David Norman Portney

Filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy at the young age of 26 is certainly not something to be proud of. Obviously I've made some mistakes in my life and I was afraid of making another mistake of choosing the wrong bankruptcy lawyer. After meeting with Mr. Portney for the first time, I was confident that I had ...a highly experienced lawyer and at a very affordable price too! Not to mention he returned my calls shortly after I left a message which I feel is hard for some businesses. He didn't beat around the bush and he was straight forward with what I needed to do and how I needed to go about it, since I was nervous and I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. Within no time, my bankruptcy was filed and I had my hearing scheduled. Mr. Portney was right by my side during the hearing and assured me that everything was going to be alright. The hearing was quick and painless and everything was done. As I await my discharge paperwork, I can say with confidence that I made the right decision with Mr. Portney and this law firm. Thank you again sir!

My chapter 7 case could have had many unusual complications. David prepared me for them, but everything proceeded smoothly.. He kept me informed throughout the process, but really all the pressure was off once I retained him. What a relief! David exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend... him.

David walked me through the intricacies of a chapter 7 filing and did great work on my behalf. He presented my case competently and with great care. His fees were extremely reasonable and the amount of time and attention he paid to my case was extraordinary. I would recommend using him in any ...creditor action for anyone.

Guided us through chapter 13 then a chapter 7. Always available for questions. Really put our minds at ease. Always calm. We never felt we asked dumb questions. Always treated us honestly and professionally. Helped in this difficult situation. Very honest and open. Explained what to expect every s...tep of the way. Would recommend highly!

David Portney represented and guided me through the process of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy which was later converted to Chapter 7. David knows the Maryland bankruptcy laws and court process thoroughly. All I had to do is bring in the requested paperwork and answer his questions as he input my responses a...nd quickly produced the documents used in the bankruptcy process. In addition, David is personable and compassionate helping to ease the anxiety I had at the onset and during the hearings. Two years after my initial Chapter 13 filing, I was diagnosed with leukemia and incurred mounting medical expenses. David immediately and swiftly converted the Chapter 13 to Chapter 7, all the while assuring me that everything is going to work out, and it has.
