My husband & I had to go through the unpleasantness of filing for bankrupcy. The silver lining was finding Carolyn Krohn of the Nager Law Group. She was an expert in the law & also sympathetic to the ordeal we were going through. Most importantly, she recommended the best course of action for us to take, even when it was not advantageous to her financially. She is one in a million & there is no attorney you could find that will care for your interest more than Carolyn. My highest recommendation.

Alan Solomon, ESQ represented me during a challenging estate settlement in the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia. From start to finish, his expertise and dedication proved to be remarkable. The estate had numerous complications, but Alan tackled each one with precision. His thoroughness ensured no detail was overlooked, and his problem-solving skills were invaluable in reaching a resolution acceptable to all parties. He could always be relied upon to answer all communications promptly and accurately. In summary, if in need of an estate attorney who combines legal expertise, responsiveness and genuine care, Alan Solomon has my strongest recommendation. He simplified a difficult process, and I’m grateful for his exceptional service.

If you have the opportunity to work with Wayne Clark, take it. Please take the time to read this review. My wife and I were recently forced into bankruptcy and we were also wrongfully accused of committing a fraud in a business deal that led to our bankruptcy. The plaintiffs sued knowing that we did not have the financial resources to defend ourselves. Their reason for such an action is irrelevant here. I was forced to try and defend us without a lawyer. Our case was complicated; I went weekly to the free legal clinics at the law library in Annapolis and attempted to educate myself in the subtleties of the legal systems. The task was daunting. During that time I talked many attorneys to get help, but we could not afford their services. I met Wayne at the free legal clinic at the bankruptcy court in Baltimore. He gave me a lot of helpful advice and went back to perusing our case. A few months later I again visited the legal clinic and fortunately for me; I once again met Wayne. I asked if he could guide me in preparing my case. I wrote a few motions and I asked Wayne to review them. He not only did he review my work; he assumed control of writing the motions I was seeking. He interviewed me and reviewed our documentation at length and he believed in me and our case. He knew that the plaintiffs did not have a creditable case; as he instructed me proving it is a different matter. He took on this case with an energy and commitment that astounded me. Although he had other cases, he still made me feel as if our case was always at the top of his mind. He seemed to work day and night, he would call me at night, on weekends and during holidays. He pushed me hard to produce the documents that he knew we would need for the case. As anyone can imagine this case was a very emotional and stressful ride for both my wife and I. Wayne was very good at taking the emotional anger out of the discussion and more importantly he was never afraid to tell me how it was and to take me task. When we finally got to court, it was obvious that the plaintiff's case was without merit and they agreed to settle out of court by dropping the case. Without Wayne's help, I would have lost the case even though the plaintiff's case was without merit. If you have the chance to work with Wayne, take comfort in knowing that you dealing with someone who will give you honesty, integrity and commitment. There are not enough words to describe our gratitude for having Wayne assist my wife and I with our case. If you have the chance to work with Wayne, Take it!!!

Hello I just want to say I called the Civil hotline for free attorney advice. Mr. Wayne Clark picked up and after I explained my situation as far as all of the loan modifications that I have been doing with my bank and their denials. I also explained to him that in a panic state one night, I hired an attorney off a commerical and paid him almost $3,000 to help with a loan modification that was denied. Not knowing that the attorney had possibly done something wrong Mr Clark advised me what I needed to do to get my money back from that attorney. Mr. Clark also advised me in approx 1 hour what I was fearing all along. See I had been fighting to save my home for almost 2 years, thinking I could. He asked me questions and evaluated my salary the home loan as well as the value of my home. In doing that he gave me an assessment of why the bank probably kept dening my loan modification and he made me realize that unless my income increased substantially like ASAP that my chances of saving the home was not great, that was the honesty do I need it. All I did the past two years was kept fighting and the amount of my past due balance increasing, and the bank was letting it happen. The bank has given me unrealistic expectations based on my salary and the likelihood that I would be able to catch up on the past due balance. For the first time in 2 years I was hit with the best reality check that I needed. I went to my church and prayed with my pastor and then contacted a realtor who basically advise me of the same thing. I did exactly what Mr. Clark told me to do and contacted the attorney, told him to give me my money back within one week and if he did not the steps that I was going to take in getting the money back. That attorney panicked to my surprise and did not fight me. I had my money within 4 days honestly, I could not believe it, I thought that money was lost and gone and thrown down the drain. I'm now prepared to move forward and start again. I'm so thankful to Attorney Clark because basically my funds were gone and he helped me get my money back free of charge with his advice. I truly feel he was a God sent and I would refer him to anyone anytime and any day. Thanks again Attorney Clark for all your help, bless you.

