Mr. Moffa and his team were very helpful to bankruptcy process, gave information to compile paperwork, made sure all was correct, even advised to bring quarters for courthouse parking.
Overall process was smooth.
I contacted the law office of Mr. John A Moffa, Mr. Moffa was in court but another superior attorney, Mr. Stephen Breuer consulted with me. Mr Breuer is an outstanding attorney, he is very easy to talk with, he is extremely patient but at the same time extremely sharp. What I really liked about Mr. Breuer is that he really listens to the facts BEFORE answering my questions. This is VERY VERY IMPORTANT, because every case is different, each with it's own set of facts. You should always want an attorney that understands YOU, rather than statistics. Mr. Breuer is very conscientious AND thorough, also exemplary qualities in an attorney. Because he is so very intelligent he empowers you to be confident during difficult times. Not only is he very knowledgeable about the law , he REALLY puts the needs of his clients first. our phone call was not rushed, in fact just the opposite. He was very patient and was willing to spend what ever amount of time that was necessary to make sure that I fully understood the law and the legal concepts that pertained to my case.

You're in Great Hands with John and his Team!
Finding John was truly a blessing! I knew in our first meeting that he I could trust him. He is everything you would want in an attorney – experienced, straightforward, sincere, understanding, available, and responsive (emails/phone calls always returned promptly). John and his team are extremely professional, caring, and patient. I had to delay my case a bit due to a divorce I was also going through, but John and his team always stayed in touch and picked right back up, moving things forward when I was ready to proceed. John and his team helped me through such a difficult and painful time in my life. I am extremely grateful for John helping me to get my life back. I highly recommend him; he is awesome!

John was my light at the end of the tunnel.
I was not the easiest person to deal with due to the fact that I thought bankruptcy was a dirty word! I can't tell you how many times John and I went over the same thing. He never lost his patience with me and always had such a calming tone to his voice that made me feel like this WAS going to be okay. We were faced with the possibility of losing everything, including our home. John and his staff took my hand and walked me through every step of the process. There was never a question that didn't get answered even though it was already asked many times! Moving forward two years I can tell you I have my life back. It's such a pleasure to know there won't be a knock at the door and oh yes, I actually answer my phone now!
A very special Thank You to John and his staff for helping me through one of the darkest times in my life.

Response from John MoffaFebruary 26, 2016
We handled this matter to make a statement that poor lawyering in bankruptcy needs to be "punished" By the time this lady found us, her "bankruptcy attorney" had lost her home to a foreclosure sale her trying to save it. We went after her prior attorney and were able to achieve a settlement of over $30,000 for this lady. We cannot allow bad lawyering to hurt people. She deserved better!

Moffa, Bonacquisti & Breuer are the best in town!
I’ve interviewed many BK attorneys in the Broward region. All of whom have claimed to have a notable grasp on BK law…
After meeting with Moffa, Bonacquisti & Breuer, I soon realized that the five plus other BK attorneys that I met with had literally zero grasp of what they were doing. Moffa, Bonacquisti & Breuer quickly went through our situation and cleared up all the nonsense that the other BK attorneys told us to be true.
They are exceedingly competitive in price and incredibly genuine. Not to mention we would have NEVER received a confirmed plan if we would have used anyone else. We couldn’t be more happy with our decision and highly recommend them.

Response from John MoffaFebruary 26, 2016
This was a complicated Individual Chapter 11 case with numerous properties. We ended up with OVER 600 voting classes due to the number of recorded judgments, but we were able to confirm a plan that valued most of the properties at the current market value and re-worked the mortgages to more favorable terms and rates. Most of the mortgages were made "assumable" in the confirmed Plan.

Chapter 7 Discharged in 4 months
Look no further for a bankruptcy attorney. You will not be disappointed. John Moffa is true professional. He was straight forward and knowledgeable. We received our chapter 7 discharge in December 2013 about 4 months after we were told by another attorney that she would not file chapter 7 for us. John explained to us that most attorneys dont understand the bankruptcy law the way he does because of his experience. Give John Moffa a call before you hire an attorney.

Knowledgeble, responsive
Excellent response to every question with concise, correct information. My case was settled to my complete satisfaction. Mr. Moffa explained exactly what would happen in my case and what he would do for me. He did an excellent job of submitting the necessary documents and keeping me informed as the case progressed. He explained his fees thoroughly and kept to them. When I asked a question, his reply was never more than 24 hours away.

John and his partner Mark helped me at a very difficult time
John helped me at a time in our lives where we could not see daylight. John and his partner, as well as his office staff, were there for us any time we had a question. It is a few years later and I still feel like I can call and they would respond. They are not all about the money but rather about helping people who are in the worst of circumstances. They gave us back our dignity.

Was in big trouble and about to lose everything,
John meet with me 4 times at his expense to discover if and how he would be able to help me. I had 15 LLC's and millions in debt and personal guaranteed. We set a plan that got me out of trouble by reorganization of all my debt and closing the LLC's that were under water. Great job, delivered on every promise.
