Literally a fresh start

After listening to my answers to his questions, without reluctance and hesitation, without a second thought, in a friendly, confident tone, he assured me that I am qualified for a Chapter 7! Then at the speed of an invited guest lecturer, he explained how it applies to my case, in a layman's language..., making the law as plain and as simple as possible, helping me understand that after the bankruptcy, I would have the right and privilege to start life anew - "A FRESH START" literally. He gave us all the time to ask questions with further clarification. He did it in an extremely kind and friendly tone, saving me from any embarrassment. He never made us feel conscious of his time; evoking in me a sense of profound appreciation, thankfulness, and gratefulness for such loving kindness.

Knowledge Is Power

Knowledge is power and Mr. Sulaiman provides just that. Two years ago I lost my job and was unable to find work. At the same time my son requied expensive medical assistance. After unemployment ran out, I was forced to file bankfuptcy. After several unsucessful attempts at a loan modification, m...y family was facing forclosure of our home. That's when I contacted Mr Sulaiman. His assistant booked an apointment for me to come in and discuss the details of the case. Ahmad walked in and immediately put me at ease. He has demeanor is autoritative but with empathy for your situation. He discussed the steps of the forclosure process, what I could expect given my bankruptcy filing. In clear terms he provided me the information I needed to do what's best for my family. What impressed me the most is the fact he had our best intrest ahead of his. What could have cost me thousands of dollars did not because Mr. Sulaiman has integrity. He did not propose a solution that would pull money from my pocket that could help improve my situation down the road. He helped me take an honest look at my situation and make the decision that was best for my family. If you are facing bankruptcy, forclosure or financial hardship, do your self a favor and schedule a consultation. I can assure you, everyone will sleep better and you will be empowered with the information you need to make the choice that is right for you. Thank you so much Ahmad!

had an introductory call, reviewed my case, gave me great advice and said he didn't want to charge me!

I called Ahmad Sulaiman based on reviews like the one I'm writing. I was a little skeptical thinking that surely no one has this many good reviews... esp a lawyer : ) I have it a shot and left a message on the contact section of the web site. I felt like I knew the answer to my question but I want...ed someone with experience to give me a professional opinion for which I was willing to pay. Ahmad Sulaiman himself called me, listened thoughtfully and patiently to my circumstance, and even reviewed with me a document I faxed to him prior to our call. He gave me the options, we decided on a course of action and I asked what I owed him. He told me nothing, he was happy to help but would appreciate a review. So here it is. If would call this attorney and again and recommend him in a heart beat.

Eternally Grateful

A major goal in life is to not only better yourself but try to build an estate to one day leave to your children which you know they can fall back on, in your absence. It is crushing when things unravel in an unexpected way, in our case family illness & our employer relocating made us find ourselves ...possible loosing what we worked so hard to obtain; losing control. Mr. Sulaiman helped us regain that control. He is compassionate enough to allow you to follow your heart even if the odds are against you. We were a number of months behind on our mortgage after only being able to submit partial payments every month and knew very well a loan mod was unlikely. Mr. Sulaiman lent us the help of his very well qualified staff to try the loan modification one last time, for our sake; to know we tried everything in our power to save our house which although underwater, we called home. He went over every possible outcome with us, and because our home was already in foreclosure gave us a timeline letting us know when we had to reconsider our options. Thankfully it never came to that; we obtained a modification with the help of Mr. Sulaiman & his staff! If it would have come time to reconsider our options, I know they would have handled our needs with care. Sulaiman Law Group, a very knowledgeable group of professionals to whom we are ever so grateful.

Bankruptcy and Foreclosure advice

Mr. Sulaiman was recommended to us by a trusted relative. My husband and I had been going through a hard time financially for several years, and were faced with a foreclosure. Feeling defeated and vulnerable and nearing retirement we went to Ahmad's office and were warmly greeted by a very knowledg...eable gentleman. He and his team walked us through the bankruptcy process without a hitch. We never felt like we were left hanging without information, and always knew what to expect. They have followed us through each step of the way. I most certainly would recommend this attorney for anyone who is experiencing the same difficulties. It's a blessing to have smart, considerate and honest people on your side in such a time!
