Extremely helpful, highly recommend
My case has been quite complex and full of twists, turns, and changes. However, Kristen was there every step of the way. She always took her time to explain things when I had questions or didn't quite fully understand certain aspects. I would have been lost in this process without her advice and guidance. I highly recommend Kristen as she has far exceeded my expectations.

Excellence and detail oriented
I have been thoroughly stressed for over seven years to find the right person to understand what to do with my past bankruptcy that was incorrectly administered. Once I met Mrs. Nardone and saw the research she did in a short amount of time, I felt confident and reassured she would be the one to help me. My case was discharge and I can finally get sleep and begin the rebuilding process! She is an absolute professional and very talented at what she does.

So Knowledgeable and So Committed!
When we first came to Kristen's office for professional advice concerning our financial situation, we were a little nervous and did not know what to expect. We were being sued by a credit card company and didn't know what to do about it. We provided Kristen with all of the information she requested concerning our financial hardships, and without hesitation and with full assurance, she had an answer and a plan of action for us to take. She was so knowledgeable and confident about the plan she recommended for us, therefore our anxieties were eased, and we too became certain that everything was going to work together for our good, and we were right. Initially, there was a plan and effort to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but we learned of some information that negatively effected the Chapter 7 and made a Chapter 13 more appropriate for us. This meant that Kristen had to make adjustments and invest more time in our case, and this is where she proved to be so resilient and committed to our best interest. Her communication was always prompt and thorough throughout the whole process. As the Chapter 13 moved forward, there was a lot of resistance from one of the creditors; they filed numerous objections against our filing of the Chapter 13, including where we filed it. Once again, we became a little nervous, but Kristen always spoke with such confidence and poise about overcoming this adversity, and she assured us that everything was going to work in our favor. Kristen's legal response to the objections was so knowledgeable and complete; it was amazing. We could tell she put a lot of time and effort into fighting for us and upholding the truth, of which we are so grateful. Kristen won for us over and over again. She made my first time ever appearing in court pleasant and something I could appreciate as she demonstrated great professionalism and savvy. I can't say enough about Kristen's hard work and commitment to us! We are and always will be so grateful, and we can truly say we are better now than we were when we first visited her office. Thank you so much, Kristen, for all you have done for us, and God bless you always.

Kristen Nardone is the attorney you want and need
Kristen Nardone is the attorney you want when the need arises. After multiple years of very unfortunate happenings that caused havoc in our life, we sought legal help from Kristen. It was hard for us to take even the first step of making the appointment, but during that first appointment and subsequent ones, she never drew unkind assumptions, nor passed judgment. She demonstrated both professionalism and kindness. On several occasions, I have emailed her with questions or requests. She has always responded to me in a very short amount of time with answers or has quickly gotten to work on a resolution for me. In the past, I had worked for multiple attorneys, so I feel qualified to say that I would very highly recommend Kristen Nardone. Additionally, she has wonderful, helpful staff members, which is important.

Great bankruptcy lawyer
Kristen Nardone was great in working with us through our bankruptcy case. What started off as what I assume a normal case, ended up with many twists and turns due to our ever changing situation. Ms. Nardone was there every step of the way through our case to advise us on the best solution for our situation. She was knowledgeable and professional through the bankruptcy proceedings, yet she remained down to earth and personable, which eased some of the stress of having to go through the bankruptcy.

Kristen Nardone, attorney
We hired Kristen to help us through a personal bankruptcy. Kristen is definitely knowledgable on the law of bankruptcy. She was professional and compassionate at the same time. She personally answered all our emails in more than a reasonable amount of time (and there were many). This has been one of the most stressful times in our lifes but Kristen always made us feel better. We definitely do not hesitate to recommend her for bankruptcy needs.

