My Case

I am a paralegal by trade and have worked with many attorneys as well as having hired several attorneys in the past to handle various issues on my behalf. My recent financial difficulties left me struggling to find solutions. When it was suggested that filing for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy might be a so...lutions to my problems, Barry came highly recommended to me as an experienced attorney to represent me. He is by far, the best attorney I have ever had the good fortune to be associated with. He is knowledgeable and responsive. He explained things to me in detail and kept me informed at every turn throughout the process. I recommend him without hesitation.
