Jace was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning! Extremely responsive, educated and a huge advocate for us. As first time home buyers we didn’t know what we were doing. Jace and his team answered every question, got us over every hurdle and was always level headed and professional. We couldn’t feel more lucky to have worked together and hopefully will get to use him again.
If you’re looking for someone to have your back, hire Jace and his team !!

From the moment I called the office I was met with care and compassion. Whenever I called my attorney was available to speak with me. Their professionalism was demonstrated to every step of my process. When things started to slow down regarding the case, they were on top of it getting answers. I can’t say enough about how much this firm has helped me through my professional as well as personal development journey. Thank you Cindy for your experience, relentlessness and kindness. Highly recommend.

Moira is an incredibly smart, savvy, knowledgeable and most personable attorney. She not only was my divorce attorney in 2014 and walked me through the whole process with no worries, she was my attorney for my recent property closing. She makes sure you know that she has your back 100% and you have nothing to worry about during the process. She dots every "i" and crosses every "t". I couldn't recommend a better attorney. I can't thank her enough for taking such good care of me the way she did. She goes above and beyond!

We went back and forth, unsure if franchising would be an obtainable goal or not. We researched and found the Internicola Law Firm and loved their model and professionalism. They walked us through every step. They were patient and kind, never making us feel like we were in over our heads. We powered through and just signed our first 2 franchises. We are very grateful to this team that helped us realize a dream. We highly recommend them!

Intelligent, Professional, Practical and Always Ahead of the Game! I retained Jason Roth for a divorce matter. It was a very difficult time for me because my family was struck by a tragedy at the same time and I had no energy to deal with anything else. Mr. Roth was very sympathetic, understanding and very flexible. I liked his candid and straight forward conversation style, he does not hesitate to paint a picture for a client in real colors of life and reality, at the same time he is quick to think outside of the box how to bridge those tough spots with applicable law and right strategy. Any of my calls or emails were always answered within minutes and I felt very secure that I had trustworthy and competent professionals on my side.

Karl and Cassandra were great in helping us deal with our mortgage modification loan. When the lender fouled up and both sent and signed back the wrong paperwork then later claimed that the contract was invalid, threatening a foreclosure, Cassandra was instrumental to getting the lender to understand their faults, was able to stop the foreclosure process and get us back into the modified loan.
During this process there were quick on replying to any of our questions and dealt with the lender quickly and effectively.
Thank you everyone at the Norgaard firm!
Highly recommend, especially if you have been similarly discounted by your lender.

This thank you note is long overdue. This past Christmas holidays while spending one night at home with 2 of my children, I began to recount to them details about my financial journey in the last 5 years.
I recalled probably the darkest moment since the passing of my wife when my house was listed under a foreclosure sheriff sale; and then what appeared to have been like a divine intervention, you approached me offering your legal services to save my house. I remembered during one meeting in your office another customer of yours telling me “Do everything he tells you to do and you’ll be fine” which I found comforting, and as a little light at the end of the tunnel. Today I feel what a piece of sound advice that was, and one that I’d be ready to pay it forward if given the chance. You developed a chapter 13 plan, got it approved by the bankruptcy court, and put it in front of me to execute for 48 consecutive months after filing on 12/30/2019. Your final advise was – keep yourself employed and make your payments every month to the mortgage companies and the trustee. I managed to do that despite some bumps along the way.
Losing my wife to cancer, and with it, losing half of my household income, and then not having a steady job made it hard to keep up with the bills and my house mortgage. I shared this life episode with my children, as I was lucky now to see them making successful strides and forging ahead in their professional careers after completing their university degrees.
I will forever be grateful to the two of you, for giving me the assistance to restructure my finances, and now be able to continue with better footing.
Again, thank you for everything you did for me and my boys! Below is a link to my Instagram which I hope you can open and see pictures of my family, some from back then and some recent ones.
I look forward for the opportunity to taking you both to lunch this coming spring. I’ll be in touch!

I was referred to Robert 6 months ago and was not disappointed. On my initial consolation with Robert, he took the time to clearly explain the Chapter 13 process. He was compassionate, knowledgeable and made me feel that I knew him for years. He makes himself available to handle any questions that you may have. He checks in and remains in contact with you even after case is confirmed. If I could give 10 Stars I would.

Mr. Brumel is not your average lawyer. He is backed with decades of knowledge and experience.
He also knows that bankruptcy is “scary” and complex, so he spends his time explaining and analyzing your options.
His fees are beyond reasonable, his work ethic is impeccable, his office, mainly Jaci is amazing and super responsive.
The free consultation isn’t a quick 5 minute “hire me” pitch, but was rather an in depth dive into my situation and analysis of what could be done.
The efficiency of the service is second to none.
I am thankful and grateful to have chosen Mr. Brumel.