My husband and I were faced with bankruptcy due to a failed business deal. We were being sued by my husband's partners and had NO WHERE to turn. Our original attorney had been disbarred and we didn't have any more money to hire someone else. We met Wayne through the legal services offered in Baltimore and he GRACIOUSLY agreed to represent us!!!!! He worked diligently from September through to March when we had our trial. He was able to negotiate a settlement of our case. Wayne is compassionate, detailed and very hardworking. He was able to explain options in language that we could understand. We were SAVED by Wayne and his expertise

My chapter 13 Bankruptcy is difficult missed payments, job changes, spouse passing. I was all over the place and depressed. I didn't know how to take Doug laid back calm approach to all the events I thought he was gonna fire me! Yet he helped me through it all. Highly recommend his service

My wife and I had a very atypical CH7 case with multiple properties and other complications that, at first glance, made it look like our case wouldn't pass the presumption of abuse test. In fact, it failed when we used the supplied calculator. So going in I thought we might have to file a CH13. Doug reviewed our situation and felt confident we could file a successful CH7. He expertly navigated the issues and helped us throughout the process, including amending the paperwork more than once as the case evolved, due to a very picky Trustee. Ultimately we received our CH7 discharge and did not have to pay anything to the Trustee. We were as thrilled as two bankrupt people could be! My advice: Be prepared. Help Doug help you. Have all of your financial information together, including how much is owed to which creditor, your assets, etc. and put your income and expenses in writing (we used a spreadsheet -- like I said, complicated case).

08 Sep, 2015 by Keith

Douglas Gorius helped me in a very difficult time. Doug's knowledge of the laws coupled with his personality and compassion for those he helps was what gave me and my family the peace of mind we finally needed. Doug took over our case at the request of the courts since our previous attorney disappeared without any notice. Doug happen to be in court the day we were scheduled for a very difficult hearing in our case. We had no representation and no contact from the attorney we had hired. Doug was in court that day for his other clients, he was known not only by the judge, but by the trustee and many within the court room. Doug saw how distraught we were and when asked by the judge, he accepted the responsibility to represent us going forward. It is hard to explain what a relief it was to have Doug on our side. Doug met with us soon after that court appearance, he quickly came up to speed with our case which was almost 4 years old and in no time had our minds at ease, all of the proper paperwork filed on our behalf and walked us through the steps to ensure our case made it through to the final discharge. Doug's knowledge of the law's pertaining to bankruptcy, his knowledge of the trustees and the court system make him one of the best in his field, in our opinion. Add to that his ability to relate to everyone and explain complex matters in such a way that you can understand them makes working with Doug very easy, even during a difficult time in your life. I recommend Douglas Gorius without hesitation or reservation. If I ever need legal guidance Douglas will be my first call.

Title: Exceptional Consultation Experience with Attorney John Burns I recently had the opportunity to consult with Attorney John Burns and I am compelled to share my experience. While I have not yet hired him for legal representation, the consultation alone left a lasting impression. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt at ease due to Mr. Burns' welcoming demeanor and his genuine interest in my concerns. Unlike many other lawyers, he took the time to understand not only the legal aspects of my situation but also my personal goals, talents, and aspirations. This personalized approach was refreshing, especially in an industry where clients often feel reduced to mere cases. Mr. Burns' advice and encouragement were incredibly inspiring. He was the first attorney who didn't just focus on the problems at hand, but instead, he saw potential solutions and opportunities. I am real person feel free to contact me to verify my experience text only 4437221929. I had a bad attorney in the past therefore I understand checking references.

