Excellent Team

Stuart walked me through every step of the process and got to work immediately. Him and his team kept me informed and communicated with me constantly. They thoroughly explained the process and fought for me at every turn. The judge was really hesitant about allowing me to file due to a past failed ba...nkruptcy but him and his team fought for me and pleaded with the judge for me! Thanks so much Jean Huang and Stuart Handelman!

Great Experience

I contacted Mr. Handelman after a failed case with a major bankruptcy mill. Stuart reviewed the information from the dismissed case, found the errors as well as determined that I could have filed 7 instead of 13. He answered all my questions and made sure I understood everything that was going on an...d what would take place next. He was in constant communication with me to report any changes or things that happened unexpectedly. He worked around my work schedule and was very understanding. When COVID shut the world down he was still working hard for me; giving me updates as he received them from the courts and trustees and again making sure that I was aware of what was happening and how it would effect me, also that I understood it all. It’s like being in a lecture hall with 400 students or taking a class with 30. You get more assistance that is tailored to your specific needs. This is the difference between working with Stuart as opposed to working with a chain bankruptcy firm. Stuart will be able to tailor your interactions and filing based on your needs and goals he doesn’t use a once size fits all approach because he knows that doesn’t work. Stuart made the experience quite easy for me. His approach takes away the fear and anxiety that may come with filing.

Three words only: Honesty+Dedication=Winning

Mr. Stuart B. Handelman and his team are very experienced. I consulted with two other attorneys before I met with him. One attorney wouldn’t take my case because it was too complicated for him. The other one recommended not hiring an attorney. I kept searching until I met Mr. Handelman, he was very k...nowledgeable and explained everything to me in simple words to understand. He would contact me constantly either to remind me of an appointment, or to send him documents that he needs. A few months later he called me to tell me the result was to our favor. Mr. Handelman and Kelly Smith work for their clients very hard. Very experienced, pleasant to work with, knowledgeable on what they do. I will recommend his office to my family and friends.

Great attorney

I wanted to find the right fit for an attorney to do my bankruptcy. After meeting with 2 other attorneys who I didn’t hire , I met Stuart. He was kind, compassionate and professional which was exactly the kind of lawyer I needed. My case went very smoothly and he was always easy to communicate with b...y text, phone or email. I highly recommend him.

Understanding and Professional

I had a good feeling about Stuart from our very first meeting at the initial consultation. He was understanding and painted a very clear picture as to what would follow if I retained his services. I had spoken to multiple other attorney's offices regarding this matter, and Stuart was by far and away ...the most human of the bunch. I did not get that "big corporation" feel from him like I did the others. From the beginning of the process to the end, there was never a delay with communicating news/information to me. Any time something was needed of me for him and his staff to do their job, I was given ample time and explanation as to what that would be. I actually have zero complaints about him as a lawyer or about any of his staff working with him. The bankruptcy was as smooth and painless as something like that can be. I really appreciate him and what he does, and am grateful/lucky I picked to sit down with him out of the many lawyers that showed up in my internet search.
