Professional, prompt and patient

Having never gone throught chapter filing before I was concerned about everything. Mr. Schwartz was so direct and thorough I was immediately reassured. Mr. Schwartz went above and beyond and was extremely patient with all of my questions and promptly answered my many emails. This process was made as... stress free as possible by his professional, prompt and patient and personal persona. I was educated and enlightened and Mr. Schwartz was responsible for that and I am totally grateful.

Best choice!

Mr. Schwartz and his team provided a caring environment. He was accessible, ready to answer questions and provide reassurance to ease my uncertainty. If you want the best, I highly recommend Mr. Schwartz!

Confident and with peace of mind. The right decision.

I am a young working professional with great student debt, a few poor financial decisions, and now post divorce trying to rebuild everything. I have the capacity for a successful future but I have NOT made it yet. Struggling to survive, barely covering all my credit cards and student loans, I finally... made 1 financial move that pushed me over my financial abilities. Feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders I sought Neil's counsel. Immediately felt relieved about my options. Why didn't I come here sooner? He helped me relax and understand this was all manageable. We discussed options and I left with much to think about. From that consultation, I knew he was the attorney for me. He allowed me to pay what I could that day without adding to my further stresses. He also told me what I should and shouldn't worry about going forward. His response times were incredible, immediate and made me feel like I was his top priority. He gave me his personal cell number and email. I felt I had access to a wealth of legal knowledge and counsel at my fingertips at all moments, anytime of day or evening. This was extremely helpful especially as financial threats from a 3rd party came in through phone calls and texts. I’m moving through this stressful time, however I have great peace, knowing I’m in the best of hands. His experience and expertise are evidenced through his counsel as we move forward. I am confident I made the right decision for myself and I strongly recommend Neil Schwartz for anyone else faced with seemingly impossible financial situations like mine.

Such a Great experience

I was so nervous going in to file bankruptcy, and so embarrassed that I was there, but Niel and Valerie, were so nice, helpful, and joked with us to make us feel at home with it. He was very upfront about everything, which made the experience so much more than just a bankruptcy. They also answered an...y of my questions, wvwn the "stupid" ones. I'm so grateful that we were able to have them as our Bankruptcy team

Thank You Neil For Giving Me A Fresh Start!!

If you are like me, you are probably terrified of having to contact a bankruptcy lawyer. This was the last thing I ever wanted to do. Unfortunately, I was at a point where I didn't have much choice. I had worked very hard early on in life to build credit and keep everything in good standing. Sadl...y, life threw some curve balls and I could no longer keep up. I was drowning and stressed beyond belief. I made the terrifying decision of filing bankrupty. After careful consideration and research, I called Neil's office for a consultation. I arrived feeling very anxious and extremely nervous. However, I walked out feeling relieved and hopeful. Neil told me exactly how it was. Not only was he honest and straight forward, but he showed true compassion with handling my case. I just recently had my hearing and I'm currently waiting for my discharge letter to arrive. Everything went exactly as Neil told me it would and what a relief. Thanks to Neil and his staff I can start over with a clean slate and start to rebuild. If you are even thinking about bankruptcy as an option, this is the only phone call you need to make.