I am writing this review to inform those who are looking for a qualified, dependable, and professional law firm to perform legal matters on your account, look no more. I contacted, consulted with and hired them to represent me (and boy did they), Six months later my case was confirmed and I had a financial plan that was necessary to place my life back on track. Their professionalism , in depth knowledge, and will-do aptitude was just what I needed at this junction of my life. I would highly recommend this law firm to all.

My wife and I retained the services of John Burns after an issue arose in our bankruptcy case that our original attorney was unable to resolve. From the onset, Mr. Burns knew the correct action to take to bring an acceptable resolution to the matter. Once a resolution was achieved, we thought our issues were over. Unfortunately, the creditor in the prior matter failed to take the proper action on their side which led us to retaining the services of John Burns again. Mr. Burns and his firm worked diligently to ensure our rights as debtors were protected and that the creditor would be held responsible for their neglectful actions. Though it was a long process, we are happy with the results and can now put this behind us and get on with our lives. His experience and the experience of his associate (Melissa) was invaluable to us and we thank them. Although stressful, Mr. Burns was able to get a positive outcome for us in this matter. I would highly recommend John Burns and his firm!

I would recommend him to my family and friends for any cases that they might have. He is my go to attorney. Great Attorney. Thank you Mr Boyd for representing me. Greatly appreciate it

Attorney Boyd was everything I could ask for in a lawyer with the most reasonable price I could find. He is a good man, has plenty of experience, knows the courts, was fair and understanding with me, and got me the best custody, and divorce agreement I could ask for. He put my ex wife's high price Bethesda lawyer, and her parent's lawyers to shame, and charged me a fraction of the cost. Not only did he do my legal work - but I think he could have also charged me for therapy sessions. He was the voice of calm and reason during the most stressful time in my life. As good it gets in the world of legal

Larry was excellent to work with, very thorough and provided guidance throughout my bankruptcy from the initial filing through discharge. My case was unique as I had a relatively high income. Larry fully explained how he was planning to approach the case and also made me fully aware of potential issues - In the end there were none! I am glad that I choose Larry to represent me.

Hass is amazing, he really helped us resolve issues that have been pending for years. After two entities and a law firm, we found Hass through a referral. He managed to take care of the tax debt down to 20% of what was owed. Very professional and responsive. Thanks!

The attorney Mr. Bashir was very professional. He handled our partnership documents when another partner was leaving our practice, and we were inducting another member in our company. He also handled our new office lease issue with the landlord much better and advantageous than we had previously. I would recommend Mr. Bashir based on my experience with the corporate matters. He was referred by another partner who was represented by another attorney in his Firm.

He represented me in the civil suit for damages. He was settled the matter exactly as I had requested. He is aggressive and did his due diligence. Would recommend to anyone!

Mr. Carter was excellent from the first phone call of inquiry to the very last email. I recommend him for all of your Bankruptcy needs. He was willing to explain the process in detail. He answered all my questions in a timely manner. Every inquiry was responded to within a 24hr period. The process was very smooth and he was there all the way. I was never treated like a number but more like a cherished client. Mr. Carter is a man of great talent, patience and understanding. He will take care of you better than most lawyers in Baltimore City. I interviewed alot of them before I selected Mr. Carter. They all wanted money and didn't have much time, but Mr. Carter wanted to help me and he understood where I was in my life. You will not be disappointed I promise you that.

Attorney Carter was presented with a unique case because of my son's medical condition. He was compassionate, patient and understanding; explaining every page and form for my son's Chapter 7 Bankruptcy case. A very knowledgeable attorney. YOU WILL NOT GO WRONG HAVING SHAWN CARTER AS YOU ATTORNEY.

Shawn Carter assisted me with filing Bankruptcy. This was a very scary, difficult, and emotional time for me. Shawn was very patient, professional and knowledgeable. He educated me on my rights and options. Shawn made me feel as if I was his only client. He answered every call, even if he was in court, to answer my question, and would assure me a call back to follow up. Shawn Carter is the BEST!! He is also very personable. Not only is he my Attorney, he is now also a friend. He will call just to see how me and my family are doing. It gets no better than that. I recommend Shawn to all that I may come in contact with who may benefit from his stellar 5 star services.

