Great man, amazing lawyer

I don't even know where to begin with the praise for Mr. Vaknin. I contacted him and he immediately calmed my nerves with the situation at hand. I am not a lawyer, so when I was served, I was noticeable shaken by the situation. He was quick to assure me that the situation would be handled quickly. He... was not wrong! After a few phone calls, he was able to get the case dismissed without having to go through the litigation process. The peace of mind Mr. Vaknin was able to provide me and my family is priceless. If you need any bankruptcy situation handled, please contact Mr. Vaknin, as his experience speaks for itself! If anything comes up like this again, my only call will be to Mr. Vaknin!

Bankruptcy Consultation

I was referred to John by another lawyer who trusted him with the specifics of my case. John took his time and with great detail analyzed my entire situation, caused by COVID-19 and recommended several possible outcomes with great clarity. Bankruptcy is a new concept to me and I have no experience wi...th hiring lawyers. John was the 2nd lawyer I consulted with and he was much more thorough and did not pressure me to hire him on the spot over the phone like the other one. I would trust John.

Best Bankruptcy Lawyer!

Vaknin Law Firm is amazing ! Jonathan is very easy to talk to & understanding! My husband & I filed for bankruptcy with Jonathan’s help & not once did we feel out of the loop, he always kept us informed. He would respond to our calls or emails the same day, never had to wait around. We thought filin...g for bankruptcy during COVID-19 was going to be difficult but Jonathan made it so smooth from start to finish! Can’t thank him enough!

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!!
