This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent experience!

Ben was amazing. He walked me through the bankruptcy process with kindness and smarts. I provided the necessary paperwork and he did everything else. He also made me feel relaxed and ok about the decision to file bankruptcy...which was awesome as it is not a choice to be made lightly. Totally woul...d recommend using him if you need to get out from under debt. And he is totally reasonable for his services. Thanks Ben for everything.

PERSONAL BANKRUPTCY

Ben was very thorough and covered all the bases at a time when I certainly was only wanting to forget my troubles. He brought me calm and clarity to a difficult situation for me. I cannot imagine how much more difficult it could have been without the personal and calming presence Ben brought to thi...s unfortunate project. Thank you Ben!

Coolest lawyer In Atlanta!!

I met Mr. Wachstein many years ago when I needed help with a bankruptcy case. The case was handled in a quick and professional manner. Mr. Wachstein addressed any questions and concerns. He explained the process and my options clearly. I didn’t even need to take any time off of work to deal with t...he case. He was also available when I needed some assistance years later. A bank attempted to place a discharged loan on my credit. He quickly assisted without charge to clear the matter up. This year a family member needed some assistance. I gave her Mr. Wachstein"s number and he answered right away. Thank you again Mr. Wachstein!! You're one of the best attorneys in this field in my opinion!!!!

Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer | Apr 27

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"For years I worked with only one lawyer in referring bankruptcy cases - that is until I got to know Ben. Bankruptcy is such an intense emotional experience for anyone that has to experience it - its like the rug being pulled out from underneath you with no net to catch you. Ben is kind, and excellent practicioner, discreet and thorough in all that he touches. The detail work that is required in bankruptcy demands someone who has his mind focused strictly on the details and this outstanding lawyer has it! I refer everyone that needs counseling for bankruptcy as an option to him as I know the job will be done correctly with no mistakes. I recommend Ben highly and welcome any inquiries about him. I've never worked with him regarding the real estate side of his practice, but if its anything like his knowledge and perfection in bankruptcy, you couldn't go wrong."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ben saved the day and rescued a closing that was a title company nightmare. We would not have closed without his tenacity in obtaining an Order from the Bankruptcy Judge for a party to my transaction. He had to present a unique set of facts to the Trustee and use powers of persuasion! Thank you, Ben!"

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer.I have known and worked with Ben for over two years. In that time, I have had the opportunity to refer him to individuals in need of a Bankruptcy attorney. Each client that I have recommended to Ben has graciously applauded him for his informative and down to Earth manner. Ben’s personable demeanor makes his clients feel comfortable during the unfamiliar and overwhelming process of Bankruptcy. After speaking with Ben’s clients, the statements that impress me about Ben are the repeated compliments about his attention to detail, answering and returning phone calls and a willingness to meet at the most convenient times and locations for his clients. I would recommend Ben to anyone who needed a Bankruptcy or Divorce attorney."
