Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

What a great job they did for me. Being under so much pressure, they alleviated the process and made the BK relatively simple but professional. I could contact them and get a response so quickly. Lazaro made the process happen, and I am thankful for Shelly, who works the front desk, for being there a...t every turn. I highly recommend this Co.

1 Million Stars!

I do not have enough kind and thankful words for Lazaro and Shelly. To say I highly recommend them isn't even close to the accolades they deserve. I drew out filing for an excessive amount of time and their guidance and helpfulness never once waned. They answer emails and calls promptly. One of my fa...vorite things about Laz is that HE will call you and answer all your questions when requested. In my experience, many attorneys with teams push off communication to their staff and avoid clients but not Laz. And wow, Shelly is wildly knowledgeable and honestly just has the best personality to help you through one of the hardest decisions. They both are, but she is the best first line of communication there is. There can be so much shame surrounding filing and they help alleviate that stress as well. I will forever be grateful that they were the team I hired.

Competent and Caring Attorney

Lazaro was able to assist me in navigating the legal process and filing the necessary documents protecting my interests. He is highly regarded in the legal community but more importantly he goes above and beyond for his clients. I wish all lawyers were like Lazaro!

Bankruptcy and debt

Support throughout the process by Mr. Fernandez and his staff was for me, superlative. Anyone seeking relief from predatory Credit Card lenders through bankruptcy will be highly satisfied. My life has completely changed now. He stated to me at one point and I quote "When its over you will say to your...self, I should have done this long ago" Yes, That is absolutely correct, I have done so on more than one occasion. Bravo Sir, thank you very much.

The lawyer you want by your side!

I found myself in uncharted waters and quite overwhelmed at the task of Bankruptcy that loomed before me, from my very first consultation Laz put my fears at ease. From start to finish he was ALWAYS available to answer any and all questions with a kindness and understanding second to none. His offi...ce staff had the same professional and courteous and thoughtful manner and they too were always available and always understanding. They were specific and clear on all paperwork including all court documents that were required and helpful in understanding what was needed during this legal process. I truly would not have wanted to try and understand the legalities that were before me without him and his staff. I would absolutely recommend making your first consultation appointment with Laz as you will not be disappointed and he will guide you through these legal proceedings in the most professional way. I truly owe them my gratitude and many thanks.
