Dependable, knowledgeable, and accurate!

David Cahn completed a Bankruptcy for my Husband and I in our time of need. We had a death in the family. He was very efficient and the process was completed with ease. Also, whenever you need him, he is a quick phone call away. I absolutely recommend!

Prompt, professional and concise

He arrived at the time I expected and found me. The traffic citation that forced me to appear was dismissed. He did a great job of clearly explaining what was happening throughout the entire process. My first appearance in court was simpler and less stressful than I expected thanks to his expertise....

10 STARS In My Book!

After calling other bk lawyers for their services which were marginal and fees over-inflated, I took to Google and found David Cahn. I personally spoke with him, he was reasonable, and he outlined a plan for me to overcome a scheduled lawsuit by a creditor. I was skeptical at first--but, was soon ...very assured with his professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile. The plan succeeded! Even down to the wire David exceedingly did what he said he would do, as I too committed to my part, I emerged from the depths of drowning to a new life-line and peace-of- mind. I highly recommend David Cahn, he is an awesome lawyer, who is a devoted professional, capable, willing, and on-top-of-his-craft to assist anyone who is in need of his services. He is 10 STARS in my book if only these recommendations offered it!
