Review Alfred Abel

Alfred Abel makes it easy.

Posted by

Alfred was easy to deal with and explained things as situations arose. Offered advice that worked well with our needs. Alfred handled our case entirely, including filing all paperwork and dealt with US Bankruptcy Court officers and creditors.

Incredible Experience

Posted by

Alfred and I worked on a bankruptcy case together. It was a really stressful time in my life, but even at our first consult, I knew I was in good hands. He knew exactly what he was doing. He gave me clear steps to follow and assured me this situation could get taken care of. Looking back, I'm utterly impressed at how smooth Mr. Abel made the whole process. Hard times can leave people desperate for a crutch, and I'm so glad I used Alfred M. Abel as my attorney. I'd recommend him to anyone.

Thank you so very much!

I want to thank Alfred and his amazing staff for all of the hard work that goes into this situation. I never in my life, until last year (2014), thought I would ever be put in this position. Everyone there assured me - Do not be ashamed - this is not your fault (Well, yes it is in my mind). Thank you to Jess, Christina and all others involved along with Alfred to get this done! Thank you so very much!

From the second my wife and I walked through the door to Mr. Abel's office we felt relaxed and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Mr. Abel set our minds at ease knowing we had chosen a lawyer who not only cared about helping us but also explains the entire process and answering any and all questions we had. I strongly recommend using Mr. Abel for your legal needs.

Alfred and his staff went above and beyond when guiding me through the process of filing for bankruptcy. Every step was well communicated to me in a way that was easy to understand and if I had a question the answer was promptly given. I would highly recommend Alfred to anyone who is trying to make the tough decision of whether or not to file for bankruptcy.

I endorse this lawyer. I have referred numerous clients to Mr. Abel over the ten years I have known him. Often, these have been my valued clients who need his expertise in matters relating to debt collection. I have referred business creditors as well as persons being sued for collection of debts. Al has a profound understanding of both sides of the collection and bankruptcy laws. The clients I have referred to him have been extremely happy with his handling of their legal matters. He is easily approachable, diligent, and has the ability to explain the complexities of these issues in plain English so the client doesn't feel lost. I will continue to refer clients with these issues to Al Abel in the future and have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
