Thank you Mr. Wrobel

When we decided that we need to file for bankruptcy we had to find a layer. I checked the reviews of the local lawyers and found very positive comments for Mr. Wrobel. We set up the appointment and from the beginning to the end he treated us with dignity and respect. He added some humor into the conv...ersation and let us feel comfortable. He informed us about the process, showed us the options and left the decision to us without pushing for it. Mr. Wrobel informed us about every step we had to take and communicated with us mostly via e-mails. The process was very easy and all we had to do is to follow the directions. Mr. Wrobel is very knowledgeable and most of all trustworthy. He told us upfront how much he will charge and there was no more additional fees or other expenses. His staff members are also fantastic. When we had additional questions during the process Mr. Wrobel or his staff members responded almost immediately. Bankruptcy is a complicated process and there is a lot of paperwork. All we had to do is to provide the information and sign the papers. Mr. Wrobel is honest, responsible and most of all he will teat you like you just made a mistake in your life and he is there to help you to fix it. We will recommend Mr. Wrobel to everyone who is planning to file for bankruptcy and who will have the courage to ask for help.

A Cut Above The Rest

Recommended to us by a friend, we have been working with Mr. Wrobel for the last 9 months as he has gently shepherded us through the bankruptcy process. When we were at our wits end trying to figure out how we were to deal with the $60,000 we were underwater on our mortgage, it was his kind and exper...t advice that showed us the way to achieve financial solvency. I don't have enough good things to say about him: - He answers every question, now matter how silly it may be. - He answers 98% of all emails within MINUTES - even on the weekend! - He has treated us with not only respect, but kindness through every step of the process. - He is a consummate professional. Since Mr. Wrobel accepted our case (he won't accept it if he feels he can't help you), we have never felt lost or ever felt like we didn't know what was happening. He always keeps us abreast of where we are in the process and tells us what to expect in the future. I am honored to be able to write this review of Mr. Wrobel. I cannot think of where my family and I would be without him.

The Best with a Capital B

Mr. Wrobel and his staff turned what I thought would be the worst experience of my life into a chance for a new beginning. I was indecisive about the whole process. I didn’t want to have to make a tough decision, which really came down to my not wanting to face reality. I finally met with Mr. ...Wrobel. During our meeting, he explained the procedure to me step by step. Despite that I had what seemed like hundreds of questions, he never made me feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. By the time our meeting was over and I retained him, I felt that I was on much steadier ground, feeling more hopeful than I had been in years. During the weeks and months that followed, I continued to barrage him with questions. He responded professionally and in a timely manner. Sometimes I wondered when the man slept. As the hearing date drew near, I emailed him for reassurance, and I felt that he was holding my hand. I saw an expression the other day – When you feel gratitude and don’t express it, it’s like wrapping a gift and not giving it. It made me think of how grateful I am to Mr. Wrobel. I am so glad that I placed my trust in his most capable hands. I want to thank him for his expertise and care, his patience and kindness. He is the Best with a capital B, and I highly recommend him.

Dependable Results Lawyer

I am a Realtor and deal with lawyers on a daily basis. Mr. Wrobel is an exception to the rule. He returns calls, actually cares about his clients, and most of all gets the best results. I highly recommend his services.

BK-7

Mr. Wrobel kept me informed and explained everything to me where I could understand. Any questions I had were answered, and he walked me through the procedure before, during and after my case was filed with the courts. He is very knowledgeable and I don't believe there is a question he can't answer. ...Thank you Mr. Wrobel for being responsive, attentive and sensitive to my needs.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. I started my bankruptcy career under Joe Wrobel. His knowledge of bankruptcy is outstanding and he stays on top of the law. He was courtesy and caring as an employer and he extended those same traits to his clients. He really cares about his clients and their problems. In fact there are numerous consumer bankruptcy lawyers that started out at the "University of Wrobel" to be properly trained, educated and given the opportunity to fly on their own. I also consider Joe a friend, he is extremely honest and forthright, always a pleasure to see and I know his clients feel the same way as they used to tell me how much they liked him when I worked there."
