Great Bankruptcy Attorney

The law offices of Stuart B. Handelman were great for my bankruptcy. I actually went to two other "bankruptcy mills" before and was told by them that I would have to file for a chapter 13 bankruptcy and wouldnt qualify for a chapter 7. The law offices of Stuart Handelman got me into a chapter 7 wit...hout any difficulty. They also make the whole bankruptcy process very easy to deal with. They show you exactly what you need to do and get done and also are great about getting back to you when you call with any questions. Bankruptcy can be tough to go through and they make the entire process very easy to deal with. I would highly recommend the law offices of Stuart Handelman for anybody that is thinking about filing bankruptcy.

Kelly Smith was great!

I was referred to Kelly Smith in Mr. Handelman's office. I met with Kelly to discuss my bankruptcy options. Kelly was very straight forward. She answered all of my questions, gave wonderful advise and was very easy to work with. She was very efficient and things went very smooth. I thought the... bankruptcy process would drag out for awhile but things were settled very quickly. I also felt that her fee for services was very reasonable.

Great job handling our Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Case in Will County IL

Attorney Kelly Smith,   Attorney Jean Huang, and Legal assistant Desiree Glapion. helped my wife and I with our bankruptcy case in Will County. They followed up with us when information was needed and kept us informed thru the entire process where everything stood. After our case was discharged I ...was upset that our home and car was not re-affirmed after the discharge. After a few weeks and many conversations with Kelly I finally realized why this wasn't done and have total respect for Kelly Smith. She was looking out for our best interest personally on why things were done that way. Anytime I needed to get in contact with the office someone was available and someone always returned my call quickly and emails also. As I stated above even after our case was discharged the attorney still was taking my phone calls. I can't say that many attornies would return the calls. Great job and if your looking for a law firm who is truly there for the best interest for either yourself or your family hire this law firm.

This Firm "Handels It"!

I found Stuart B. Handlemans Firm on the internet. Oddly enough, I have been involved with Attorneys my whole life. My Father was an Illinois Lawyer. My best friend is a great Trial lawyer in California. I even use to market for attorney firms on Television via infomercials for Bankruptcy and other p...roducts. Three years ago, I fell into trouble with millions in debt load. I consulted 5 attorney's both here in Illinois and California about filing Bankruptcy. Each had attributes and each had lacked a clear, defined, game plan. I browsed the internet and found Stuart B. Handlemans Firm. I called in and spoke to Kelly Smith, Attorney at Law. I indicated that I thought "my situation" was complicated. Kelly kind of chuckled or let's say I could here her smiling..... My wife and I met with Kelly Smith. Kelly was very diligent, attentative, and straight forward. Kelly knows her business! Kelly gave me a punch list, clear instructions and timelines. I was VERY IMPRESSED by her professional attitude and CONFIDENCE. Kelly knows exactly what she is doing and personally did most if not all of the prep work on my case. I was relatively nervous about the 341 hearing because my Bankruptcy was in the Millions and I felt apprehensive until I walked in the room and there she was! Kelly Smith sat with us and explained the next few events. Our hearing went smooth as silk! I could tell that Kelly is VERY respected by the Trustee handling our case. Kelly commanded the room and we were in her element. Kelly Smith is a diamond that shines in the world of Bankruptcy. Kelly is what I would call " A cast Iron Marshmellow". She is tough and commands respect on the exterior but she also demonstrated compassion and empathy for our family. By the way, the fees charged were market fees, and they did not slide because my debts were larger than average. I know this from knowing many attorney's in the field. Truth be told, Kelly Smith and The Law firm of Stuart B. Handleman are worth their weight in Gold. Thank You Mr. Handleman and my special thanks to Kelly Smith for her excellence and professionalism.

Excellent Service and Results

Stuart and his team handled my Chapter 7, no asset BK and did a wonderful job. Entering BK can be a stressful time that no one wants to face, but I felt my case was treated with attention to detail and I was given sound advice. That made it better. Kelly tells it like it is! I appreciate that. T...oday I am in a better place and have been rebuilding. Even now I can always reach out about credit reporting questions which Stuart investigates without hesitation to protect your rights. Pricing for representation is also very reasonable. I really do recommend this law office highly.