She also has dedicated an extensive amount of time providing legal service Pro bono to the church. I am very grateful for the Law office of Alexandra Monroy and the excellent work she offers all her clients. She is very passionate and dedicated to help each person.

When we took our case to Alexandra she was the fourth lawyer we had seen but the first one to say that our case was feasible. Thanks to her we were able to get our hardship case approved. It took us about two years to complete, and she honestly warned us up front that this would take a long time and be costly. She made no guarantees and was quite ethical. She assisted us through the entire process, step by step. We did everything we could for our part, and she built up our case for us. She is very professional and highly skilled, and her rate is reasonable. We referred other people to Alexandra and they too were able to get their cases approved. We are extremely satisfied with her services and we will definitely come back to her if anything comes up in the future.

After consulting and hiring 3 immigrations lawyers to help me with my husbands case we were exhausted, had little money left and were ready to give up. It was almost 3 years and were still fighting his case.. I was given Ms. Monroy's contact information by someone at our church. Ms. Monroy was very professional in and out of court and always kept us informed. She didn't take no for an answer and pushed until she found a way to help us. She even worked with us when it came to the money part since I was a single mother caring for my kids on my own. She has many years of experience and is the best in the business. My husband is now home thanks to her and her great work. I have since then recommended her to many family and friends. She is now filing our paperwork for citizenship. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great and reliable immigration attorney.

Ron Schwartz is a lawyer's lawyer. He doesn't have fancy offices or expensive prices just an amazing knowledge of the law. I am a lawyer and when I don't know to whom I should refer a client, Ron is the most frequent choice because he only takes cases he is equipped to handle and charges fair prices.

07 Mar, 2017 by Tony

Our Son had two Title IX Complaints filed against him with the University of Maryland from another Student. As a Family we disagreed with the Complaint. We hired Ron and he assisted our family and represented us in the proceedings against him by the UMD Conduct Offices. The Charges filed were of a serious nature and could have lead to an expulsion from the College and would negatively effect his academic and professional career for his future. Ron planned and prepared a defense for us, prepared and filed several documents, and represented our Son in each of the investigations and hearings. His knowledge and additional interpretation of the Student Code of Conduct assisted us in having all of the charges dropped and it was determined there were no violations. We had felt our Son was treated unfairly in the investigation. Ron's diligence and pursuit of this matter along with his interpretation of the Student Conduct Rules resulted in a favorable outcome on our behalf. I would recommend Ron for any Legal Matters involved with the University of Maryland and other Legal issues needed to be resolved. His Expertise and Experience in Legal Matters provides an edge. My Family is forever grateful for his Services.

Mr.Schwartz is truly a great lawyer who knows his way around the system. If you run into legal trouble give him a call he has got your back.

What a Bankruptcy Lawyer Can Do for You

A bankruptcy lawyer specializes in helping individuals and businesses manage overwhelming debt by filing for bankruptcy or exploring alternatives to bankruptcy. They guide clients through the complex legal process of discharging or restructuring debts, represent them in court, and work to protect assets such as homes and cars. Bankruptcy lawyers can also help stop creditor harassment, wage garnishment, and foreclosures through bankruptcy protections.

If you're facing financial hardship, a bankruptcy lawyer can help you decide whether filing for bankruptcy is the right option and assist you through the legal process.

When Should I Hire a Bankruptcy Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a bankruptcy lawyer in the following situations:

Unmanageable debt: If you're unable to pay your bills and debts are piling up, a lawyer can help you explore options such as Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
Foreclosure or repossession: If your home is at risk of foreclosure or your vehicle is in danger of being repossessed, a bankruptcy lawyer can help you use bankruptcy protections to prevent this and potentially reorganize your debts.
Wage garnishment: If your wages are being garnished, filing for bankruptcy can stop garnishments and allow you to regain control of your finances.
Creditor harassment: If creditors are constantly calling or sending collection notices, a bankruptcy lawyer can stop these actions by filing for bankruptcy, which enacts an automatic stay that halts collection activities.
Small business debt: If your business is struggling with debt and cannot meet financial obligations, a lawyer can help you file for Chapter 11 (reorganization) or Chapter 7 (liquidation) bankruptcy.
Medical debt or credit card debt: If you have large amounts of unsecured debt like medical bills or credit card balances, a bankruptcy lawyer can help you seek relief through Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Hiring a bankruptcy lawyer early in the process can prevent further financial damage and help you choose the best legal option for debt relief.

