Mr. Kitchen has handled many legal issues for both my family and our not-for-profit ministry. He always handles himself with professionalism, excellence and kindness. I've never felt like he was in judgement of my choices, decisions or concerns and always treated me more as a friend than a client. His commitment to serving others is evidenced by the pro-bono work he has done for our ministry as well as others. It is an honor to have him as President of the Board of Directors because of his leadership qualities, his quiet confidence and his wise counsel. Both my wife, Cheryl and I recommend his legal advice across many issues.

Outstanding!

Denis Kitchen truly helped me with a personal financial problem. He answered any questions I had and directed me thoroughly through the process! Also, our family had an emergency where my mom became sick fast and needed nursing home care ASAP. I called Denis Kitchen quite upset because we needed a power of attorney for my mom quickly! Denis Kitchen was very compassionate and met us at the hospital to get the paperwork completed! He often goes above and beyond the call of duty! I would highly recommend Denis Kitchen!

He made bankruptcy a "good" experience!

This lawyer was recommended to me by another lawyer when my husband's death created a financial crisis for me. We had used up all our financial resources during several years of my husband's health crisis. When he had used up all his credit, I continued paying for his care with my own credit. When my husband died, his unpaid bills and credit debt were gone, but all the bills I had paid with MY credit were still there and I then had only half of my previous income. It was not enough. Since I was 74, with my own health issues and had only Social Security to live on, my options were limited. A consult with Denis Kitchen was recommended by another lawyer and a friend of mine. Mr. Kitchen was wonderful. He was sympathetic and understanding of my situation. We decided that bankruptcy was the solution to my problem and it would give me a chance for some kind of a future. He was wonderful to work with, answering all my questions, and always just a phone call away. I hired him to lead me through the bankruptcy and his price was very reasonable. Things went smoothly and my case was completed successfully within six months. I am now proceeding with my "new" life, thanks to the help I received from Denis Kitchen.

Got out of $40,500 in student loan debt

I hired Denis Kitchen to help me file bankruptcy. In addition to bringing a 522 motion to avoid judicial liens on my property, he brought a motion in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to discharge my student loan debt. The motion was granted and I didn’t have to pay my student loans because I became permanently disabled and was unable to work as a teacher. My student loan debt was acquired to become a teacher and since I couldn’t work as a teacher, my loans were discharged. He was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous, making the process easy.

Professional Attorney In Western New York

Denis Kitchen helped me with a criminal case whereby I was charged with a violation. Mr. Kitchen was very informative as to how to defend me with the case. He attended multiple court appearances as needed. He also answered all of the questions that I had with the legal processes. In the end, the charges were dismissed. Mr. Kitchen and I decided to file a case in federal court, in which the case is currently pending. He has been very friendly during the various consultations at his office. I would highly recommend his services to anyone that might be in need of his services.
