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 he...r 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 an...d 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 lawyer | 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."
