Every single day, I tell large corporations with more money then I will ever see for the rest of my days that they have no power and can't hurt my client.

Its really great. I actually see my clients' lives improve. You don't always get to see the fruit of your efforts as an attorney.

This is why i give lots of free advice, I spend time on the phone and why I help people regularly even though I won't get paid.

Give me a call and ask me some questions or look for my responses here on AVVO or at my websites:

For the past several months I've been trying to navigate my financial problems on my own. I started to feel a bit overwhelmed...thinking that I'm in over my head...and muddied the waters too much for me to continue to handle on my own....so I decided to start interviewing Attorney's to help me. I chose to reach out to Anerio because of his AVVO reviews. I contacted him via email to take advantage the free consultation, and he responded to my request very quickly, and got me in for an appointment the following afternoon. When I met with Anerio I found him to be a down to earth cool guy...not only did he listen to my problem... he spent a generous amount of time with me... he reviewed everything that I've already done thus far...and to my surprise he told me that he DOESN'T think that I need his help!... and then he provided me with an outline of what I should do....and then if that doesn't work out, we should talk more. He didn't have to do that!... and this small gesture shows that he is an extremely an ethical person, loves helping people....and is the type of person and Attorney that everyone wants to work with. I am going to heed his advice, and will reach out to him again should I need him....and I recommend that you if you're looking for help resolving your financial issues....you should at least meet with Anerio, and take comfort in knowing that if he doesn't think you need his help, he'll tell you. Thanks Anerio...you're consult and advice really helped!

It's a hard decision to file for bankruptcy. First of all Aneiro Altman helped us get emotional moments. He was there for us with all the information we requested and made this process simple and quick. In 4 1/2 months we were discharged. We appreciate everything he has done for us and we want to assure him that he has our recommendation! Thank you!

Making a decision to file was one of the hardest legal matters my wife and I had ever done. After our first consultation, Mr. Altman was able to set us at ease. Each step of the way became easier and our comfort level increased. I did my part and presented Mr. Altman with all the information he needed. After that he took over and we just waited for his further instruction. Mr. Altman took all the stress out of this legal matter. My wife and I appreciate all that he has done for us.

Anerio kept his cool and the Chapter 13 process on track to successful completion. He always responded to my concerns and status update requests even off business hours, evenings, weekends and holidays. He patiently explained the significance of each stage of the process and what to expect and what to do. Highly recommended!

Anerio is an exceptional attorney. I've had the privilege of working with him, on the business litigation end of a case, and it is truly a pleasure to collaborate with Anerio. He is very intelligent, has an amazing grasp of complex laws relating to bankruptcy, yet is able to clearly and concisely explain them to someone like myself, who does not know this area of the law at all. He is always willing to take the time to share his insights. Anerio is a truly outstanding individual and I endorse him highly!
