First off, it is completely hard to make a decision to file Bankruptcy. Not only is it embarrassing and shameful but also makes feel like a complete failure. But when you are struggling financially you need to work with an expert lawyer like Eric Nyberg to help guild you through every step in filing BK. From the beginning of filing BK, Eric made you feel comfortable and not judged because this happens to a lot of good people. Eric and his team were very knowledgeable and helpful until my file was complete/ closed. I highly recommend Eric to anyone who is going through hard times from job loss, medical expenses, credit card debt or a divorce. Eric is an expert lawyer in Bankruptcy cases.
Great guy answered all of my questions and made this complex problem in to a process that I could understand. I would highly recommend him and him and law firm

I’m pleased to review Mr. Nyberg, we hired his firm Kornfield early in 2022 to help us manage and file and the Chapter 11 process for our company. From the start, we very much enjoyed working with Eric and his team. No one looks forward to navigating bankruptcy but Eric made the process effortless and has been a pleasure to work with. I have always found him to be available and to have a good grasp of the issues at hand. I specially find it refreshing that he is able to combine a business sense with a thorough understanding of the law.
We are now well into the case, look forward to exiting bankruptcy a few months from now, I will write a follow up review at the end of the process but to date I’m very impressed with his performance in and out of the courtroom.
Highly recommend Eric and his firm.

I was not wrong in choosing Eric Nyberg to handle my bankruptcy application. He and Nancy made everything easy for me. If ever someone will ask for a recommendation, I would not hesitate referring that person to Eric Nyberg. Thanks a lot, Eric and Nancy.

Mr. Nyberg has done a tremendous job in representing us in a stressful situation. His office is organized, efficient and did a great job explaining the process to us and following through. I would highly recommend him to anyone else.

Excellent help and guidance
I’m very thankful I used Eric Nyberg as my lawyer. He assured me at every step, and helped me make the best decisions for my complicated case. There were times when I felt anxious, and Eric was always reassuring. He was quick to answer my calls and emails. I am also thankful to the paralegal, Nancy, who also was kind, patient, and encouraging! I would definitely recommend Eric Nyberg to anyone looking for bankruptcy help.

Mr. Nyberg is an excellent attorney
For the last 15 years, my family and I have been under constant attack from frivolous litigations by Demas Yan, aka Dennis Yan, a disbarred lawyer and a vexatious litigant. This law firm is the best firm I have ever used, and I am so fortunate that I had them defend me. They saved my life.

He gave me the run down on the process and how my situation will be handled. I ended up choosing another lawyer but Eric was a great help on introducing me to bankruptcy.

A Lawyer That Makes Bankruptcy Easy
I worked with Eric and Nancy Kornfield for my recent bankruptcy and felt they were extremely professional. They handled all of my questions with respect and speed. They were very clear about how the process would go which gave me a sense of peace and safety. Overall, I felt taken care of during the entire process, especially with the court date and all of the ins and outs.
I would highly recommend, Eric and Nancy Kornfield if you are considering a bankruptcy.

Thank you
I would like to thank Eric Nyberg, the corporation was facing very difficult decisions, I was tasked with finding a “Bankruptcy” lawyer 2 people who I trusted recommended Attorney Eric Nyberg, I remember our first meeting, it started very professionally, he explained what bankruptcy is and the different options. He asked questions and gathered information of the status of the corporation. It was obvious that he was an expert in his field. Personally I think his best quality was understanding the human side for those involved in the bankruptcy process, not necessarily telling you what you what you might want to hear but guiding us to make the best decisions. He and his staff were always available to our questions. We are grateful for his and staff representation.
Sincerely,
Marcus

Knowledgeable, kind, and sincerely cares about his clients
Eric Nyberg and his team successfully navigated through and resolved a complicated corporate bankruptcy. He worked closely with my personal and business attorneys to help bring a global resolution to my situation. Eric invested one on one time with me- he is a great listener and has equally great suggestions. He is as smart and professional as it gets, but not intimidating to sit down across from.
