A New Start

I began working with Stuart over the course of two years, and I found him to be professional, dilligent, and sensitive to the delicate nature of filing bankruptcty. I received emails and phone calls in a timely manner and no question was to small. I have elated at having a new start and would highl...y recommend to anyone considering bankruptcy.

VERY SATISFIED CLIENT!!

Stuart Handelman and his Firm in one of the best! The last few years has been very difficult personally. I had to be around one too many attorneys. Some good and some not so... Then you have Stuart, who is head and shoulders above the rest. Stuart is very knowledgeable, very professional, patien...t and so easy to talk to. When I first sat with Stuart, he made me feel like I had known him for years and I was just talking to an old friend. I can tell that Stuart cared about me and my case on a personal level and that I wasn't just a case number to him. Stuart was the first one to say every person deserves a 2nd chance, which really hit home and I really appreciated hearing. With Stuart's representation, that's exactly what I got, a 2nd chance. I never once felt judged by Stuart or his staff. Each time I had to reach out to them, including Stuart, I always got a very quick response. There was even times when I reached out to Stuart on a Saturday and Sunday and he called me right back. I am still amazed at the level of attention I received from Stuart and his Associates time and time again. The reviews for Stuart speak for themselves and they don't lie. If you look at Stuart's reviews and then the other attorneys it is night and day. Another attorney might have several reviews with decent feedback. Stuart's near 200 and each client has nothing but great things to say. When you hire Stuart you hire the whole Firm. The first person I had an interaction with was Desiree G. I was very impressed by her right away. I had a ton I was dealing with and I tried to say as much as I can because it was the end of they day and I wanted to explain my whole case, before they close. Desiree let me explain my whole story, never once interrupted and she even empathized with me each point I made. What can you say about this treatment? I am so glad that Desiree put me at ease and offered the free consultation with Stuart. I even had a few interactions with the other two attorneys, Jean Huang and Kelly Smith over the phone, and you guessed it, they too didn't disappoint. Both were also very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. Bankruptcy is a very big decision and something very personal. I can honestly tell you that hiring Stuart Handelman and his Firm was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Stuart gives a free consultation and you have nothing to lose. Stuart's fees were also very reasonable and he works with you at a level that you can afford. Stuart and the Firm has several locations in the area and they do a great job of accommodating you and your needs. Do yourself a big favor, before you think about talking to any other attorneys, talk to Stuart first. I guarantee you that you won't be disappointed! Thank you Stuart, Desiree, Jean and Kelly for the great treatment I received, the great work that you all did for me and giving me that 2nd chance that every one deserves. Best Professional Regards, Scott U.

Chapter 7

I cannot say enough about Mr. Handleman 's level of professionalism and patience. He and his staff treated me with compassion and respect. He never once rushed me into filing chapter 7, instead he allowed me to come to my own conclusions and guided me through the process. I've never not had an instan...ce were I reached out with uncertainty and Mr. Handleman answered via day, evening or night. Upon arriving to my meeting of the creditors I was greeting whole heartedly by his colleague Jean Haugh and she too displayed the same ethical and moral conduct that I experienced from Mr. Handleman. While at the meeting I noticed that there were a lot of clients from a larger law firm who advertises as the best, but somehow I observed them rushing through there long list of clients like robots and just treating them as another case number. I knew then that I had made the right decision. Jean haung sat right next to me and never left my side. That made me feel like a person and not another case. I would recommend this firm to anyone who is in need of relief. I am more than appreciative for the outcome of my case, and truly feel that no other attorney would have had such a victory for me. I was able to keep my home and because of great advise from Jean I was able to get out of a really bad car loan and get a newer car, before I was even discharged.

Exceptional Attorneys

Stuart Handelman and his staff far exceeded my expectations. Not only are they compassionate and kind people, they are exceptional attorneys who know the law and helped me through a difficult, stressful time filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. I can't say enough about the Handelman Firm. I was very fo...rtunate to have found them and very fortunate that they represented me. They have given me peace of mind and have helped me stay positive about the future. The first day I met Stuart he told me to stay positive, that this was a new start and I can only go forward. Thank you Stuart, Jean, Kelly and Desiree for making a very difficult time in my life easier to accept. Your guidance and expertise has been priceless.

Great Attorney - Highly Recommended

Stuart is a great bankruptcy attorney. He was very thorough in explaining my options. I had a very difficult case, but Stuart said he would do all he can in order to file on my behalf for Chapter 7 and he did just that. I hired him November 2014 and my debts were discharged by the end of March 2015.... He was very quick in answering all of my questions and held my hand through the whole process. When he told me he had this, he really did. I would highly recommend him.
