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

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.

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!

Ethics violations and breaching a contract

Alla Kachan signed a contract and request a full payment for it, charged additional payment for filling fees for bankruptcy petition and charged money for opply for pro vac vice to represent me in different state. After she took my money she tryed to offer me insted to be my consultant and send me t...o court myself without representing me and telling me that a crazy state wuth their regulations. I lost money bc of her and hired a best local lawyer in Mn who was able to partially saved me. She is a liar and I am taking her to court for Ethics violations and breaching a contract.

We take accusations such as these very seriously and categorically deny the claims made in this review. Our firm operates with strict adherence to professional conduct, legal ethics, and the terms outlined in our client agreements. All fees and services—including court filings, pro hac vice applications, and representation in out-of-state matters—are thoroughly discussed and documented in writing before work begins. At no point are clients left uncertain about the nature of our representation or what is required under the laws of another jurisdiction. In this case, our attorney acted in full accordance with the contract signed and clearly communicated all options, limitations, and legal realities regarding representation in another state. When it became evident that your expectations exceeded what was ethically or legally permissible under local court rules, we responsibly offered alternative approaches. Calling our firm or its attorneys “liars” and making threats of legal action online is both defamatory and inaccurate. If you believe you have a legitimate legal grievance, the appropriate avenue is through the court system—not public accusations that misrepresent facts and damage reputations. We are confident in the integrity of our conduct and will fully defend ourselves through the proper legal channels if necessary. Sincerely, Alla Kachan
