Thank you

Starla made this bankruptcy process very painless and very quick. My family and I are very thankful. We now have a second chance to start a new beginning.

"VERY CARING EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE DEDICATED TO HER CLIENTS!

I started looking on the computer and googled "Best Bankruptcy Attorneys in Baltimore" and the first one that came up was Starla Hudachek's name and I read the reviews and decided to give her a call. She answered the phone that was the first best impression. The next would be her listening to me and... answering my questions and treating me with respect and kindness. She spent time on the phone with me letting me know my options and how to proceed with filing for bankruptcy. Starla told me up front what the fees would be if I decided to retain her to represent me. I made an appointment to meet with her to continue the consultation at her office. I brought all the information she told me to bring to start the process. We sat together and she took her time and asked me the questions and she filled out the forms needed for the case. She is dedicated to her clients while most attorneys would have you take the forms home for the client to fill out. This meant a lot to me while you are already nervous and you want to make sure you fill out everything you need and don't forget anything. Starla made you feel comfortable. After we were done with the consultation I told her I would like to retain her but I didn't have the funds yet. I made arrangements to bring the payment to her without any pressure. The bottom line is she is very caring takes her time when talking to you and returns your calls when needed. I would highly recommend her to my family friends and whoever reads this. Thank you Starla!

The Best Bankruptcy Attorney in Town

After reviewing dozens and dozens of bankruptcy attorneys on the web and checking their references, I finally found the perfect one, Starla Hudachek! She helped my mom through a very difficult time in her life. My mom is 75-years old and never dreamed she would be in this predicament. We could not... have chosen a more PERFECT attorney! Starla is extremely knowledgeable in her field and helped my mom understand this entire process. What a wonderful human being and what an outstanding attorney! We highly recommend Starla's services to anyone! Thank you so very much for everything you have done!

Very professional and Awesome!

A co- worker of mine referred Ms. Hudacheck and from the moment I contacted her, she was a great help with assisting my husband and I with our chapter 7 bankruptcy. I love that when I emailed/called her she responded in a timely manner. I was a little nervous when we went to meet the trustee, but she... had instructed us from beginning to the end, which made the process quick and easier. We have recommended her services to family and friends. Thanks!

Extremely Knowledgeable & Professional

I was referred to Starla by friend. I was at my wits end, drowning in debt after being laid off. Starla was accessible and caring. From our very first meeting I felt comfortable with Starla. She walked me through the entire process. Starla gave me the information I need to feel comfortable with t...he decision to file bankruptcy. Starla helped me get back on track to be able to care for my family.