Bankruptcy? Us?
We never thought we would ever file bankruptcy. We both worked and we were responsible bill payers. But, then my husband got hurt and filed for Social Security. (the horror stories about that are true) No big deal, I was still working and then I lost my job and got hurt working a part time job and had to have surgery. We had no choice. I didn't want to lose my home. We met with Ms. Nardone and I was amazed. She understood. And even though she has heard the same story with most of her clients, she was still so compassionate. She understood the emotion. She represented us amazingly at the creditors meeting. She answered every question. (and Lord knows I had so many of them) She was always available. We did Chapter 13 and got a 5 year plan. That was 2 years ago. Know what? She is STILL available, STILL answers every question, STILL represents us with our case and a couple other issues that have arisen out of bankruptcy with my mortgage carrier. Thankfully - we are back on track. I know alot of lawyers because I work in the law field, I wish she did other areas of law because she would be my "go to" for sure. She is sharp as a tack! If you are facing bankruptcy, you want Kristen -

Compassionate, Highly skilled attorney
Unfortunately, my husband and I had to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy due to a job loss and we were referred by another attorney to Kristen Nardone. Kristen not only met our expectations but she exceeded our expectations in handling our case. Kristen represented us well at the Creditor's meeting and from the very beginning she informed us of what to expect. Kristen is compassionate, caring and a highly skilled attorney - she knows her stuff!! She treated my husband and I with respect and dignity and was easily accessible when we reached out to her. I would highly recommend Mrs. Nardone with any debt/bankruptcy needs.

WHAT DO WE DO NOW? ABOUT BANKRUPTSY
We have asked for help and really got it from Kristen Nardone. After meeting just one time we knew that Kristen was the lawyer we wanted to represent us in this challenge. She was most helpful in constructing a game plan and case for us and has extreme knowledge about the law that would protect our assets and pay our debts.

Excellent
Kristen helped my wife and I save our home when we had no other options because the bank would not work with us. We struggled for a few years before we decided to see Kristen. I wish we would have seen her earlier. I would highly recommend her for any of your bankruptcy needs.

Reliable and Patient
Going through the process of bankruptcy is very stressful and I had many questions throughout. Kristen was extremely patient with my many questions and answered them in a timely manner. I had access to her easily through email. From the beginning with our first consult, I felt very comfortable with her. She is very knowledgeable of the law and always went above and beyond what we expected. Fighting for our cause and not just giving in and taking the easy route. She has definitely helped us and I would recommend her.

Excellent, Highly skilled Attorney
Kristen is a highly skilled attorney who is very easy to work with. She took a last minute chapter13 case I tried to handle without a lawyer. She was able to turn a very unsuccessful case into a success. She was very thorough with her questions. When we appeared before the trustee she was prepared and professional which allowed our hearing to go quickly and smoothly. But most of all she treated my wife and I with respect and understanding.

Excellent representation
Kristen helped us file a Chapter 13 and then after the loss of my husband's job, she assisted us in converting to a Chapter 7. She went to bat for us against a difficult trustee and helped us negotiate a settlement that we could live with. She is easily accessible and works hard for her clients. We are looking forward to being able to start with a clean slate.

Flawless!!
When the company I worked for closed its doors suddenly, I was forced to make the decision to file for bankruptcy. I reached out to Kristen and she was thorough and quick to respond to all of my questions. The process was very easy and smooth. I would highly recommend Kristen for your bankruptcy services.

as to her assistance with Chap 13 bankruptcy....
When my wife & I reached the hard decision to file bankruptcy in Jan. of this year, I inquired of an attorney in Winston-Salem with whom I had worked in the early 2000's while with a local bank as Credit Manager, in regards to a recommendation for our necessary personal bankruptcy filing, after I lost my job. She recommended Kristen Nardone and from our initial meeting with Kristen, she lead us in the direction she thought best suited us, based on our circumstances. Though bankruptcy was a last resort for us, we needed the protection to keep our home and vehicles. She was very understanding, informative, patient and thorough in her analysis of our situation and we have appreciated all she has done in our behalf. And the courts readily approved her plan for us. This account is as true and factual as I can present....

Extremely professional, effective and considerate
I needed some assistance with a possible chapter 13 filing, and was referred to Ms. Nardone...I couldn't be more pleased. She has effectively answered every question I have had and has been extremely helpful in guiding me through this process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone else.

Excellent in a trying time.
She has helped consistently throughout 4 years of our 5 year case. I have no doubt she will continue to be of assistance throughout the last one as well.
