Posted by anonymous | September 19, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Was fine, ended poorly

We hired this law office to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. It was generally pretty routine, which was fine, but they failed to notice, understand, and/or notify us that one of the loans was cross-collateralized with our property. Now we are stuck owing a personal loan with the title of our property h...eld hostage by the creditor. The office has stopped communicating with us and dropped us without recourse. After consulting with a more experienced bankruptcy attorney, we were told this is legal malpractice, but not worth the damages we would receive to take it to court. Very unprofessional and overall upsetting.

Expertise, Negotiation Skills, and Professionalism at Its Best

Eliza's exceptional negotiation skills and bankruptcy law expertise were instrumental during my company's closure. She successfully negotiated a settlement with a vendor and helped me avoid many pitfalls that only an expert in bankruptcy law knows. Her professionalism, dedication, and ability to anti...cipate and navigate complex legal issues were truly impressive. I highly recommend Eliza to anyone in need of legal services.

Look no further!

Eliza is the best!! At first, I went to a 'Financial Counseling Center' (not a real attorney) who talked real big, but could not help me. I had a very complicated bankruptcy case and Eliza took the time to inform me of all my options. I had a lot of questions, and she always responded to me promptly.... Aside from her timely communication, Eliza is very knowledgeable, professional, and thorough in her work. She educated me about the whole process so there would be no surprises. I felt prepared and informed at every step of the way. Highly recommended!!!

Excellent

I am extremely grateful to have found Ghanooni Law Firm when I needed a bankruptcy attorney. Eliza and Monica were the best attorneys I could have asked for to help me file a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. From the moment I reached out to her, she was professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. She explai...ned the entire process to me in a way that was easy to understand, and she answered all of my questions thoroughly and promptly. Throughout the process, she kept me updated and made sure that I was comfortable with every decision that needed to be made. I felt like she truly cared about my well-being and wanted to help me get through this difficult time. Thanks to her expertise, my bankruptcy went smoothly and I am now in a much better financial position. I highly recommend Ghanooni Law Firm to anyone who needs a bankruptcy attorney.

Don't Look Anywhere Else!

I'd like to thank Eliza and Monica for helping me out with my bankruptcy. This was a stressful situation for both me and my husband and they helped us make it as stress free as possible. Eliza's reassurance and calm demeanor made us confident that everything will work out in the end. This is not ...the first time Ghanooni Law Firm has assisted me or my family with a bankruptcy matter. Our experience is always pleasant and I will make sure to keep sending family members here. Thank you again!
