Barbara made sure all my paperwork was review and done correctly. She kept me calm during this major event was honest and respectfully to my needs. she completely walked me through Trustee Interview. Best experience Ive had with an Attorney.

Excellent, Professional and Honest Lawyer!

Ms. Cusumano was a blessing in disguise. She advised and guided me through a nightmare bankruptcy created by two previously hired lawyers. I am now looking forward to my financial freedom and starting fresh. She is prompt with updates and makes sure everything goes smoothly. So look. no further and ...call her firm for your financial restart.

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.

This attorney is very good.

My husband and I were clients of Ms Cusumano, Esq. She assisted us with mortgage issues and the short sale of our previous house. She also worked with us and advised us on bankruptcy/debt reduction issues. Ms Cusumano is a very knowledgeable and expierenced attorney and we highly recommend her to o...thers in similar situations.

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.
