Simply the BEST !!

Bereliani Law Firm is the BEST! After vetting a few bankruptcy attorneys, I hired Sanaz & her team. Sanaz is extremely knowledgeable of bankruptcy law, trustworthy, straightforward, communicative & responsive, and has a compassionate heart. She answered my numerous questions, met with me in person, a...nd helped ease my worries, making the stress of this whole ordeal more manageable & easier to navigate. Highly recommend her firm for their extensive knowledge base, professionalism, and excellent work!!

Professional Prompt Persistent

I received a notice from my bank that there was a levy on all of my accounts from a contested $376 Citibank transaction from over 15 years ago. It had snow balled to $11,000. I’m just a psych nurse who works the nightshift caring for patients too compromised with mental illness to remain at Twin Tow...ers. Sanaz was careful to never let me feel ashamed or judged. She explained everything in ways that I could understand and calmed my down from my own panic attacks, really. Her and Chris worked around my crazy asleep all day schedule yet remained incredibly prompt. I know that couldn’t have been easy. What was easy was trusting her. We managed to get everything done electronically I never missed one shift at the hospital. Persistent? She negotiated my case down by just over 68% stopped the harassment and even gave me back something for being a healthcare professional. I recommend her to colleagues friends and family. Truly an angel at my time of need. Thank you so much

Look no further, you found the best.

If you are considering filing or are ready to file for bankruptcy I don’t have to describe to you the stress filled, emotional roller coaster ride that I was on. So when I found the Bereliani Law Firm at www.berelianilaw.com and garnered the courage to call, I was instantly put at ease upon speaking ...with Sanaz Sara Bereliani, Esq. Her depth of knowledge, accompanied by her professional yet incredibly personal manor allowed me to explain my situation easily. She knew all the right questions to ask in order to discover the absolute best path forward for me. Once we determined that filing was best, the process felt smooth as I was thoroughly guided though each necessary step by Sanaz and her professional staff. It truly was as comfortable as I believe this experience can be. My case was a complete success and everything happened on the exact timelines we expected thanks to Sanaz and her incredible team at the Bereliani Law Firm. Therefore I would like to highly recommend that if you are in need of Bankruptcy representation look no further and call Sanaz Sara Bereliani at the Bereliani Law Firm. You will be taken care of.

An expert with a good bedside manner...

I highly recommend Bereliani law firm and Sanaz if you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of considering filing for bankruptcy. We filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy in 2015 and as you can expect, it was far from smooth sailing with job losses and COVID during that span. Sanaz and her staff exper...tly guided us through the process, was never judgemental, and always took time to answer our questions as the years went by. Responsive, smart, caring and as affordably priced as you can expect for such an excellent service, I would not hesitate to send anyone her way if the need arisen.
