Highly recommened...

Stuart was recommended by a friend. I had no idea of what a bankruptcy was or how to go through a bankruptcy or a chapter "whatever I needed". All I knew is I was having financial problems, was draining my savings to stay afloat and didn't know what to do! Stuart, Dave and Anna explained my options..., help me get through my mess and helped me save my hard earned assets which i thought i was going to have to liquidate to end my financial nightmare... I highly recommend these guys!

Couldn't have asked for more

Compassion, courtesy, informative, and above all attentive. These are just a few of the praises I would like to give this firm. Stu, Anna, and David did everything and more to keep me up to date and lead me through the process. Through texts, emails, and phone calls they let me know everything that w...as going on and what I had to do on my part. I was completely at ease from start to finish. Stu laid out all my options and took the time to discuss each of them at length and answered every question with a smile. David went with me to my hearing and was a huge help to have in my corner. All in all this firm and its people are tops across the board. Thanks to everyone for everything.

Highly recommended!

The greatest compliment to a business is when you can say without hesitation, I highly recommend them. My wife and I hired Stuart Swanson a year ago to advise and represent us in a BK chapter 7. I had interviewed 2 other attorneys face to face in the search process. I chose Stuart. I found from the ...very onset that Stuart was a very knowledgeable, qualified attorney who was also a people person and that makes a huge difference. He listened, advised and represented us in a manner that put us at ease. Our BK was discharged in a very timely manner. The process was painless with no surprises, and in every situation, Stuart was true to his word. The times when I had to call the office I dealt with Anna on the phone. She was always professional, courteous and helpful and followed through on everything that was needed. Stuart Swanson and the David Cutler team have earned my trust and respect and so if you find yourself in need of a great attorney, count on Stuart Swanson.

Staurt Swanson - Very Competant, Professional, Reasonably Priced, Responsive & Tech Savvy Attorney

Stuart Swanson is a very competent and professional bankruptcy attorney. His fees are reasonable. When you start with him he enters all your information into his computer, let's you read it as he goes - he's totally open book about everything. You'll understand the process after the first meeting. He... explains the difference between Chap 7 and Chap 11. After that you can interact with him entirely via email - he's tech savvy enough to deal with that just fine. Bankruptcy is really just a technical process with a paper trail and a simple hearing. It's not that complicated and dealing with Stuart makes it that way. He may charge slightly more than others in the area- only slightly - but that is worth it. He's also a good guy, a nice person. He's dealing with many, many of these hearings each year, but he will know who you are and be able to respond in a timely manner no problem. He's be there for your hearing, side by side with you, and he tells you what to say and what not to say. I honestly can't recommend him enough. He's forthright, truthful, clear, nice, funny, patient. Hey, his office is not the fanciest in the world - it's a basic Skokie office. If you're in the need of this, I'd go see Stuart, he'll put your mind at ease and get you on the the next chapter (so to speak) of your life.
