Life-Saver

Mike and Ro saved my life. I was frozen in fear with what I knew was going to be a challenging Chapter 7 case and, in turn, waited so long that multiple creditors were suing me. I was referred to Mike and he walked me through the entire process while educating my wife and I about the pros and cons... of each decision we had to make. In the end, we ended up in a better situation— both personally and financially than we could have ever fathomed. Highly recommended to anyone afraid to pull the trigger on bankruptcy.

Excellent Bankruptcy Lawyer!

Mike Nicastro handled my Chapter 7 case and was successfully discharged. He is a very experienced and skillful bankruptcy lawyer. What I appreciated most though was that he was very approachable and promptly returned calls when I had any problems or concerns. He helped me successfully get me through ...what can be a difficult and intimidating legal process. He and his staff answered all questions clearly and concisely. I was treated with the utmost respect and he will always remain in my thoughts in a most kindly manner. I highly recommend him as an attorney who will put himself out to help in whatever way he can. Best wishes to Mike and his team!

SIMPLY ONE OF THE BEST

I was referred to Mike by another attorney and consider myself very lucky to have found him. He was professional and very knowledgeable. More importantly, I could tell he truly cared about helping me achieve the best outcome. He and his staff were very attentive and quick to return phone calls and... answer questions. Filing for Bankruptcy can be intimidating and overwhelming, Mike made it easy. He not only met my expectations but exceeded them by far.

The Best! Helpful, Respectful, Professional

Mike is the most amazing Lawyer! The first day I walked into his office, I was sad, embarrassed and fearful of what was to come. We attempted to get consulted by other attorneys, who without even meeting us or looking at our info said we wouldn't qualify to file. Mike was referred to us (it says some...thing when all his business comes from referral) and everything about his process was different. He is patient, attentive and listens to you. He is methodical, he carefully reviews every detail and then begins the process of educating you. He helps you understand what needs to be done, he helps you plan for your future and empowers you to look at the bankruptcy process differently. We just received our discharge letter, we have our fresh start and are better off now than 1 year ago. For any new client that might be considering Mike, go with the intention to learn and listen to every piece of advice he gives you. It is genuine and comes from a place of wanting to help.
