Chapter 11 Preference Demand defense

My experience with Mr. Drescher was excellent. He set up a zoom call soon after I contacted him on the site. He correctly ascertained all the details of my case and the actionable advise he gave me at the end of the call paved the way for my defense. He charged me nothing for this. I am very grateful for having met Mr. Drescher and I would recommend him to anybody who is seeking legal counsel in his areas of speciality.

Bankruptcy Guide

In the course of my Chapter 13 case, Ron walked me through the questions and circumstances associated with my case. He was up front with evaluating my next steps and his office kept me in the loop with any communications sent to and received from the Trustee. I recently received my discharge once I completed all of the required payments set out in the bankruptcy plan. Because we built Trust early in the process and we frequently interacted I did not have any additional objections to the payment plan thanks to Ron’s personal involvement. Ron had my best interest throughout this ordeal. He repeatedly proved to me that he was the right person for handling my case without a doubt. Do not look any further. Ron’s legal advice was on point and his legal team was always professional and supportive.

Beyond appreciative

I had the best experience with Drescher Law. I called after office hours with an emergency situation and got a call back from Ron personally that same night. He put my mind at ease. He had my back and fought on my behalf. My situation was resolved in a matter of days. Ron and his staff went above and beyond and I can't thank them enough.

excellent bankruptcy attorney

I consulted Ron after working with several bankruptcy attorneys, and his knowledge and expertise in this area is superb. He immediately got to the crux of the matter, calmed my fears, explained patiently what the options were, and gave me hope. I highly recommend him to anyone going through this nightmare. His fee structure is more than reasonable, and he will be there every step of the way with you.

Excellent Service

No one dreams of having to file for bankruptcy, but, when reality sets in with no other alternative, Drescher and Associates is the team you want to represent you. From my initial consultation, I was kept informed of what to expect and received guidance throughout out the entire process. It was, and is, an emotional and difficult time; Mr. Drescher and his team of professionals never lost sight of this. I never once felt like just a case number, or that who I was could be found in a file folder. I, personally, am thankful I found them and would highly recommend everyone to him.

Excellent

We found Ron Drescher online, and we feel so lucky! After the combination of some business problems, bad decisions, a large mortgage and home values dropping, we were in trouble. With the guidance and support of Ron and his team, we studied our options and filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Now, years later, we have successfully completed our Chapter 13 bankruptcy! Ron and his team were with us throughout the process. It is a wonderful feeling! We highly recommend Ron Drescher!

I have had a wonderful experience working with Mr. Drescher. He and his staff have answered all questions I had and have kept in contact with me throughout the hard decisions I had to make. I would recommend speeking with Mr. Drescher and his staff to obtain help during any financial crisis.

Posted by Michael | September 15, 2017

He is the BEST! Forget the rest!

I have been working with Ron Drescher since 2013. I owned ar very large company, and suffered kidney failure. I need a kidney transplant, and was in the process of working out a re-organization on my business. Ron was there at my beckon call, and still managed to get me through while I lay helpless Johns Hopkins Hospital with my wife who donated a kidney to me. I have dealt with many attorneys in my life, being 71 now, but I would recommend Ron to anyone who is considering filing bankruptcy. Not only did he take care of my business, which put me into a financial plunge, he worked with me on a personal bankruptcy, which involved helping me to make my wife feel better about things. She was a nervous wreck. He calmed her down, and made her feel so good that we were able to look into the future of our life with positivity, instead of the bleak state of affairs that we were currently in. I'm not afraid to tell you my name which is Michael Zabec because I would like to help as many people as I possibly get the best professional help that they can and Mr. Drescher can and will make this possible for you. If you would like to speak to me personally just ask Mr. Drescher for my number. God bless all of you are suffering financial devastation, but there is help. Today is September 15th, 2017, and this is the first day that I can move on with peace of mind for the rest of my life.
