Chapter 7 Filing

I have used Ronald Weiss for several matters and found him to be friendly, knowledgeable and affordable. After my Dad had passed there was not enough income to support my house or my bills. Ron filed a Chapter 7 case to eliminate the debt and to stop the foreclosure sale. Now we are working on an Ord...er to Show Cause to try to dismiss the foreclosure action based on several irregularities. In a down to earth but serious manner he has always been supportive of my situation and understanding of my difficulties. Visiting his office has always been a nice experience.

Chapter 13 legal services

We first used the office of Mr. Weiss for a Chapter 13 case that we filed in 2003 to deal with mortgage arrears against our home. The legal services were very professional and much better than we expected. Our Chapter 13 plan was confirmed and then successfully completed in 2008. The case had allowe...d us to discharge all our debt, save our home and become totally current with our mortgage. Now in August 2014 we are going to file another Chapter 13 case for our investment property which has significant real estate tax arrears. We came back to Mr. Weiss who again was patient, and efficient and returned our calls promptly.

Foreclosure Defense and Mortgage Modification

I consulted with Ronald Weiss after going through a nasty divorce where I gained custody of my daughter but seemed to be on the verge of losing everything else. My house was in deep foreclosure, my phone was ringing off the hook with creditors demanding payment and I still owed a bundle from the divo...rce. I called modification companies, debt negotiation companies, bankruptcy attorneys etc. all of whom had a narrow agenda and wanted to be paid more than I could afford. Then I went to Mr. Weiss's office and it was like a breath of fresh air. I received a long consultation on the phone and then in person at his office. Each time I spoke to Mr. Weiss he seemed thoughtful, knowledgeable and caring. But most of all he had a plan and know how to help me. We discussed bankruptcy, foreclosure defense and mortgage modification. He was able to tell me what made sense to do when. My debt is gone and because I was a pain for the bank due to his defense we are now in a pretty decent modification that I hope will save the house. Most of all my ulcer is gone and I can share a laugh with my daughter. Thanks guys (keep up the good work!)

Help with Severe Financial Hardship

I am a former client of Ronald D. Weiss for a Chapter 13 case and a current client for a Chapter 7 case. I first heard about his office and their services through an informative mail solicitation. At that time I was dealing with severe financial hardship-mostly with keeping up with my mortgage paymen...ts. The bank was attempting to foreclose on my home, having already designated a sale date. I knew I had very little time for any course of action. Ronald D. Weiss advised on several options available to me. The law office of Ronald D. Weiss not only dealt with my matter as I had hoped, but they handled my issues professionally. What I liked the most about my experience was the overall efficiency of his office, as his staff were prompt in their correspondence. I would not hesitate in recommending Ronald D. Weiss’ legal services, in fact I have already referred many of my friends and family.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

We had a good experience in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case where Ronald Weiss represented my wife and myself. We needed to get relief from lots of business and personal debt. We were very anxious but felt calm the moment we sat down with Ron. We feel unburdened and lighter on our feet. We now usually... smile rather than frown and have the money for Arthur Murray classes . Definitely was the right move. Thank you.
