relieved

I'm glad that I chose Mr Congeni. He and his assistant Michelle were easy to talk to, very informed and very kept me updated through the process. There were a few complications that made my case perhaps harder to settle. Mr Congeni gave me all options and helped me decide which course to take. I ...ultimately filed Chapter 7. I am glad that I followed his lead as everything has worked out better than I hoped for.

simply the best!

I had so much going on in my life and Leo handled my bankruptcy case with care and concern. Leo answered every question quickly and helped to make me feel at ease and that everything would be ok. He was very knowledgeable and diligent in his efforts to get my case solved as quickly as possible. If ...you are in need of a bankruptcy attorney, I would highly highly recommend Leo Congeni!

The "only attorney"

It goes without saying that my husband and I were beside ourselves when we faced the facts that some type of legal assistance was needed to relieve the pressure under which we lived, and felt helpless. We met with several attorneys who were "supposed" to be the best Bankruptcy Lawyers in the State.... They all made us feel worse, and treated us like "two dead beats" that were not deserving of any normal human kindness or willing to do their jobs by dealing with our issues. Then we met Leo Congeni, who treated us like we were his only clients. Once he took time to explain the process and told us that we were welcome to contact him if we needed him, we knew we found "Our attorney". Our bankruptcy was very complicated due to circumstances out of our control. There were times, I was so nervous that I called and emailed Leo numerous times. Each time, Leo answered my questions, and made certain that all questions were answered, and then I regained my confidence that every legal option would be used until our financial problems were gone. My husband and I are not saying Leo is an excellent attorney; we are saying LEO CONGENI is the "ONLY ATTORNEY" we will ever us, and without reservations, we recommend that you retain Leo Congeni for all of your money problems, and anything else that life may throw your way.

Job well done

Leo accepted and filed my bankruptcy on very short notice, doing an outstanding job advising and informing me of all my legal options.

Leo is an outstanding and... hands on Lawyer and person I would recommend him to anyone.
