Expertise Responsive Courteous

Jonathan worked very closely with me from the beginning of deciding to file Chapter 13. I chose to work with him initially because of his knowledge and counsel and it was the best decision I made. He is calm, helpful and compassionate. During the bankruptcy, helped also me get through a leave of abs...ence due to back surgery and stay on track with my payments to the trustee. Every time I panicked Jonathan calmly walked me through options. Filing chapter 13 was the most difficult financial decision that I had to make. Jonathan Vaknin made every step clearer and got me through it as smoothly as possible. I would choose to hire Jonathan if I had to make that choice again, without a doubt.

110% satisfied!

Jonathan Vaknin was a consummate professional in assisting me in such a sensitive area as filing for personal bankruptcy. He was knowledgeable in all of my concerns and issues and amazingly prompt in returning my phone calls thru the entire process. I would not hesitate a moment to refer him to anybo...dy needing assistance in these legal matters. Phil W.

Best bankruptcy lawyer I could ask for

Mr. Vaknin is an amazing attorney to work with. He is professional, patient and goes the extra mile. I was terrified going through bankruptcy but he was by my side ready to answer all questions and walk me through the entire process. He never judged or berated my financial situation or financial deci...sions. He is very easy going and mellow, I highly recommend him and thank him dearly for his help.

Couldn’t have asked for more!

What a great experience I had working with Jonathan Vaknin on my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. He is professional, attentive and very thorough. His experience and knowledge shows in all aspects of what he does. He really knows the law and what he is doing but what sets him apart is his warmth and understandi...ng of his clients needs. I believe that anything needing an attorney can be stressful but he walked me through each step and made me feel supported the whole way through. He explained every detail and was extremely patient. His pricing was very reasonable especially for the time and attention that he gave to me and my case. I didn’t think that I would ever say that I would trust an attorney like “family” however in the case of Jonathan Vaknin I definitely do!

Made my bankruptcy process painless. Jonathan has a real human touch.

I was referred to Mr. Vaknin by Credit Karma. From the first phone interview right through to my public creditors/trustee meeting, Mr. Vaknin proved responsive, caring, patient and completely on the ball in swiftly and accurately guiding me through the filing process. Thanks Jonathan!
