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!!!!!!!!!

Responsive and Respectful

We wanted an attorney who focused on bankruptcy so we chose Neil Schwartz at our first meeting. He responded to all my follow up email questions and disclosed all fees upfront when we needed added services, nothing was hidden and no surprises. It was reassuring with his presence in court , and he did...n’t close our case until I was completely reassured. I would highly recommend Neil Schwartz if you are facing a bankruptcy situation.

The best in Kern county

If you need a good lawyer get Neil Swartz. I had a judgment that was included in my bankruptcy. When the bankruptcy closed my old lawyer never file the avoidance of lien for that judgment. MR. Schwartz handled the whole situation. Thank you for Your knowledge and expertise.

Top-rated Expert in BK

I highly recommend Neil for anyone considering bankruptcy. From our initial consultation, to discussion of options to the final court hearing and then discharge, it made all the difference having his knowledge and support throughout the process. Bankruptcy was an extremely difficult and emotional d...ecision for me. Although I had accomplished so much professionally, it came at price that led me to financial failure. This reality struck me harder than I anticipated. I initially felt like I had failed on all fronts. However, Neil helped me emotionally process my situation. Believe me, this part of your bankruptcy will exist and should not be underestimated, as all of your assets and financial decisions will be displayed and evaluated. Neil helped me understand how common bankruptcy truly was and that many successful people have to go through it at times. He helped me understand this was the appropriate option for me and he was there to walk me though it. I value there was never a point where I felt scrutinized for financial decisions that may have demonstrated poor judgment. Instead, he simply evaluated the damage and helped me create a plan to regain financial success. He patiently educated me on expectations and outcome possibilities. Through discussion of numbers and laws he connected me with the right option and accurately forecasted a timeline. I greatly valued his patience, consistency, knowledge and quick response times above all. He was always available by email, text or phone and I felt that my case was the most important case. Neil is the right choice for anyone considering bankruptcy, an expert in this field, he has exactly what it takes to takes lessen the difficulty of your circumstance. He will create the success you deserve just as he did in my experience. I will gladly provide any further feedback to anyone if specific questions arise.

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.
