Highly recommend Kateryna Bilenka

I am truly grateful to Bilenka Law Firm and especially to attorney Kateryna Bilenka, who personally handled our Chapter 7 bankruptcy case. From the very beginning, Kateryna was professional, knowledgeable, organized, and incredibly patient in explaining every step of the process and answering all ...of our questions clearly. She treated us with genuine care and respect during a very difficult time for our family. Our case was handled efficiently, carefully, and with great attention to detail, and we always felt that we were in trustworthy and capable hands. I specifically and confidently recommend attorney Kateryna Bilenka to anyone who needs an experienced, honest, and compassionate bankruptcy attorney. We are deeply thankful for her support and hard work. With gratitude, Elvira and Aleksandr Podzharyy

Kateryna Bilenka is a lifeline for people struggling!

I cannot put into words how grateful I am for Kateryna. Going into bankruptcy is terrifying, but from the moment we met, she took my hand and made the entire process feel manageable. She didn't just see me as a case number; she truly listened and showed deep empathy for my situation. What touched ...me the most was her trust in me. She allowed me to make payments, which was a lifeline I didn’t think I’d find. She walked me through every single step, constantly kept me updated on my case, and always looked out for my best interests. I’m just a few months away from being charged off, and I feel like I have my life back. She is a true asset to our community and a compassionate advocate for people who are struggling. If you are scared and need someone you can trust, look no further.Thank you Kateryna from the depths of my soul.

Case Handled With Expertise And Care

Bilenka Law Firm has been a huge lifesaver for me! Kateryna has been an incredible help, perfectly explaining all options and choices. Oftentimes, I was shown choices that I wasn't aware of. Her patience and expertise on my case made me feel like it was being personally handled by someone who care...s, rather than just a by-the-numbers approach. I wish I had contacted this firm earlier! I highly recommend the firm, for anyone looking for its services!

Best. LAWYER. EVER!!!!!

Ms. Kateryna Bilenka or Katya, as she asked me to call her, is the most badass, brilliant, big-hearted, high-level lawyer I’ve ever met. She took care of my case effortlessly, with grace, kindness, and formidable expertise, while holding my hand throughout the entire process. She is a godsend whom yo...u should HIRE AT ONCE. I found Katya through Yelp, when I realized I’d need to declare bankruptcy after the pandemic, since I owed too much money to my landlord, even after fundraising and receiving grants from 2020-2024. I was terrified and crestfallen. I had worked so VERY hard to save my apartment home and was suddenly about to lose it all over again. Katya helped me put together the paperwork to declare bankruptcy and assisted me at EVERY TURN with my documents, when I had no idea what I was doing and so, so scared. She communicated well, consistently, via text and email, and never left me hanging. Ever. Ever! She also helped me write a few letters to my landlord to ask for ways to stay living in my home, because if I declared bankruptcy, he wouldn’t get the money I owed him, and I would also be evicted. I didn’t want this. Katya and I both hoped the landlord didn’t either. In the end, because of Katya’s help, I didn’t have to declare bankruptcy AND I STAYED LIVING IN MY HOME through a payment plan we all navigated together, even though the end of the pandemic meant I needed to have paid all of my back rent already, which I had not. Through the miracle of Katya’s professionalism, she and I prevailed, and she proved that she was nothing short of a lawyerly guardian angel and big sister I never had. I always felt protected, heard, seen, and supported by Katya. I felt like her equal, never her subordinate, working with her on the same team to keep me in my home. WHAT A GIFT that I could stay living in my precious Hollywood bungalow. And what a treat that Katya also worked with me on a payment plan for her services, too. From my heart, THANK YOU, KATYA! You are the ABSOLUTE best! And the lawyer of the year award goes to… YOU.

The Perfect service

I contacted the Bilenka Law Firm unsure of where to start and with so many questions! Kateryna took the time to walk me through the process, answered every single one of my questions, and made me feel very secure in my decision. She took the time to make sure that I had everything I needed and always... made herself available for any further questions. She provided a great service and made my process very easy!
