I can't really say much as she might take a vendetta against me. Horrendous experience for years. 0 compassion

Stella was excellent in the BK process of mine from the start till the end. She is very knowledgeable & hands down the best BK lawyer in town. She is prompt with her responses & also very personable. All aspects of my BK procedure went very smoothly. I recommend her to anyone that is looking for a great bankruptcy attorney.

At the start of the pandemic, my business was forced to close and my mother was simultaneously diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease which left me no choice but to file for bankruptcy. My accountant referred Stella stating she had a very calming demeanor and he was confident she would be a positive spirit to help me through the difficult times I was going through. From the first phone call, I was CRAZY ABOUT HER!!!
Stella worked diligently on my case; she left no stone unturned and in my personal opinion (I've never filed bankruptcy before) she went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure I was treated fairly. She took the stress away due to calls from creditors by absorbing all negative communication on my behalf; accepted documents at all times of the night or day and was there for me during a couple of tearful days when I just felt overwhelmed dealing with the bankruptcy, business failure, and my mom's medical diagnosis.
One significant thing I want to mention - there was a lien on my property and out of nowhere, Stella remembered and filed a motion to make sure it was addressed before the charge off which saved me from possibly paying a company nearly 30K!!! I still don't know how she remembered such an isolated detail but thank God She Did!!!
When my bankruptcy was charged off, I was actually sad because that meant I wasn't going to hear from Stella again....but I still email her monthly just to stay in touch because at the end of the day, she gave me a fresh financial start and I owe my new clean financial status to her!
If you need a bankruptcy attorney who is smart, professional, well organized, compassionate, and just a great person - I HIGHLY recommend hiring Stella Havkin. She's the BEST!!!

Stella is AMAZING! She very successfully completed a Chapter 13 Filing for me recently and I HIGHLY recommend her for anyone considering Bankruptcy 7 or 13. She is always very responsive and on top of everything. The bankruptcy process can be complicated and confusing and she always makes sure to explain everything in great detail so you are able to follow the process. She is HONEST and CARING and deserves 10 Stars! I will definitely be using Stella Havkin again for my future Estate Planning needs. I'm very pleased with such wonderful service!

Stella Havkin is hands down the best BK lawyer in town. She is very knowledgeable in the bankruptcy field and her experience is worth more than a gold mine. My case was a very complicated one, it had so many twists and turns, with so many obstacles on the way leading me to high stress levels, but Stella was able to every time clear all obstacles and resolve every single problem.
Stella was always engaged in my situation and very accessible. I was always able to quickly get answers to any of my questions or concerns. Stella communicates very well and always had a solution and put me at ease every time I had a concern. Dear Stella Havkin, Thank you for everything you have done for me and my family! I recommend Stella to friends and family!

Stella Havkin is simply an amazing lawyer. I have known her for years and have assisted me and family members with our financial situations. I have witnessed first hand more than 1x the brilliance, work ethic and heart of this amazing person. She has helped me both in personal and business needs and truly appreciate her professionalism, knowledge, experience and heart. She has proved to me over and over again the blessing she has been to my situation/s. I've never met anyone with such an amazing work ethic and willingness to go above to assist me in such difficulties. She is very honest and provided me guidance, counseling and have made the process as little as terrifying as possible. She has 100% have your best interests and will continue to do so even after. I've reached out to her even after my case and she has always been so gracious with her time and energy. She truly is a blessing to anyone in need of her services. I can't be anymore pleased and continue to be amazed by her drive to help her clients. After a few years from my case, I needed her assistance again and she is on point with my previous case and new case. Just brilliant! I suggest you look no further! In a situation that you simply can't afford another mistake. Stella is the one you want behind you. As she will be with all she's got!

Stella is a very knowledgeable and persistent Attorney who will have your best interest in mind no matter how difficult or lengthy a problem is. She is a gem and communicates regularly with you to put you at ease no matter how busy she is. When she sets expectations, she delivers on them...good lawyers are hard to find these days...we were fortunate to have found her. My son even substituted his chapter 13 lawyer over to Stella as he was pleased with the results me and my wife were given by Mrs. Havkin. My entire family is very thankful for Stella's help as she has helped us get a fresh start again!

Ms. Havkin was very knowledgable, communicative and responsive at all phases of our negotiations. She was able to resolve our case for 8% of the original debtors preference period settlement demand. We would highly recommend her and commend her professionalism and experience.
