Excellent Legal Service

Accessible, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Understood our needs and explained the details in "Lehman's terms" for us. Mr. Conti was able to take a stressful and difficult financial situation and make it manageable.

My GuyConti

I met Mr Conti through a business networking group where every member in the group gets a few moments to talk about what they do and how they do it. Quite often a member will expain what they did for a customer or how they handled particular issues (no specific names etc. to maintain privacy). After... listening to Guy and hearing others in the group give testimonials as to how they were helped/advised by him, I knew that I could trust him and could count on him to do the very best he could for me in my situation. I had an issue that needed to be dealt with and to be honest I was a bit scared and concerned about it. Well, Guy sat with me for awhile and explained the procedures/options to me in a way that I could understand and he made me feel quite a bit better about the whole thing. Even though the issue was not an easy one for me and I had hoped to avoid going through it, working with Guy made it so much easier to deal with. I was extremely pleased and thankful to have worked with him on my situation.

An Excellent Attorney

I recently had to file for bankruptcy due to a lawsuit that resulted from a home foreclosure. I was worried about the process and wasn't sure how to work things out. I met with Guy for a consultation and he collected my personal information and told me about the options available to me given the si...tuation. He was very knowledgeable and professional with me and my case. Whenever I had questions I would send him an email and he always responded within a couple hours. For the duration of my case Guy always kept me informed as to what would happen and he gave very accurate time frames. I thought the entire process was going to be a nightmare but Guy made everything seem much more manageable and I felt confident that he would take care of me to the best of his abilities. I will gladly come to Guy in the future for legal advice and I will recommend him to everyone I know in need of legal services.

The best attorney I've ever worked with!

It was a pleasure working with Mr. Guy Conti. He helped me and my parents file for bankruptcy. My parents had numerous debt and financial problems to the point where the creditors were garnishing their wages, bank accounts, and seizing personal property. When the collection agency took my father...'s personal vehicle which he owned free and clear, that's when we decided to contact Mr. Conti. Due to my parents language limitations, I was the communication window between my parents and Mr. Conti. Mr. Conti was very prompt in responding and actually accomodated our request to meet on a Saturday of the same week since I would be travelling from Ohio and my parents live in Michigan. He worked swiftly and stopped the auction of my fathers vehicle and later helped us regain possesion of the vehicle. Mr. Conti kept us informed through the entire process and I was very surprised at how quick he responded to our inquiries (within the same day). I highly recommend Mr. Conti to anyone who is having financial problems and are considering bankruptcy. As I mentioned in the subject, he is the best attorney I've ever worked with and you will not be disappointed.

Outstanding

I am grateful for Mr. Conti's superb service. His understanding, patience, and ability to explain chapter 7 made going through with the process manageable. I have recommended his firm to several other individuals.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy lawyer | Jun 03

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"As a fellow attorney I can wholeheartedly endorse the careful, skilled, and client focused work that Guy does. I have worked with him as opposing counsel, on related matters, and most importantly in this challenging Michigan economy, on Bankruptcy matters. His approach to clients is always focused on their needs, and their best outcome, as determined in consultation with the client. He and his office take the extra steps to follow through on filings and successful outcomes in Bankruptcy, not just generate and file the paperwork. For the above reasons I have been referring the Short Sale and Foreclosure clients that I work with, and need a bankruptcy, or consultation as to their options, to his office. He carefully and honestly addresses their unique situation and guides them in the correct direction as to filing needs, time lines, and preservation of assets. Many times I've heard back from the people I referred to him about their favorable outcomes."

"Guy is exceptional at remembering law and facts and is a walking legal encyclopedia and journal, all in one. He is way ahead of the curve on legal issues and is able to present issues in a succinct manner. At this point, he is the most effective attorney I know as he is able to move forward quickly on many legal matters without having research delays. Due to his extensive knowledge, he has the ability to outgun other attorneys when a case is in a tight spot and he isn't deterred by the possibility of having to take a case on appeal. I endorse this lawyer's work."
