For the first time in my life I found myself in a situation that seemed unfixable. I allowed a person to take advantage of my finances. I was scared and felt all alone. I finally decided to contact a lawyer. Initally I went to a different firm and spoke to a lawyer there. I walked out of that office ...in tears. She made me feel ashamed of myself for allowing that to happen. She belittled me and cursed at me. It was horrible! After some time had passed I decided to try talking to a lawyer again. This time my experience was night and day! I initially met with Kelly Smith, she is amazing! She immediately put my fears at ease. I felt like I was talking to a long time friend. Kelly normally deals with Chapter 7 and I was filing for Chapter 13. However Kelly was the one who helped me get the paperwork started and went to court with me. After my trustee was assigned my case was then re-assigned to Jean Huang. She to is very competent, professional and prompt. Anytime I had questions or concerns she answered them immediately. Anytime I called into the office thier legal assistant Desiree Glapion was also prompt and professional. I would highly recommend this office to anyone. They were my life savers when I was drowning.

When I decided to file my case, I initially met with two attorneys and called a third. The choice was crystal clear to me when I met with Att. Kelly Smith at the Stuart B. Handleman offices. Attorney Smith was the MOST transparent with me about my choices and what I would need to do to accomplish my ...goals. Obviously this created trust in my relationship immediately with her, which she never let down. I also appreciated that Att. Smith was 100% on top of it, and had a get-it-done attitude - there was no messing around, which enabled me to have a very clean & tidy experience with her. Plus, it didn't hurt that I saved hundreds of dollars choosing her over another attorney - but, I would honestly have paid more if necessary to feel as comfortable as I did with her. This was my financial future on the line, and I wasn't interested in having any regrets down the road, or wondering if someone could have represented me better. I could not have possibly felt more comfortable with Attorney Smith and have no questions or regrets on my decision to choose her for my case. It all went smoothly & successfully. Thank you for excellent service!
