear communication made a complex situation far more manageable. She was responsive, detail-oriented, and always had our best interests at heart. I’m truly grateful for her support and would confidently recommend her to anyone in need of smart, effective financial legal advice. Thank you, Alla, for your outstanding work and dedication!
