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.

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.

Having had bad legal experiences in the past, I knew I needed a specialist. After searching the internet, I came up with a short list of four lawyers in my area. I figured, I'd go see them all for a free consultation then pick the best. I got lucky! I went to see Stuart first. He exceeded all my expe...ctations, before during and after the case. I have no hesitation offering my highest possible recommendation to Stuart Handelman. And, I will definitely call him first should I have any legal issues in the future. Thanks Stuart, you're the best!
