Pleasure to work with!

A friend recommended Keith after she’d had a very pleasant experience. I came to Keith with a lot of questions and uncertainty, he was able to answer each one calmly and efficiently. I wasn’t sure what my next move would be with my divorce or bankruptcy and he helped me pick the right path for me i...n not only the short but the long term as well. He was quick with emails and phone calls and if he couldn’t get to me immediately his assistant did. I never felt like I was waiting for answers. During one of the most confusing times in my life Keith was there to make everything seem not so scary. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for answers from a straight shooter.

Quick and to the point!

Keith worked on my bankruptcy case a couple months back. I went in with no intentions of filing but to simply hear my options. After the meeting and how easily he explained the different scenarios and possibilities it was a no brainer. We filed a month later and it’s been smooth sailing since. Eve...ry call and email that has been sent to him has been answered quickly! There are still questions that come up from time to time and he answers just as quick now as he did before we filed.

Northern Gentleman!

When my husband lost his job last year, I didn't know what we were going to do. I had been sick and we had medical bills that had been piling up for a while. I heard a radio advertisement about Pagano and Marks and how they could help with our situation by filing bankruptcy. Our appointment with M...r. Pagano went better than we could have expected given our financial difficulties. Mr. Pagano was extremely understanding and answered all of my questions, even the stupid ones. He helped us to see the big picture and not get caught up in worrying over every little detail. He said the details were his job. After our meeting, my husband and I felt that we had a huge weight lifted off of our shoulders. Mr. Pagano helped us through the entire bankruptcy process and made it seem very simple. Before we knew it we had our discharge and we were able to get on with our lives without being hounded by debt collectors. I would highly recommend Mr. Pagano not only based on his professional skills but also his personable nature.

Puts you as ease and gets the job done right!

My husband and I found ourselves in the unfortunate situation of having to file for bankruptcy. We were a little embarassed but went to see Keith Pagano because a friend had recommended him. He immediately put us at ease and we felt extremely comfortable with him. He is easy to talk to, and explain...s things in a way that you can understand. He is extremely professional, but also feels like a friend that will take good care of you. My initial feelings about him proved correct as we went through the entire process. The day of court was nerve wracking for me, Keith calmed my nerves and prepared me for what the trustee might ask (just incase). I watched the trustee hammer into people asking questions that wasn't in the paperwork and neither them (or their lawyer) were prepared to answer. The trustee seemed disgusted with most of the the other lawyers paperwork , so much so, that he continued many of their cases for another day so they would be more prepared. BUT when it was our time, I couldn't have been more thankful that Keith was my lawyer. Keith prepared all of my paperwork just as the trustee liked. Keith's attention to detail and carefulness made all the differece to the trustee and he had a different demeanor with me than those that had come before us. It was as different as night and day because of Keith's thoroughness. I left the court extremely thankful that Keith was our lawyer, and I know that a bunch of the people in that courtroom were wishing he was their lawyer too!!

Outstanding!

We needed an attorney quickly to help us with our situation. When we spoke with Keith Pagano about our issue, we had about 3 days left before we were in real financial trouble! We thought there was no way this could get done in time! Keith Pagano responded to our urgency and treated us like we were h...is only client! He kept us informed and helped us so much. He was extremely knowledgable and we got everything done in before our deadline! We can't thank him enough!
