Excellant Lawfirm

Ever since my husband and I decided to use Sulaiman Law firm, we have been more than satisfied. Their service did not end with the bankruptcy, they have given us continuous support throughout everything. I can't say enough about them. Unlike most attorneys, they respond to all my questions within ...hours (not to mention on the weekends). They are also extremely friendly and down to earth. I have all kinds of confidence in the decision my husband and I made - thanks to them.

Outstanding is Putting it Mildly

Kudos to Ahmad and his professional , hardworking, multitasking Team! My husband stumbled upon this firm late one night as he was was searching on Google. I am a hard sale and a skeptic, however once we drove many miles to get to Oakbrook and listen to Mr. Sulaiman patiently explain the process and h...ow his firm could help me , I was sold. Everyone was super patient, knowledgeable, and professional. Indeed masters at their craft. The service was very personable and made me feel like my case wasn't just another caseload. Elvia, Christina, and Nathan were my dream team on the front end. Now, less than 1 year later, I have the testimony that my case has been discharged by the court. Ahmad's team still wasn't done with me. Unlike some firms, these guys didn't see me to the door and leave me on my own. Nasim began to explain a great post program (PDP) designed to help me get a fresh start. After a full, concise and thorough job of sharing the details of the program, I immediately enrolled. Stay tuned....................

Exceptional Service

Sulaiman and Associates provided knowledgeable, timely and professional service. Most importantly they took the time to explain my options and the procedure for each. They kindly answered my repeated calls when I needed additional clarification. This is not a "cookie cutter" firm. These are attor...neys who take the time to address your individual needs. I am especially grateful to Mr. Sulaiman who took extra care to help me understand my situation from a variety of legal, ethical and financial perspectives. This allowed me to feel comfortable and secure with the proceedings. Thank you, Attorneys Ahmad and Charles and your entire team. You helped me to get my financial life back on-track so that I can make insightful decisions for the future.

Client

Mr. Sulaiman and his team first helped my husband and I through our bankruptcy process. We approached his team very unsure of what route to take due to a couple of investment properties that were ruining our credit and felt like there was no way out. From day one with meeting with Mr. Sulaiman we fel...t such ease and confidence in his guidance. His staff was wonderful and always was available for any and all questions and concerns we had. This was a very difficult time for my husband and I and each time we had our meetings with Mr. Sulaiman we felt confident in our decisions and assured that we were making the right choices. A few years later we needed the assistance again from the Sulaiman team to assist us with a possible foreclosure on our home. The Sulaiman team once again handled our case with great care and exceptional expertise. I would highly recommend this firm!

Brand new client but very satisfied

Just started this process and have done nothing but request multiple meetings, calls and emails. I was sure that this firm was going to fire me before I even started. We purchased at the height of the market and utilized creative lending. Now our property value is less than half of what paid and what... we owe. Being current with very good credit I have to admit I am so afraid of what will happen but I feel confident to partner to this firm. Both my fiance and I have been nothing but impressed. I am amazed at what an intelligent and hard working group this has been. The meetings and atmosphere is a "family-like" calm. These are real people who so far really seem to care about the two of us and our future. We are not being treated as a case number or a walking dollar sign. Several friends who are in a similar situation told me about Sulaiman Law Offices. Reluctantly I called. I was born into real estate and worked in mortgage banking so as you can image, I was very negative walking in. I will update my experiences as I walk down this road with Mr. Sulaiman and his team, but so far I am very impressed and am starting to see a small glimmer of hope for my situation. They know their stuff and they seem to enjoy explaining every detail to you until you understand...which to me is priceless.
