Very positive experience with Ben. Walked in one day with the only option of Chapter 7 left but was not sure what it entailed.

Ben L. Schneider's Lawyer Endorsements
"As a practicing bankruptcy attorney, if I have questions about the law, Ben is the first person I go to for help and advice. I would not have been able to start my own practice if not for his guidance. Ben is not only extremely knowledgeable about the the law, he also cares about and listens to his clients. Unlike some attorneys, Ben treats his clients like people with real needs, not numbers on a spreadsheet."
"Ben is one of the smartest, most honest and strategic lawyers I have ever met in my 20 plus years of legal practice. He has an immense depth of knowledge in bankruptcy law and I trust his judgment 100%. I highly recommend Ben Schneider for Bankruptcy and other commercial litigation matters."
"I have known Ben for over a year as a fellow attorney in the Chicago community. We have worked as opposing counsel before, and have an ongoing referral relationship. Ben is a skilled and dedicated attorney with extensive knowledge of bankruptcy and family law. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for strong and effective representation at reasonable rates."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. The clients of mine who I referred to him are very pleased with his work and advise."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I practiced in bankruptcy law for eighteen years before moving to another area of law, so I'd like to think that I know a good bankruptcy lawyer when I see one - I do in Ben. The best compliment I can pay Ben, is that he treats his bankruptcy clients like I did - with respect, creativity, tenacity and intelligence. I have no hesitation referring clients to Ben, because I know they will get excellent representation."
