Posted by anonymous | July 21, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Grateful

I have written, and rewritten, this review a dozen times. Because, I can’t find words that adequately express the extent of my gratitude for Robert Grossbart. Mr. Grossbart was my bankruptcy attorney in my Chapter 7 bankruptcy case. Mr. Grossbart is incredibly empathetic, kind and ethical, which in m...y unfortunate experience with the legal system, are qualities that are lacking in many other attorneys. Without going into the painful details, my bankruptcy and the years-long prolonged litigation stemmed from extraordinarily traumatic life circumstances. Mr. Grossbart believed me, supported me, and advocated for me. My case was definitely a drain on his resources, and the resources of his firm. And since I had lost nearly everything, I didn’t have the financial resources to compensate him fully for the sheer magnitude of work he took on. But yet, he did the right thing by me: he continued to work on my behalf, responding to motion after motion that had no merit, and was beyond generous. Experiencing that generosity, and having someone advocate for me in court, has in and of itself been helpful for my healing. I won’t ever forget his kindness, and his willingness to represent me and get me through an exceptionally difficult time in my life. If you are considering filing bankruptcy, I am so sorry, because I know your pain. But, you should hire Mr. Grossbart to represent you. He’s a great attorney, but more importantly, a great human being.

An Expert making bankruptcy less stressful

This was my first time filing bankruptcy and Mr. Grossbart was the exact person for the job. Immediately upon my first visit I felt his sincerity in wanting to help me. His expert knowledge and years of experience is representative of his esteem repetition. Making my bankruptcy process less stressf...ul was a major factor in selecting an attorney since I was already concerned and emotional about the process and positive outcomes. Mr. Grossbart was also consistent in informing me of the step by step process which made me feel at ease, more optimistic and gave a better prospective. I would definitely recommend Mr. Grossbart and his partners without hesitation.

The best Bankruptcy Attorney!

As a client of Mr. Grossbart, I wanted to publicly offer my thanks and gratitude for his representation. After finding myself in financial chaos, I stumbled upon Mr. Grossbart. With his guidance, extensive knowledge, skills and abilities I am beginning to emerge from my financial problems with a ...hopeful outcome. Mr. Grossbart is extremely firm, compassionate, skilled and knowledgeable. I could not be more pleased and grateful for having his support and expertise regarding my case. I would highly recommend this bankruptcy attorney, to anyone wishing for a successful outcome and new financial beginning. Thank you, Mr. Grossbart....Ceasar.

Managed with care!

Making the decision to file bankruptcy is never an easy one. However, during my consultation with Mr. Robert Grossbart, I was made to feel at ease with my decision and the daunting process. Without passing judgement, Mr. Grossbart answered all of my questions with a very high degree of patience and p...rofesionalism, painstakingly ensuring that he communicated clearly and efficiently. He came highly recommended and I am extremely grateful to have him, and his office staff, manage my case with care and compassion.

"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."
