I have been working with Amanda since 2017 and it has been nothing but a pleasure. From the initial consultation to discharge, Amanda has been there for me every step of the way. She is patient and really knows what she is doing. She has only the best interest of her clients in mind. I would recommen...d Amanda Stofan to anyone.

Best Bankruptcy Lawyer!!!!

I am a sole business owner yet registered as an LLC due to contractual reasons. I first went to a different Attorney and was advised that he wasn't sure about filing a chapter 7 because he said that they could take my business. Im a service business with no assets involved. He thought it would be bes...t to file a chapter 13 with the possibility of the monthly payment increasing if I started making more money. I decided to hold off and do some more research and seek other counsel. I was fortunate enough to call Amanda Stofan. Best decision I ever made. Not only was she super down to earth and easy to talk too, She knew her business and she knew it well! 60 days later 70k discharged.....She gave me some great advice as to how to move forward from this point and even recommended some outlets I could use. Anyone thinking of filing any type of bankruptcy....PLEASE call Amanda first. We will be setting up an appointment soon with her 100% so she can handle some estate issues that we need to take care of. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much Amanda for your honesty, patience and most of all integrity!

Nicest, kindest, most understanding person one could hope for.

Amanda, took care of everything. She contacted all the folks involved, wrote the letters made the calls, all I did was answer a few questions.

Fantastic Attorney!

I hired Amanda due to a complicated bankruptcy. Personal and business. I had never been through anything like this before so I was very anxious. AMANDA is absolutely AMAZING! She is experienced and knows what she is doing. On top of that her compassion and kindness was so calming. She handled every...thing and made my situation painless! She kept me informed and answered all of my questions in a very timely manner. I would not want to use anyone else! I am so grateful for her! I could not imagine going through my bankruptcy without her!

Excellent at her job!

Amanda made a very unpleasant event to be a short and "mostly" painless process. She knows her job and does it well! I hope I never have to use her services again, but highly recommend her!
