Jean Asher Rose

This is the second time Michael has handled a bankruptcy case for me. I called him immediately because he was so helpful the first time. Michael focused on the situation at hand and how to solve the problem without making me feel guilty or bad about myself, which I really appreciated under the circ...umstances. He has done this work for a number of years now, so everything happened quickly and efficiently on his end - as soon as he had received all my paperwork, he put together and submitted my application, which felt like a huge weight lifted off me. My chapter 7 bankruptcy case was discharged in just over 60 days, the fastest possible outcome. I feel so relieved and happy not to be living in a constant state of panic anymore. Thank you Michael for giving me back my life!!

Best decision I ever made

If you are seaking representation for a bankruptsy, Michael Schwartz is the ONLY choice to make. He was honest, helpful, kind, understanding patient and affordable.. Michael would even answer my phone calls on weekends and believe it or not but on his vacation as well. He explained things to me st...ep by step and everything went as planned and on schedule, NO HIDDEN FEES. My bankruptsy is now over, thanks to Michael. Hopefully I will never need his services again. LOL Thank you agin Michael ... Job Well done Sincerely, Lynn Gable

Michael Schwartz was one of the best attorneys I’ve had in my life. By education he’s a chemical engineer and an attorney and extremely bright, talented guy. He gave me great advice all the way through. I can’t say enough good about them. I’ve actually referred him to other people.

In Re: Robinson

Our plan was approve to repay the IRS $12,000 of the debt and $500 to the PA Department of Revenue over a five year payment plan.

In Re: Stocklin

By filing Chapter 13, we were able to stop the foreclosure and get them back on track with the mortgage company

In Re: Borish

By filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, we were able to give them the time they needed to move into a new home while discharging all debt owed.
