Posted by Heather | October 01, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Made a difficult time very easy

My husband and I recently filed with the aid of Mr. Schwartz and I could not have imagined this process going any smoother than it did. From the moment we made initial contact with the office and spoke with the secretary who was so nice and understanding, I knew we would be working with Mr.Shwartz. H...e was easy to get a consultation appointment with and very thorough in looking over all of our financial history. Once we actually filed, we worked with his paralegal Rose and you could probably not find a nicer paralegal in the whole city. She was very proactive in making sure everything in our file was complete, easy to get ahold of, responded quickly to emails and messages and very patient with all of our questions and concerns. Highly recommend Mr. Schwartz if you have to make the difficult decision to file chapter 7.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
