Great Attorney

I highly recommend Barbara Cusumano to anyone who needs a bankruptcy attorney. Before I went to her I felt so lost and stressed. I had heard things  from friends who used other bankruptcy attorneys and was told  of issues  that were  disturbing regarding delays in getting messages returned  and... delays in getting their  case completed.  That is not the was not the way it was with her. She returned all calls and  emails immediately.  She answered any and every  question.   From the time I met with Barbara Cusumano I felt like I was talking to a friend. She was so efficient, so pleasant  and gave me so much information and assisted me in completing  what was expected of me. Before I knew it things were handled perfectly.   I will always be thankful  that she was the Attorney to help me through  a difficult time.   Anyone will be very glad that they choose Barbara Cusumano as their Attorney.

would definitely recommend!

Ms. Cusamano was indispensable throughout the whole bankruptcy process; she explained each step to us clearly as we went along, ensured we understood, and responded to all our questions promptly. She understood the sense of embarrassment and guilt that can go along with declaring bankruptcy and was q...uick to put us at ease. I only wish we had hired her years ago instead of waiting so long.

Hassle-free Bankruptcy

Mrs. Cusamano was very professional and friendly. She is very knowledgeable in the area of bankruptcy and I feel like my experience was as hassle-free as it could be. She is well organized and takes her time going over all matters pertaining to the bankrutcy.

Excellent, Trustworthy and Knowledgeable Attorney

Ms. Cusumano did a wonderful job handling my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. She was a bright spot in an otherwise very difficult time in my life. When I attended the hearing, I was able to watch as client after client of other attorneys sat for 20-30 minutes explaining to the trustee various line items from... their motion. My hearing was less than 4 minutes long with NO questions because Ms. Cusumano produced a clear, concise and honest document. The trustee even mentioned that it was one of the best she had ever seen! From my date of filing to my discharge, it took less than 90 days. From the time of my initial consulation, Ms. Cusumano was available to answer any questions or concerns that I had. I HIGHLY recommend her to handle any of your needs!
