Financial Freedom

Attorney Kelly Smith, Attorney Jean Huang, and Legal assistant Desiree Glapion. I would like to thank my Bankruptcy Law Firm of Stuart B Handleman and associates named above, on the process of my financial freedom. It is so relieving that, I can start all over! All you ...need to do is get your finances together and give to your lawyer, they do the rest! Thank you, Kimberly

Great Law firm, friendly people and great service

Informative interview at first to let me know all the possible ways of filing Bankruptcy. They continued to communicate with me all that was going on during the entire process. I was well informed before and during the filing and I felt very comfortable with the Attorney's who helped me through thi...s process.

Stuart Handelman is the best!

When I needed some advice for our situation I didn't know who to call. Anyone going through a financial crisis wants to find someone trustworthy, knowledgeable and wants to be treated with respect. So after reading a few reviews online for Mr. Handelman I took a deep breath and picked up the phone ...and made the call to his office. My call was routed to Jean and after giving her a few facts she made an appointment for us to meet with Stuart. Jean was the kindess person and assured me that we would be ok and we were NOT alone! We met with Mr. Handelman close to our home a few days later and it was like talking to a long time friend. He understood our situation and told us not to worry that everything would be fine and that we were in good hands. He is extremely knowledgeable and there was no question he couldn't answer. He filed our Chapter 7 case a few weeks later and we just received our dismissal in time for the new year. There were a few questions I had along the way and he responds sometimes within minutes and always the same day! We were always kept informed and the process was not as bad as I had thought. Now I wished I had made the call months earlier but I am so glad I made the call! Everyone at his office is very kind and a pleasure to deal with. If you are facing a tough time financially call their office. You will not be sorry!

Thank you very much for your kind words. I just want to point out that you received a discharge, not a dismissal. It was a pleasure to represent you, and I hope you stay in touch. Stuart

GREAT Firm, Experts in Bankruptcy

We were referred to The Law Offices of Stuart Handelman by family members who were forced to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Retaining this firm and being represented by Jean Huang was the best decision we've ever made. Our first consult was with attorney Kelly Smith - while she is the Ch. 7 specialists..., she went though all of our options with us and guided us throughout the info gathering process. Attorney Jean Huang handles the firms Ch. 13 filings and is just as good as Ms. Smith. Professional, kind, informative and efficient - those just a few words to describe Ms. Huang. Not to mention the fact that they are well-known and have developed a very solid rapport with the bankruptcy trustee's offices. As glad as we are that our Ch. 13 plan has been discharged and we can start fresh, we are a bit saddened that we will no longer have regular contact with Ms. Huang. Bottom line: if you need any assistance with bankruptcy, call them. It will surely be the best decision you ever made.

Love this firm!

Once I made the decision to file for bankruptcy protection, I did a lot of research to decide which firm to use and the Law Offices of Stuart Handelman repeatedly showed up as one of the best in Chicago. After my first meeting with Kelly Smith, I knew I had made the right decision. She took me thr...ough the different types of bankruptcy filings, performed my means test (I was only eligible for Chapter 13) and walked me through the filing process. After filing, the rest of my case from the meeting with the Trustee until my case was discharged was handled by Jean Huang. I also interacted with their Legal Assistant, Desiree Glapion on several occasions. These ladies are fantastic! Making a decision to file bankruptcy was not a decision I took lightly, but ended up being necessary for my situation. I'm so glad I ended up selecting this firm - Kelly, Jean and Desiree always made me feel very comfortable, and I never felt as though I was being judged. My e-mails and phone calls were always answered within 24 hours and Jean was always prompt in notifying me of any changes or updates with my filing. She was also incredibly patient with all of my questions (there were a lot!) and very thorough in her responses. I really cannot recommend this firm enough - they truly made one of the toughest times in my life much less stressful.
