Trust and empathy matter!

Working with Mr. Handelman, in the mist of worry and fear, was a breath of FRESH AIR! Finally someone that is not just money centered, but also empathetic to your personal situation and circumstances. I felt heard and seen and like he genuinely cared about what would be best for me as a person. He ...is knowledgeable and frank without being rude or dismissive. He knows his business and presents facts clearly and throughly. I have found him to be a man of his word; rate in the times in which we now live. I am happy to have found someone who I can trust and work with.

Great to work with

I had a very positive experience with the Law Office of Stuart B. Handelman throughout my bankruptcy process. Bankruptcy can be an extremely stressful and overwhelming experience, but their office made me feel supported and informed every step of the way. Everyone I interacted with was professiona...l, helpful, and patient with my questions. They took the time to explain the process, made sure I understood what was expected of me, and helped make a difficult situation feel much more manageable. I’m very grateful for the guidance and assistance I received and would absolutely recommend the Law Office of Stuart B. Handelman to anyone who is considering bankruptcy and looking for an experienced and supportive legal team.

Going through ...bankruptcy can be stressful and overwhelming, but Stuart made the process much easier. I truly appreciated his patience, honesty, and willingness to help. He made me feel like I was more than just a client. Thank you, Stuart, for your professionalism and for helping me through a difficult season. I am very grateful for your assistance and would definitely recommend you to anyone needing a bankruptcy attorney.

They made the process easier

Working with The Law Offices of Stuart B Handelman was the best choice I could have made for filing my Chapter 13 bankruptcy. I initially worked with Kelly Smith who made the process very smooth by laying out what we needed to do in a simple and direct way. Next we worked with Jean Huang who was very... kind and had awesome communication in what we needed to do and kept us on task with timelines and deadlines. This team was very detrimental in the successful completion of our Chapter 13 and I am so grateful that we got to work with them. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking help with this difficult process.

Book that consultation!!

When I finally decided that bankruptcy was the best option after exhausting every avenue I could think of, it wasn’t because I wanted an easy way out. It was because I had reached a point where, despite doing everything I could, I was sinking deeper into debt. Getting sick and falling behind on my bi...lls was one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced because I’ve always taken pride in paying my financial obligations on time. Asking for help wasn’t easy. Like many people, I carried a lot of shame and fear around the idea of bankruptcy. You can’t help but feel like you’ve failed. After speaking with a few attorneys, I found Stuart on Avvo, and I am so grateful that I did. From the very first consultation, Stuart was incredible. He didn’t just explain the legal process—he walked me through every step with patience, compassion, and honesty. He answered every question I had, no matter how small, and made sure I understood exactly what to expect. More importantly, he made sure I was okay. During one of the most emotional and overwhelming seasons of my life, having an attorney who genuinely cared made all the difference. Stuart reminded me of something I’ll never forget: filing bankruptcy doesn’t make you a failure. Sometimes life happens. Illness happens. Unexpected circumstances happen. Making the difficult decision to seek a fresh start isn’t giving up—it’s choosing to move forward. If you’re reading reviews because you’re scared or unsure, I understand exactly how you feel. I was in your shoes not long ago. My advice is simple: book the consultation. You owe it to yourself to understand your options before making any decisions. There is absolutely no pressure, only information, guidance, and someone who truly wants to help. Thank you, Stuart, for helping me find a path forward and for giving me peace of mind during one of the most difficult chapters of my life. I’ll never forget your kindness, your professionalism, or the compassion you showed me throughout this process.
