Michael David Bruckman

I was originally told I did not "qualify" for Chap 7 , so he filed Chap 13, during which time I made payments to a trustee. Almost a year later, he informed me that NOW I qualified for Chap 7, even though none of my circumstances had changed. When I asked him about the money I had paid the trustee, h...e said it would come back to him. Oh, well..... A year after my final discharge, I found, after applying for a car loan, that a judgment entered before my discharge had never been removed , or shown as satisfied,in court records. I made an appt with him and when he checked the judgment, he realized he had not followed thru and said he would do so at his own expense. That was almost 4 years ago...I have called since and was told my file was on his desk. It must have been there as something amusing because it still has not been resolved as far as I know. How professional is THAT?

Unfortunately, I got behind on my bills and I had to do what no one wants to do and that is to file bankruptcy. I met with Mr. Bruckman and he filed for me right away, to save my car from getting repoed. He explained everything in detail. Even after the case was done and paid for and I thought he was... not really considered my Lawyer anymore...he continued to helped me with my case and didn't charge any more money (most do). I read the reviews on here and I can't believe they are talking about the same lawyer. Don't always read and assume the worst or the best for that matter. He offers a free consultation, so go see for yourself.

When my case first started, he told me I did not qualify for Ch. 7, I would have to do a Ch. 13. So for a year, I made payments to trustee. All of a sudden, I WAS qualified for a Ch. 7, with no changes in my situation whatsoever. When he was asked where that money was to go, he replied, "Back to me."... Not only that, once my debts were discharged (more than a YEAR after the case was filed), he did not have a judgment that had been filed by one of the creditors removed from official records.Almost 5 years later, it is still affecting my ability to get a loan. His office told me 6 months ago that he was working on it that day. TODAY? Still there, no action, no response. What a waste of money.
