Penelope handled everything so well and laid out all of my options so I was never in the dark about anything. She made sure I understood everything that was going on and what could happen. She worked so hard to win my case and every time I saw her she had a smile on her face. I can't recommend her enough, she truly changed my life.

Do not hesitate for a moment
I was so nervous to take bankruptcy-it was a very hard choice for me to make. Penny walked me through every single step, explained the things I needed to know, what the process would be, etc. She put my mind at ease. She is professional, courteous, responds promptly and now, 6 months out, is still responding and helping me when questions arise. Don't hesitate-contact her and take the first step.

Very erudite and thorough
Penelope was very informative and walked me through the whole process. Her advice and support leading up to and in Court was invaluable and made a painful chapter (no pun intended) in my life considerably less so.

Highly Highly Highly Recommended!!!!
There is not room here to say all that could be said about Penelope. I do not exaggerate when I say that she saved my way of life. Firstly she is professional, and returns calls is on time and listens to what you have to say. She represented me in a bankruptcy that many lawyers would say could not be done. The bankruptcy was for my mothers house that had a reverse mortgage. She took the mortgage company to court before they ever had a chance to file a foreclosure, and stood up to them when they wanted a astronomical amount of money , and was for lack of a better term (Ride or Die) until the end. As I stated before they do not have enough room to review this attorney! You can't go wrong in hiring a attorney that will fight for you if you hire Penelope Bach.

Hire this attorney!
Penny Bach is not only incredibly intelligent...and knows the law inside out and backward...but she is extremely down to earth and approachable. Penny takes the time to explain various scenarios and their possible outcomes. I have been most impressed with Penny's professionalism, and would re-hire her and/or refer a family member or friend to her, in a heartbeat.

Perry Mason for the Bankrupt
She knows the law and knows how to explain it to her client. I was lost and sick to my stomach every time I looked at my situation ( collectors calling, nightmares, running out of money). I met with Penelope and she put me to ease ( not easy to do since I thought my life was meaningless). I felt much more secure about my future once she explained what I could do and how it should be done. I felt like I had my own PERRY MASON at my side ( no kidding, she is BRILLIANT and SHE CARES ABOUT HER CLIENT). Very nice person to talk to ( you will NOT feel stupid asking questions because she will explain the answer in a very understandable way). Nice to have a Lawyer that treats you with respect and goes to bat for you ( and will hit the ball out of the park for you). Perry Mason for the Bankrupt ? ABSOLUTELY

Phenomenal Bankruptcy Attorney
Penelope Bach is the best Bankruptcy attorney and I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of advisement with regard to Bankruptcy Law. My chapter 13 case went through smoothly and I was provided timely responses and answers to any and all of my questions. This process can be embarrasing and humiliating exposing your debt load. I never felt like a debtor but felt like I was given a second chance and treated with the utmost respect.

Bankruptcy and debt Attorney | Dec 01
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I have always enjoyed reading Penny's submissions to the Court as I find that Penny has the "triple threat" ability to apply previous case law in novel ways, to find off-the-beaten path cases to support her position, and to craft from that a persuasive a written argument."
