5 Star Bankruptcy Attorney

Jonathan was great at handling my Ch. 13 case. I originally hired a different law firm, but my case was later transferred to Jonathan's law firm. Since the transfer, he has been professional, attentive, and quick to respond. I highly recommend anyone considering filling to give him a call.

Excellent and Professional Attorney

We hired Jonathan as our Chapter 13 attorney over a year ago and he was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and made the Chapter 13 process easier to cope with. I was and continue to be very impressed with his response time, dedication and service. Although we live in San Diego, CA and Jonathan's off...ice is in Burbank he always made it to our court dates on time and took the time to walk us through Chapter 13 every step of the way making it less stressful for us. Although over a year has passed since our Chapter 13 was filed we continue to receive the same attention, help, and excellent customer service from Jonathan at any time of the day. I highly recommend Jonathan to anyone seeking to hire a Bankruptcy attorney.

Mr.

Towards the end of my 3rd year Ch. 13 case the firm owner had stage 3 cancer and closed his firm and it became necessary for assignment of a substitute attorney which I consented to and he promptly returned all my calls and answered any questions I had. In particular when my wife died before the Disc...harge of our case, he coordinated with the Trustee to make sure her name remained on the Discharge at a time when I was under great stress and having to deal with many issues. He followed through on everything he did for me and I am grateful that I was fortunate to have him for an attorney.

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.

Extraordinary Lawyer and Human Being

I was in the worst financial situation of my life. I had been screwed over by modification companies, and was about to lose our house of 17 years. I interviewed about 4 different bankruptcy lawyers, and gravitated toward Jonathan Vaknin. He was down to earth, and extremely knowledgeable. We hired him... about a week later, and he became our consultant on how to handle every step of the Chapter 13 bankruptcy. After not trusting anyone, he eased every worry that came our way. After 20 months into our bankruptcy, our finances were still not where they needed to be. Jonarhan came up with every option for us, and we decided to sell the house. Again, Jonathan jumped in to help the whole process. We believed in him so much, and his concern for my family's well being, we trusted him and an amazing reality team. They got us top dollar for our home, rid of all liens,and 100 percent debt free. Our goal was to be out of bankruptcy within 2 years and we achieved the goal, thanks to Jonathan Vaknin!!!!! Hes honesty and professionalism are superior!!
