Sincerely Grateful to Mr. Ortner and Staff for Guidance Through Bankruptcy

After losing everything we owned when the economy tanked, we were pursued by debt collectors and sued. Never having been sued before, we were afraid they would take what little we had left. We were also embarrassed by our predicament and losses that brought us to this. We knew nothing of fil...ing bankruptcy or if it was even the right option for us. Mr. Ortner and his staff were so reassuring and friendly, and I appreciated the informal atmosphere. They let us know we were not alone, and treated us with utmost respect. With a lawsuit hanging over us, our anxiety level was high. We asked a lot of questions, calling and emailing often to discuss our worries. A special "thank you" to Carolyne, Mr. Ortner's Legal Assistant, for her patience and reassurance. He and his staff were knowledgeable, understanding and always respectful. Throughout the process they told us exactly what would happen and what would or wouldn't affect us. All went exactly as explained, within the time period expected, and they were in touch with us during each phase of the process, making sure we knew what was happening, when and where. We were thankful for a payment plan for his very reasonable fee, that was all inclusive. We are very pleased to have found this office, and grateful for their knowledge, integrity, and guidance. We highly recommend Mr. Ortner and his staff.

Highly recommend!

I have recommended Mr. Ortner to at least five other people so far. I was very impressed by him because when I first met with him several years ago he told me that bankruptcy was not a good choice for me at that time, and he was correct. The other people I have referred to him have also been please...d with the advice they were given.

Thank you for a job well done.

Eric did an amazing job getting my daughters speeding ticket reduced so she could go to traffic school. Also, he got the fees reduced. By doing this, our insurance will not be effected.

Made filing for bankruptcy so easy!

My husband and I had the unfortunate need to file for bankruptcy last summer. Eric Ortner took away all the stress and anxiety that we had about the process. He walked us through the procedures and made sure we were listing all of our expenses (including those for pets that we hadn't even thought of).... We were able to keep both of our vehicles and our house. He is the most personable lawyer I have met and had the best rates. I would definitely recommend him to everyone!

ERIC ORTNER ATTY.AT.LAW

MR. ORTNER WAS RECOMMENDED TO US BY A FAMILY MEMBER. HE FIRST EXPLAINED WHAT OUR CASE INVOLVED AND HOW IT WOULD PROBABLY HANDLED. HIS OFICE PROVIDED US WITH ALL THE PROPER PAPERWORK AND ASSISTED US IN FILLING IT OUT. HIS STAFF WAS EXCELLENT IN GUIDING US TO BE SURE THAT WE DID THE PROPER STEPS IN... THE ORDER. NEEDED. THEY HAVE TAKEN ANY WORRY OUT OF WHICH PAPERS TO FILE AND WHEN. I GET A CALL FROM THE LEGAN SECRETARY AND SHE TELLS US EXACTLY WHAT TO DO OR WHERE WE NEED TO GO. WE ARE INDEBITED TO MR ORTNER, BECAUSE OF HIM THIS HAS BEEN A MUCH LESS PAINLESS PROCEDURE THAN WE WERE LED TO BELIEVE.
