Very responsive!

My experience with Nick and his team were exceptional! Very responsive and they definitely know what they’re doing. I would recommend them to anybody who is struggling financially. Thank you, Nick!

Posted by Terrence | December 21, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Excellent!

Upon filling out the app online I was contacted by the firm immediately I was a mess in total distress after being turned down by several debt relief programs The staff were quite professional taking all the information necessary to proceed Michael Reed introduced himself He asked me a few questions ...and informed me that I qualified for Chapter 11 bankruptcy He was very clear on a payment plan and the eventuality of the filing date I also received emails detailing what was needed on my behalf like taking a debt course and receiving a certificate of verification to present 6 months prior to filing I believe that I am in the best hands possible Everything was covered and explained in detail A BIG THUMBS UP to Michael Reed and The Wajda Recovery Law firm.

Highly recommend !

I highly recommend Attorney Nicholas Wajda. I've never known someone as efficient and professional as Nicholas. He doesn't waste words nor your time. If one listens carefully to every word he says his guidance is always clear, and concise. His responsiveness is incredible. Even over the difficult lon...g five year period of Chapter 13. He answers every phone call, and every email. But it’s best to email him. My frequent inquiries were always met with patience and comprehensive answers. He may put you on a long hold, but if it’s important to you at times to talk rather than email, stay on hold. And take notes of everything he says. You'll look back on your notes and realize how correct he was. Our successful completion and discharge from a difficult Chapter 13 is a testament to Nicholas. He’s left us in a much much better place. Thank you Nicholas!

Most experience!

Thus far, my experience has been standard I’d say. I don’t have some above and beyond expectation with bankruptcy filing because it is what it is. Attorneys are hired, they tell you what they need from you and you provide it so they can do their jobs. Maybe I am more understanding having worked in th...is field for over 20 years as a paralegal. But please, read the fine print and listen to what you are being told. Retainer fees are almost always “assumed earned” because more work goes into these things than most people realize. I am not familiar with working on bankruptcies in my professional capacity, but I can imagine. As far as the owner being short on the phone, he was, but I can tell you that some of the best attorneys I know are some of the most intimidating, straight to the point people. I prefer it that way. Just give it to me straight and give me the answer. But I’m also someone who takes responsibility for myself, so if you misunderstood something or needed clarity, don’t blame it entirely on a business and submit bad reviews which are potentially damaging to them. Just my two cents. I’ve spoken to Nick twice now and while he is pretty to the point, he still took a moment to answer my questions. Be reminded that he’s a business owner and has a lot of clients to serve, and has a lot of experience in the field. So, let him do his part, and you do your part (which includes reading everything and having a clear understanding of what you’re signing) and no one has to be upset. Win/Win!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2023.

Reprimanded issued in NV, 2023

updated on 11/06/2023

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
