      Review John Moffa

      The consummate professional and an Attorney who helped me maintain my dignity.

      Posted by

      John Moffa is the only lawyer I have ever met that treated me as a person and as individual while addressing my bankruptcy. For a situation I found horrific, he maintained his composure as I had lost mine, during the entire process of filing to the trustee meeting. He and his assistant, Ann Marie walked me through the process and assisted me, in my time of need. He is excellent as well his staff. He involved my Accountant and did what I could not do, nor knew how to do. He is the best, and I would recommend him for anyone filing Bankruptcy.

      Amazing dedicated lawyer

      Posted by

      John Moffa is both knowledgeable and efficient. He was highly organized, thorough and was able to handle my compex bankruptcy case when others stated it could not be done. He made an unpleasant situation pleasant and achieved an amazing end result. Lastly, his fees were reasonable and he was always available.

      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.

      perfect in EVERY way

      Posted by

      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!

      Posted by

      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 is what a true attorney was designed to be. He is one of the most honest attorney's I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with and I have dealt with hundred's of them during my 25 years in law enforcement. he also truly cares about his clients and is an outstanding attorney that I would never hesitate to recommend to family, friends and anyone.

      A Rare Find

      John is knowledgeable and friendly. He is totally trustworthy, which is difficult to find these days. He has a way of understanding your case and has a team to help him research to find you the victory you deserve

      John was my light at the end of the tunnel.

      Posted by

      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.

      This gentleman and his staff are so professional that I would trust him with my life. He has brought me and husband out darkness. I'm so grateful that he took the time to assist me with attorneys that I trusted and did nothing but cause me and my family heartache. This team is no#1. Thanks and may God continue to bless you any your staff.
      John Moffa's response: 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!
