Heath Berger is Aces!

This might have been one of the best decisions I've ever made. After going through a separation with my spouse of 20 years who filed bankruptcy and left me with a mortgage our kids and all our bills, I sought help and despite weighing the pros (which were far greater) and cons of filing bankruptcy, ...I could not get over the stigma of filing or the fear that this would be a big mistake. After consulting with Heath, he laid it all out for me, it was really that simple and besides getting the required paperwork together and taking the required debtor educational classes, he and his firm (specifically his assistant Candice) took care of everything. I know I bugged him in the beginning, ok..., ok... the whole time with questions and concerns, but if I had known how simple it really was I wouldn't have hesitated. I cannot thank Heath Berger enough for his guidance through the process. If you are on or near Long Island I cannot recommend the lawyers at Berger, Fischoff & Shumer enough if you are thinking about or need help with your bankruptcy case.

Great Attorney!

I was referred to Mr. Berger by a friend. Contacting Mr. Berger was the best decision I have made. He was very knowledgeable and kept me well informed of the progress of the case. He made the entire process much less stressful. He really listened and understood what I wanted. Mr. Berger was able... to get me the best settlement that I could have ever hoped for. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is in need of an attorney for any family court matters.

Top-Notch

Mr. Berger is a top-notch, responsible, and outstanding attorney. He was helpful, pleasant, and best of all, well-informed, and keeps abreast of all the latest rules and regulations in his field of expertise. He took the worry and concern out of declaring bankruptcy, and made me feel as though I wer...e controling my finances, rather than the other way around. I cannot thank him enough-he is a true professional and a gentleman.
