Great Character and Knowledge!!!

Alan was great!!! I had never had a issue what so ever in my past. The down turn of economy and the lack of business integrity by the banking industry forced me to reach out for Alan knowledge. Truly could not have gone thru what I had to do with out him!!!!

Financial Recovery Specialist

For more than 20 years, I have depended upon Alan to provide my clients with competent legal advice, counsel and professional support to resolve their financial crises and recovery. When my business failed during the 2008-2009 worldwide financial crash, Alan provided me with invaluable legal counsel... and support dealing with creditors in a sincere effort to recover from temporary insolvency and avoid bankruptcy. When our efforts were derailed by one uncooperative creditor, Alan Seitman shepherded me through the Chapter 7 proceedings, helped me regain my self esteem and worked out the plan that is now financial recovery.

Professional and Knowledgeable

I recently went through a chapter 7 bankruptcy and interviewed a couple of attorneys. I had heard horrible tales of many of the "lawyer Mills" that do that type of work. I was referred to Alan and after the first meeting I knew I was in the right place. I felt he was knowledgeable about the process a...nd he prepared me for every senario that could come up. I got the courthouse early so I would know what to expect and after watching all these poor people that were meeting their attorneys for the first time and many times the bankruptcy service they had used had hired a attorney that just sits at the courthouse to handle these cases and the people had never even spoke to them much less met them. Alan made himself availble through the entire process and always was available to answer my questions and always returned my calls promptly! He showed up in a suit the day of court and I have to say he was the only attorney that I saw in my trustee room that had that refined, respectful look and in tuen we werer treated the same way. During my hearing he had actually leaned enough about me over the previous months that he was able to help me answer the questions for the trustee and help me understand what she was asking. I can't say enough good about this man and the representation that I received... I would recommend him to anyone that is faced with this experience. He was a litte more than some of the other attorneys that I interviewed but WELL worth it. I was more prepared for the process than any other person I saw and I attribute that to Alan for taking the time in the beginning to answer all my questions. I have since sent several people to him and will continue to do so.

Alan Was Awesome!

When starting the Chapter 7 process I felt so lost and frustrated not knowing who to trust and where to turn. I researched and interviewed numerous attorneys for months and in the end no one compared to Alan Seitman. The embarrasement, shame, and frustration associated with bankruptcy was overwhelmi...ng for me but Alan was calming and very supportive. He answered all my questions and stood by me throughout the entire process. Very professional, knowlegable, and detailed. I highly recommend him!