Words simply aren’t enough to describe what I’ve earned in life because of this man. His professionalism, human nature, and decorum are just some of his beautiful attributes he brings to the court room. He assessed and directed my entire approach and was spot on with my expected outcome. Through laying out the facts and showing my credibility Ted fought for mw to have joint custody of my son. No tricks, no gimmicks. Just the law, and his excellent reasoning and approach granted me everything I could have asked for. I have a voice and coachable moments now with my son whom I wasn’t able to with prior to finding Ted.

Darin Pinto is an extremely knowledgeable attorney and was extremely helpful when foreclosure of my home was evident. He lead my wife and I through the process and assisted in reducing our stress level. He was always available to talk and provided a sense of comfort knowing we were in good hands. He has been my attorney for the past thirteen years assisting with other financial issues including bankruptcy. I have always been satisfied with his services and that of his staff. He supports his clients with a can do attitude and brings about the best possible resolution.

My wife and I moved from out-of-state and were connected with Darin through our real estate agent (she gave us a list of 4-5 names). I called a couple of the names on the list and they all seemed great, but I knew Darin was our guy within a minute of talking to him.
I think the main thing I'd underscore about Darin (among many other strengths) is that he just puts you at ease. I won't be trite and say that Darin makes you feel like he's helping a family member, but he comes pretty darn close. The home buying process is extremely stressful -- even if you've done it before -- and we just felt like we didn't have anything to worry about legally in going with Darin.
Besides having such a great demeanor, Darin is extremely knowledgable, responsive, assertive when he has to be, and just overall was a pleasure to work with. I honestly can't recommend Darin more (to the point where I'm taking time on Memorial Day weekend to hopefully help someone else find a great lawyer).

Ed helped me come to terms with it and gave me comfort by assuring me there is life after a bankruptcy and it will pass.

Please do not hesitate to use his services if anyone can you get you out of bankruptcy with no issues it's Ed Vaisman!

One of the best decisions of my life was to have hired the lawyer Vaisman to take my bankruptcy case, he is a person who has shown me that he can be trusted and answered all my questions without hesitation.
I also love the way he takes the case and the follow-up of everything. In addition to all that he knows about the subject, another point that was very important to me is the patience he had to understand me and I say it with respect to the language since Spanish is my first language, he always made sure that we understood each other and not only that, when my case has been resolved, he also made sure to explain and teach us how to raise the credit again.
And not only that in addition to being the best lawyer specialized in this issue, it is also the most economical we have found, since the other lawyers I have contacted charged me twice and did not guarantee me anything since my case was very complex, but not for Mr. Vaisman.
Please know that I don't usually leave reviews but in this case I must do it since this lawyer has earned it.
Thank you very much for your excellent work and service Mr. Vaisman you have definitely earned another loyal customers and will definitely recommend you for now on.
========================================================
Unas de las mejores decisiones de mi vida fue haber contratado al abogado Vaisman para que llevara mi caso de bancarrota, es una persona que me ha demostrado que se puede confiar en el, que cualquier duda que uno tenga el la va a responder sin ningun problema.
Tambien me encanto la manera que llevo el caso y el seguimiento de todo. Ademas de todo lo que el sabe sobre el tema otro punto que me parecio MUY importante es la paciencia que el tuvo para entender a uno y lo digo con respecto al idioma ya que el espanol es mi primer idioma, el siempre se aseguro que nos entendieramos y no solo eso, cuando el caso mio se ha resuelto tambien se aseguro de explicarnos y ensenarnos como volver a subir el credito.
Y no solo eso ademas de ser el mejor abogado especializado en este tema tambien es el mas economico que hemos encontrado, ya que los otros abogados que he contactado me cobraban muchisimo mas y no me garantizaban nada ya que mi caso era muy complejo, pero no para Mr. Vaisman.
Quiero que sepan que no soy de dejar reviews pero en este caso debi hacerlo ya que este abogado se lo ha ganado.
Muchisimas gracias por su excelente trabajo y servicio Mr. Vaisman definitivamente usted se ha ganado otros clientes fieles a usted y por supuesto lo voy a recomendar a usted ahora en adelante.

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.
Top Questions to Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer
Before hiring a bankruptcy lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and knowledge to handle your case effectively. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with bankruptcy cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or Chapter 11 bankruptcy. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee or hourly rate, and ask for a detailed breakdown of costs, including filing fees and additional expenses. -
Which type of bankruptcy is best for me?
Ask the lawyer to explain whether Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or Chapter 11 is the best option based on your financial situation and long-term goals. -
What debts can be discharged?
Ask which of your debts will be forgiven through bankruptcy and which debts (such as certain taxes or student loans) may not be dischargeable. -
How long will the process take?
Bankruptcy cases can take time to resolve, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last, from filing to discharge. -
Will I be able to keep my assets?
Ask if you will be able to keep important assets, such as your home or car, and what exemptions might apply. -
What happens after bankruptcy?
Ask about the impact of bankruptcy on your credit score and what steps you can take to rebuild your credit after the bankruptcy is finalized.
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.
