Chapter 7

If you EVER need an HONEST, Caring Lawyer who gives YOU the time YOU need, this is the lawyer you want. Mr Wrobel quickly set up a consultation for us to meet with him.(It was nice that he has so many offices to make the meeting place convenient for us) He made us feel so comfortable when we met fo...r our consultation that we knew we JUST had to go with him.He totally took his time when explaining the difference between all bankruptcies and what was BEST for us. No hidden agenda with this man VERY upfront and HONEST. He does exactly what he tells you he is going to do. He is THERE to HELP YOU . Always VERY quick to respond to an e-mail or call you back on the phone. I would recommend Mr. Wrobel to anyone who is considering bankruptcy. Don't waste you time calling other lawyers . Take us at our word ...the ONLY Lawyer for you to call is MR. WROBEL. We just finished with our bankruptcy and he was true to his word. He told us it would painless and he was right !! We just can't Thank Him enough for getting us through this process and now we are on our way to a much better financial situation !!

great chapter 7 bankr. attorney

My husband and I needed to file for chapter 7 bankruptcy. It was something we never thought we would need to do and we were sick over having to file. All our stress and worries were taken away after we hired Attorney Wrobel. He made everything very easy- he was available all the time- he was flexible... and allowed us to communicate via email, which helped us a lot because our job schedules didn't allow for us to see him in person, and our cell phone plans charged us for every minute used, so being able to do everything via email was perfect for us. From start to finish, everything was easy and stress free. From the date of filing chapter 7 to the discharge date, it was around less than 4 months and we are now able to get a fresh start in our life/finances. We were dreading having to file for chapter 7 and with having Mr. Wrobel as an attorney, we believe we made one of the best decisions to file.

Highly Recommended

I was going through a very rough patch - obviously, because I needed a bankruptcy attorney - and Atty Wrobel allowed me to see him quickly after calling, let me set up an appt convenient to my work hours, took a lot of time with me -- learning the extent of my financial hole, talking to me about my o...ptions and explaining the implications of my decision, allowing me to sob my humiliation in his office without judgment. I never regretted my decision to go with Chapter 13, I was able to consult with him when I had questions, and here I am, 5 years later, solvent, starting over and feeling enormously better about my situation. It's like a new lease on life and Atty Wrobel was the fine attorney and person who led me to this place. I can't thank him enough. I work for a law firm practicing another kind of law, so I am also well aware that Atty Wrobel's fee is more than reasonable.

Great experience

We had the great experience with the office of Mr. Wrobel. They worked hard to make sure that we qualify for ch7. The whole experience for pretty smooth and we were told what to expect every step of the way. I was pleasantly surprised, after reading some of the experiences from other offices/attorney...s.

Posted by anonymous | October 01, 2015 | Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Wonderful Attorney

I was nearing the end of my chapter 13 payment plan with another lawyer when something unexpected happened. I needed to make an important decision but my lawyer was really not giving me the answers to my questions to help me make my decision on how to proceed further with the bankruptcy. I found an...d consulted with Joseph Wrobel and I'm so HAPPY I did. He found time for me right away and took his time explaining my options fully that helped me make a final decision without any doubts. He even followed up with me. I wish I found him when I filed for my chapter 13 five years ago. I felt like he really cared about my situation and I felt very comfortable with him. I wish he was my lawyer from day one.

Bankruptcy and debt lawyer | Jan 24

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."
