Absolutely the best

Mr. Barmat was instrumental in helping me navigate through a very complex and fluid case. His knowledge and attention to detail exceeded my expectations in every regard. He achieved results for me that we would not have accomplished if it wasn't for his constant focus on my needs. Will continu...e to use Marc wherever I can and suggest you do the same

A True Professional!!

My scenario was FAR from routine. I had many moving parts with my BK and Marc handled each obstacle with a true knowledge of his business. A true professional! It was one of the darkest times of my life and Marc was compassionate and direct with my options. Marc has much respect from his piers and is... recognized as one of the most reputable lawyers in his field. I would highly recommend Marc to anyone needing to be represented by the best!!

Chapter 7 - Not Fun but Necessary

Through a friends recommendation, I contacted Marc Barmat to advise me on a difficult financial dilemma. After clearly presenting my options, I hired Marc and his firm to represent me in a Chapter 7 proceeding. From the start, he and his group were direct, clear and gave me confidence that I made ...the right choice and was being professionally represented. They always responded promptly and professionally to my calls and questions and advised me on all relevant matters on a timely basis through a successful conclusion First rate representation!

Excellent representation!

Marc Barmatt assisted me with my very complicated Chapter 7. Marc returned every phone call, and every e mail promptly. He was very thorough in explaining my options and assisting me in making the best decisions possible. I have been dealing with attorneys for many years in different aspects of the l...aw. I can honestly say Marc was the best experience I have had as I really felt he was genuinely concerned about my well being! Thank you Marc and Nancy!
