Brilliant lawyer!!
Mr. Black is not only an amazing lawyer but is truly a caring person. I came to him after seeing another bankruptcy lawyer. What a difference! He was honest, clear, professional, compassionate and thorough. The other lawyer had been vague and did not communicate well with me about the next steps. But Mr. Black took the time to answer all my questions. He saved me from a terrible situation financially and understood that good people sometimes get in a bad place and deserve a fresh start. He gave me that and I will be forever jackgrateful to him and his staff. There is no one better!

Mr Black handled my chapter 7 case. I was made aware of all of my options. Everything was explained to me before the proceedings I was always made aware of all things beneficial to my case. I have used him before and because of my experience with him I knew it would be good for me to use him again. Very professional and polite.

Bankruptcy case
Mr Black and his staff are professional, courteous and prompt. My case went on for almost 4 years and it was the most difficult and stressful time of my life. Mr. Black informed me of all my options and pointed me in the right direction when my judgement was less than ideal due to financial, physical and emotional hardship. Thank you Mr Black, Marissa and all the office staff at Black, Stranick and Cella....you are all top notch professionals!

David Black is the best!
David was referred by another attorney that we knew & we quickly realized why. We hired David to complete a Chapter 7 bankruptcy for us (which worked out amazingly!) and he is now working on a loan modification for our home. He and his staff have been very thorough, competent, as well as comforting from day one. They have always been available to answer questions and to guide us through the process. Now what we love most about David is his demeanor. He is extremely calm as well as extremely confident in his abilities and knowledge. This combination was exactly what my wife & I needed to put us at ease during a very stressful time in our lives. We are so very thankful and blessed to have had (and still have!) David and his staff on our side!

Smooth sailing
The office is kind, thorough, understanding of the situation. I was given full complete descriptions of what I needed to know and felt very safe and comfortable discussing information for my circumstance. If you are lucky enough to get Melissa working on your case you are in superb hands. She was very patient and and answered my questions in terms I could understand. You will be happy with Mr. Black's representation! Highly recommend!

David R. Black
Our attorney and his staff did a remarkable job in the handling of our personal bankruptcy. Ours was a somewhat complicated bankruptcy and we totally relied on the answers given by Mr Black and/or his staff as well as the meetings and rather voluminous paper work that we had to prepare and double check with our attorney and his staff in preparation for filing our bankruptcy. After everything was in order and double checked we had our initial and only meeting with the court which our attorney also attended. As all was in order our meeting in front of the court went rather quickly. During the entire process whenever we had a question or concern for Mr. Black it was either promptly answered by him or the answer was given thru one of his paralegals who checked for us before providing an answer.

Outstanding service by Mr. Black and his staff. His knowledge and expertise in Bankruptcy assisted me in my Chapter 13 bankruptcy. When I became permanently disabled, Mr. Black and staff had my Chapter 13 discharged by a judge. I highly recommend Mr. Black. I appreciated his Courtesy and Professionalism on my case.

happy with attorney
my attorney was wonderful, very reassuring thru this whole ordeal, he was available when I was panicked, he took care of my situation with ease, even though i felt like everything was falling apart, he reassured me that sometimes things are out of our control. He was extremely competent. The only thing that i found upsetting was that the paralegal assigned to my case took another position before the case was closed; however the new paralegal is very knowledgeable and i liked her a lot, it was just the fear of having to start with a new paralegal but i didn't need to do that since she had all of the notes and was on top of everything.

My Experience
I had filed for bankruptcy after my divorce and realized I had made the correct attorney choice. The entire experience went smoothly. I gathered my information and then filed. Before long I was in court feeling confident about my decisions. I would highly recommend this firm to others in similar situations. Regards, TB Sharon

Thank you!
Thank you so very much for all your support, guidance, advice and help during our bankruptcy. It was a difficult time for us and you truly helped us feel like we were not alone and that we could come out of this still feeling whole. I do not think I could ever thank you enough for comforting me when I felt the mental pressure of the whole situation weighing me down. We wish you all the best.
