Working with Stuart was awsome. He explained the entire process to me and was always available for any questions I had. He was very patient and caring during a very difficult time for me. He was professional and is an expert at what he does in my openion. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a...n attorney.

Stuart has the ability to explain legal options in way that I can understand. He was very patient with me until I made a decision that made sense for my situation. Now that my case has been completed, I feel great and I am moving on with my creative life! He even took time with me after the "discharg...e" to assure me that I am on the right track. Feeling in control again!

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.

Stuart Handelman was wonderful. I was nervous and very afraid to make a decision on filing bankruptcy. He took the time to explain the process and answered all of my questions. He made himself available whenever I had questions. Even when everything was complete he gave me the assistance I needed. He... is kind, professional, and an excellent attorney. I would definitely recommend using his services. Everything worked out perfectly based on his handling my case.

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.
