Great Service

The first consultation was very informative, and I felt more at ease. We moved forward with a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Every time there was a communication through email or a phone meeting, it was a pleasant experience. Greg was exactly what I was hoping for. He is professional, knowledgeable, and cou...rteous. I want to thank Greg for his help and kindness during this stressful time.

I can't recommend Greg Shanfeld and the team at Wadhwani & Shanfeld highly enough. From the moment I contacted them, I felt held with care, clarity, and professionalism. We initially explored Chapter 13, and when my circumstances shifted, they pivoted seamlessly and walked me through a Chapter 7 wit...h patience and expertise. Bankruptcy is overwhelming and emotional, but my legal team made sure I was never alone in the process. They explained every step in plain language, kept me informed, and never made me feel ashamed even when i called asking the same question for the second time. What stood out most was their compassion and responsiveness—they treated me like a whole person, not just a case number. The legal team Brenda, Chantal, and Lidia are both kind and informative, they have the knowledge you need to feel confident that experts are handling your fragile moment in time. Thanks to them, I am preparing to have a fresh start and a deep sense of relief. If you're navigating financial hardship and need a team that knows the law and genuinely cares, this is who you want by your side.

Greg Shanfeld...AKA OUR SUPER HERO!!!

I have filed bankruptcy 3 times now. I know, ridiculous! The first time was a chapter 7 and was done after my husband and I both lost our jobs. It was with an attorney who was “OK”, he got the job done. The second time was a chapter 13 with an attorney who didn’t know what the heck he was doing so it... got dismissed. And the third time, this time was with the most incredible attorney on the face of this planet... Greg Shanfeld. I needed to file a 13 because I was looking to strip my 2nd mortgage. The chances of the judge ruling in my favor was slim because the value of my home was climbing. Greg is confident, knowledgeable, caring and super efficient. He called me on a Sunday afternoon as a follow up to my internet inquiry. He even left his cell phone number. You can be sure I spoke with MANY attorneys to get the job done this 3rd time around, especially because the previous 13 was dismissed due to the attorney being a knucklehead. I could spot an outstanding attorney from a mile away. Greg returned/took my calls promptly, he was kind and didn’t make me feel like a big fat loser, he listened intently and always offered a solution. My case was tough, not only was my value throwing a wrench into the BK, my income was also challenging. I’d also like to point out that many other attorneys I spoke to were so negative. Greg’s positive attitude was a breathe of fresh air that filled me with new found hope. I am beyond grateful to Greg for his expertise and kind attitude. We just found out a few weeks ago that the judge ruled in our favor to strip the lien. Of course he did!!! We have the best attorney representing us!!!! Thank you Greg from the bottom of my heart for taking good care of your clients. May God bless you all the days of your life!!!!

Mr and Mrs K

My wife and I want to thank Greg and everyone at Wadhwani & Shanfeld for saving us after having had our bank accounts seized, paychecks garnished by 25% and liens put on our home. When I met with Greg he explained all of our options and what the possible outcomes for each option would be. After we ...carefully decided on the best course of action he and his staff handled all the necessary information requests, filings and court deadlines with perfection. He and his team's work on our case was so outstanding it is beyond description. Especially when the Trustee suddenly wanted to increase our base amount owed, extend our payment plan by 16 months and raise our plan payment to an amount that we never could have handled. Because of a successful motion we went from this threat of additional hardship from the payment increase and extra payments lengthing our plan to having most of the remaining debt removed from our case and the payment staying the same. Because of the old debt removal motion the number of payments remaining was shortened so our case was recently discharged about a year earlier than scheduled. All of the success we had from the start of our bk to the shortening of the plan and early discharge was because of Greg and everyone there. We highly recommend his firm for anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. William and Kristen K.