What Does a Bankruptcy Lawyer Do?

A bankruptcy lawyer provides a range of services to help individuals and businesses handle their debts. Their responsibilities often include:

Evaluating your financial situation: Assessing your income, assets, debts, and expenses to determine if bankruptcy is the right option and which type of bankruptcy (Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or Chapter 11) best suits your situation.
Filing bankruptcy petitions: Preparing and filing the necessary documents to initiate your bankruptcy case, ensuring that all legal requirements are met.
Stopping creditor harassment: Once the bankruptcy case is filed, an automatic stay is enacted, which stops creditors from pursuing collection efforts. A lawyer ensures this protection is applied immediately.
Representing you in court: Representing you in court proceedings, including meetings with creditors and any hearings related to your case.
Negotiating with creditors: In Chapter 13 or Chapter 11 bankruptcies, negotiating a repayment plan that restructures your debts and allows you to manage payments more effectively.
Advising on asset protection: Guiding you on how to protect certain assets, such as your home or retirement savings, through available bankruptcy exemptions.
Explaining the impact on your credit: Informing you about how bankruptcy will affect your credit and advising on steps to rebuild your credit post-bankruptcy.

How Are Bankruptcy Lawyers Paid?

Bankruptcy lawyers typically charge for their services in different ways depending on the complexity of the case and the type of bankruptcy being filed. Common payment structures include:

Flat fee: Many bankruptcy lawyers charge a flat fee for handling Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases. This fee usually covers the entire process, from preparing and filing paperwork to representing you in court.
Hourly rate: For more complex cases, such as Chapter 11 bankruptcy (often used by businesses), some lawyers charge an hourly rate. Hourly rates typically range from $150 to $500 or more.
Retainer: In cases where ongoing legal services are required, such as in Chapter 11 bankruptcies or complex Chapter 13 cases, a lawyer may request a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as the lawyer works on the case.

It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer upfront, as bankruptcy law requires lawyers to disclose all fees and ensure they are reasonable and fair.

How Much Does a Bankruptcy Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a bankruptcy lawyer varies depending on the type of bankruptcy and the complexity of the case. General cost estimates include:

Chapter 7 bankruptcy: For individuals, legal fees usually range from $1,000 to $3,500. This flat fee generally covers the entire process.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy: For individuals filing Chapter 13, legal fees typically range from $2,500 to $6,000. This cost is higher because of the additional work required to create and manage the repayment plan.
Chapter 11 bankruptcy (for businesses): Chapter 11 bankruptcy is more complex and usually more expensive, with legal fees ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the size of the business and the complexity of the debt restructuring.
Filing fees: In addition to legal fees, there are also court filing fees, which are $338 for Chapter 7 and $313 for Chapter 13 as of 2024.

Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand what services are included and whether payment plans are available.

How to Check the Credibility of a Bankruptcy Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable bankruptcy lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and track record:

Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
Look for bankruptcy experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in bankruptcy law and have successfully handled cases like yours.
Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and ability to handle bankruptcy cases.
Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on bankruptcy matters.
Check for certifications or memberships: Look for lawyers who are members of organizations such as the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA) or who have specialized bankruptcy law certifications.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a bankruptcy lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

List of debts: Prepare a detailed list of all your debts, including credit cards, personal loans, medical bills, and any secured debts such as mortgages or car loans.
Income and expense records: Bring documents that show your current income, such as pay stubs or tax returns, and a list of your monthly expenses, including rent, utilities, and other essential costs.
Asset information: Provide information on any assets you own, such as your home, car, investments, or other valuable property.
Credit reports: If possible, bring copies of your credit reports to give the lawyer a clear view of your financial situation.
Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions you have about the bankruptcy process, the lawyer’s fees, and what to expect after filing for bankruptcy.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your needs.
