Professional, honest, integrity and great support

Mr. Robert Grossbart and Mr. David Portney of Grossbart, Portney & Rosenberg handled my Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. Both attorneys are extremely competent and well versed in the law. After meeting them both, I never had any doubt that my case would be handled with professional care and integrity. They we...re extremely honest in their approach and commuication with me during the filing of my case and always provided me with great support and follow-up to any questions or concerns that I had. Thanks to them both my case is in the process of being successfully discharged. I would highly recommend them both to anyone who may be faced with the need to file for bankruptcy.

Robert Grossbart/ David Portney review

David and Robert have done an excellent job in assisting my wife and I in our chapter 13 and subsequent chapter 7 filings. They have been thourogh, smart and dedicated as we went through this 2 year period. David and Robert are honest, compassionate, and always there to assist with any questions aris...ing from the bankruptcy. They made a tough situation much more tolerable. We highly recommend both lawyers.

Painless Bankruptcy!

Mr. Grossbart made my Chapter 7 bankruptcy virtually painless. He appears to be extremely knowledgeable in bankruptcy law and made the process quick and painless. I feel that my case was handled very efficiently and I'm very pleased. I would definitely recommend him to others!

Posted by anonymous | July 25, 2010 | Bankruptcy & Debt

Best possible results...

Bankruptcy is an excruciating choice-but once made, it is important to find someone knowledgeable, tough, and honest to assist in the legal process. Robert Grossbart has been and continues to be all of those things for us. Our case has presented him with definite challenges...Chapter 11 turning to C...hapter 13-second mortgage issues, yet he continues to fight for us-and so far-has put us in the best position possible. We can, and will get back on our feet . We are appreciative of his efforts on our behalf.

"I endorse Bob Grossbart. I first heard of Bob when I was working for Maryland Legal Aid Bureau in Salisbury in the 1990s. I used to have to travel over the bridge to attend Chapter 13 hearings. I was always impressed with his professionalism, integrity and knowledge of the law. I moved to Florida, but met Bob at a NACBA conference in New Orleans. As did I, Bob attended Max Gardner's Bankruptcy Boot Camp--the premiere training event for any lawyer in this practice area. Bob's input on the Boot Camp listserv shows that he has a high degree of professionalism, integrity and knowledge in this area. In addition, Bob offers real-life advice based on his experience which is crucial to debtors after they get their discharge of debt. If I lived in the Baltimore area and needed to hire a lawyer for debt defense, bankruptcy or foreclosure, I would hire Bob Grossbart."

"I have known Robert my entire legal career and quite simply, when a bankruptcy issue comes up – he is the only call I make. Bankruptcy is a highly technical area of law, in which one mistake could be the death of your case. Robert’s mastery of the procedures and issues in bankruptcy cases is second to none. Robert was the first person I ever heard discuss the then pending mortgage crisis and point out the flaws in the lender’s practices – simply stated Grossbart is on top of the law. Equally important, he understands the human side of consumer bankruptcy and takes time to thoroughly explain the process to his clients. Over the years I have referred clients and friends to Robert’s care and he has never disappointed."

"I refer all of our clients who have a bankruptcy problem ( Consumer Chapter 13 and Chapter 7) to Robert Grossbart's law firm. I think he does excellent work and really cares about his client's problem. His experience goes beyond just bankruptcy and he has expertise in pursuing credit card companies for violations of the Fair Credit Act, and other collateral claims that bankruptcy clients often have against their creditors in these difficult times."
