Sulaiman Law Group - highly recommended

Due to the economy and corporate downsizing, I was unemployed for an extended amount of time. Not having sufficient income our bills were overwhelming, debt collectors were calling, and we were not able to keep up. The stress and pressure were intense. At the risk of losing our home to foreclosure, ...our last resort was filing for Chapter 7. This was an extremely difficult decision to make. Everyone we encountered at Sulaiman Law Group was kind, gracious and very supportive. They informed us of our options, and let us decide how to proceed. I cannot image where I would be right now if I had not reached out to Ahmad and his firm. I am truly grateful for their assistance and guidance. Thank you!

Extremely knowledgeable, honest and compassionate

My wife and I found ourselves in a financial crisis when I lost my job and was required to supplement income utilizing credit card cash advances; in addition my wife incurred significant medical bills when the insurance company reneged on their committment to pay a large hospital bill. Bankruptcy... was something we had never considered but after spending over $18,000 annually on minimum monthly credit card payments and facing the reality that I would never be able to pay back the credit card debt we finally investigated that last resort. I contacted the major banks and asked for an affordable repayment plan but my request fell on deaf ears. After meeting with two bankruptcy attorneys and receiving sketchy information as to how the whole process works we made an appointment with Mr. Sulaiman. We explained our situation and he and his professional staff outlined all of our options through a very detailed strategic planning session; at the end of the meeting we knew exactly what are options were and what steps would required of my wife and as well as the law firm. We filed Chapter 7 and now nearly a year later we are completely credit card debt free. In less than a year my credit score went from 546 after the Chapter 7 filing to 697. We now receive pre-approved credit card and auto loan offers and we can finally start saving for our retirement again thanks to this law firm. I have already recommended them to a family member who will soon be on the road to financial recovery as well, thanks to Mr. Sulaiman and his extremely knowledgable staff.

Best Attorneys I Have Ever Used

I had a case in June 2012 for a ch. 7 and was referred to Sulaiman Law Group through a friend. I could not have asked for a better legal team. I mainly dealt with Nathan Volheim which was my main attorney although many of the other staff contributed and were extremely helpful at such a depressing ...time. The office staff and also some other attorneys not even on my case offered reassurance and guidance. I would highly recommend you meet with Sulaiman law group to see how professional and masterful they truly are! Thanks Nate and the staff for eveything!

You will NOT be disappointed.!!! Ahmad is a lawyer with integrity!!!

My friend had a consultutaion with Ahmad due to foreclosure. Before he arrived Ahmad had thoroughly reviewed his case. He took the time to educate my friend on all his options. He immediatelty saw that my friend's ch 13 was making it impossible to keep up w/ his mortgage. So, he advised friend ...to go back to his previous attorney and convert ch 13 to ch 7, b/c it should cost him little to no money to due so. Ahmad said he would take the case, but he didn't want my friend to have to pay for to his firm to file claim. Ahmad is truly there for the best interest of his client. Please, if you are in foreclosures see Sulaiman Law Group for a consultation.. you will not regret it. It's well worth the money!!

A Five Star Legal Experience

A 5 Star Legal Experience Posted by Phil, a Chapter 7 and Foreclosure client The total experience of working with The Sulaiman Law Group is one of steadfast professionalism, coupled with a clear knowledge of the law and procedures. While Ahmed, Mo and Nate are all exceptionally skilled practition...ers, they are further enhanced by an organization with individuals possessing strong customer service skill sets such as Elvia, Angela and Chantelle. Together they comprise a team of dedicated practitioners that carefully guide and support your efforts throughout the process. From my perspective, one of the most significant aspects of their work is their insightful comprehension of the emotions and uncertainty that their clients are experiencing. By offering practical and reassuring counsel, they outline a clear path on how their work will enable clients to move forward productively with their lives. There is little question in my mind that the firm’s steadfast reputation within the regional justice system and legal community sends a resounding message that their clients are represented by one of the Midwest’s most prestigious firms. It is perhaps their most valued, yet unadvertised asset they offer their clients. They simply get it right. I wholeheartedly recommend and endorse the talented and compassionate professionals at the Sulaiman Law Group.
