The best Bankruptcy attorney in Bakersfield

I hated to have to file bankruptcy. It seemed like it would super complicated and stressful. Neil had clients that recommended him, and I am so grateful that I went to him. He made me feel at ease through the entire process, prepared me for every step of the way. He was always available for every li...ttle question I had. Nobody wants to file bankruptcy, but I will say that if forced into this situation, there is no one I would trust more than Neil. He went above and beyond… and I am so relieved not to have this stress on my shoulders now.

Patient and Polite

I put my father in contact with Neil. I have known Neil for several years and know of people who have successfully used his services for their Bankruptcies, therefore I knew my father would be in great hands. I was on the 2 or 3 consultation calls with both my father and Neil. Neil was so patient wit...h my father who is in his 80's and went over his options clearly and concisely. My father walked away with a clear picture and frankly Neil could have been hired by my father however Neil thought it would be in my dads best interest not to file. Neil is an honest and thoughtful attorney who looks out for his clients best interests.

Best lawyer ever

I used his services twice. I never had a bad feeling and I was always assured that everything would be ok. And it was. Do yourself a favor and call Neil for help with bankruptcy

Gave me my life back

Unlike other "reviewers", I didn't have to search far....I was referred by a friend who had recently filed bk to get her life back on track. Neil took me under his wing an explained everything to me so that it was understandable. Filing bk is NEVER an easy decision but Neil made me comfortable with t...he whole situation. He was very caring and compassionate and that meant the world to me. He's reliable and ALWAYS responded "direct" to me via email & phone calls. If you're looking for a bk lawyer that cares, don't look any further...Neil's your man!!!!!!!!!

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.
