Mr. Berlinsky was such a big help with my husband's case! He was always there for us either by phone or email if we had any questions. He is very reasonable!! More reasonable than any other lawyer we consulted with. He has a big heart because if he didn't, he would not have done half the things he did for us. I highly recommend Mr. Berlinsky for any of your bankruptcy needs. You will not regret it!! I am so happy that I found him!! I'll be forever grateful to this man.
Mr. Berlinsky was very informative and made it all seem to go smoothly. Answered questions and corresponded quickly. Everything was done in a very professional way. Would recommend him to everyone I know.
I have averaged 200 consumer clients a year, since 1989. Chapter 7 cancels judgments, credit cards, hospital bills, liability for auto accidents, personal liability for secured and unsecured debts and even some income tax liability.
A portion of my bankruptcy practice is filing chapter 13 cases to enable clients to save their homes. People who dont qualify for Chapter 7 can filed Ch 13 and repay debt at reduced interest rates without late charges.
I have represented homeowners defending Mortgage Foreclosure Cases since 2004. Previously I had represented Lenders for 20 years foreclosing residential mortgages. Generally Chapter 13 offers the most relief.

The focus is on giving people a fresh start in life, it is not adversary in nature as is most civil court proceedings. Please call me for a free consultation by phone or in person.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Assistance
Unfortunately my household income was severely affected due to the Covid economic situation. I had excellent credit and always have been a responsible person with my finances, this hardship situation wasn’t expected. Then I decided to call Attorney Berlinsky for Bankruptcy advice and since day one he was very thorough and helpful in explaining to me with detail the entire bankruptcy process. After a telephone interview that was done at no charge to me, Mr.Berlinsky described and recommended which Bankruptcy proceeding or Chapter it was suitable for me. I appreciated that he was in no hurry during the telephone conversation and he listened very careful while I described my financial situation. Since the Telephone conversation, I felt that I had called the right Law Firm and person to assist me in filing my Bankruptcy. Once I decided to proceed, Mr Berlinsky “took me by the hand” to the entire process explaining every step with detail. And more than one time he helped me like reading and answering my emails after hours. Also his office assistance Lisa was great, very professional and answering all my calls immediately. All I had to do was follow the instructions provided by Mr.Berlinsky and finally today I feel the relief of being debt free and my stressful situation is gone. The Creditors stopped calling and harassing me, it was incredible how all creditors stopped calling me. I recommend the Bankruptcy filing and process that Mr. Berlinsky offers, just make sure you do your part and follow the instructions, Mr.Berlinsky will “walk you” through the entire process.
I am thankful that I chose the Berlinsky Law Firm for my Bankruptcy Filings.

Bankruptcy Course,
Mr Berlinsky, very good, bankruptcy lawyer, I had went to 2 different bankruptcy lawyer, they didn't take my case, they recommend me to someone else, I spoke to my coworker who told me about Mr Berlinsky, he didn't hesitate to take my case, he's very worn and friendly. Thanks much Mr Berlinsky, I appreciate all you do.

Beyond excellent!
Mr. Berlinsky came as one of the most reviewed and most experienced attorneys in my area and I could not agree more with those prior reviews! Mr. Berlinsky and his assistant Lisa were both on point and extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of my case. I highly recommend Mr. Berlinsky as he exercises both compassion and knowledge that other attorneys cannot hold a candle to!

Stellar Representation
Mr. Berlinsky was personable, knowledgeable, and efficient in representing me before the Bankruptcy Court. I was expecting the process to take approximately 6 months to complete. However, the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy was discharged 103 days (3 months/2 weeks) after the filing. Hence, I highly recommend Mr. Berlinsky!

finding a Bankruptcy lawyer
After moving from Maine to Florida I got myself in credit card debt and didn't know what to do. I gave Mr. Berlinsky a call and he answered all my questions so I hired him and I'm so happy I did. Bankruptcy is a hard step to take and having a good lawyer is important. Thank you Mr Berlinsky.
