He handles our objection to a bankruptcy and got it dismissed as a bad faith filing, which it was. He handled further proceedings on the judgment that provided the impetus for the bad faith bankruptcy and got the appeal dismissed. He is experienced, competent and responsive.

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, HONEST LAWYER !!!
I would highly recommend Ben to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair and who wants someone that will keep your best interest and unique needs at the forefront. Honest, trustworthy and very straight forward is what Ben is. In unvarnished truth he will tell you exactly where you stand and what direction you should go. He has tenacity coupled with a degree of tenderness but never losing site of the end goal, which is to protect, defend and have the best outcome for his client. I will now only seek Ben and and Woolf & Nachimson's advise whenever a need arises for legal services and further counsel for any sort of business related issues. I would not hesitate to seek representation from Ben Nachimson again.

Highly Recommend for representation
Ben was very helpful on a few separate issues that he was helping us with. Both at his understanding of the law, and his ability to work to a positive outcome that was not clear from the beginning. I look forward to continue working with Ben for our legal issues.
