Once I had made the decision to file for bankruptcy, I found the process of finding the right lawyer to be frightening and overwhelming, but once I sat down with Neil at the initial consultation, he immediately helped me feel at ease. He took his time explaining the entire process, what to expect before, during and after filing, the types of filings that were the best options for me as well as his experience and qualifications. He patiently listened to all of my concerns and answered all my questions. I am grateful to have retained his and his partner Kamini's services. They were always available and took the extra step to check in and make sure I understood everything throughout each step. They are an extremely kind and knowledgeable team.

When I torn about what to do with my credit card debt I googled for a bankruptcy attorney and came across Neil Ackerman's name. I guess Google liked me that day because I hit the jackpot. Mr. Ackerman's firm took the time to explain to me all options and did not force me into anyone. They were with me every step of the way and even after my bankruptcy was discharged. If you are in need to determine the best avenue to go down, I would highly suggest contacting Neil Ackerman and have them get you though one of the toughest times of your lives. I couldn't be happier today!

I found myself in a difficult situation and knew I needed an attorney. After speaking to a number of attorneys, some for a reference and others as a possible hire I selected Neil Ackerman. He was not the cheapest, but he was worth every penny. He was always there for me even after my paying days were over. He kept me calm and offered great advice even when it was not up to him to do that. I highly recommend Neil Ackerman if you want a responsive, extremely capable attorney in your time of need.

Before you hire a lawyer to represent you in a case there are 4 things I look for while interviewing the lawyer, YES I said interview the lawyer. If you don't do this before you retain the lawyer you could get the surprise of your life. Don't leave your case up to a crap shoot! I implore you to dedicated to doing discovery on your lawyer, don't take anyone's word, do it yourself. Interview the BEST 3 Lawyers you can find then pick the one which you feel gutterally and professionally has the horse power to carry your case through to the end without losing your shirt or your mind. 1. Technical know how of your specific type of case. Experience pays here big time and it will pay you dividends all the way until the end of your life if your case is big enough. Treat the decision to hire the best seriously. 2. Make sure you can communicate well and that the lawyer receives you well, if not you may feel like a dead fish swimming upstream. 3. Make sure the lawyer will be personally involved the majority of the time and not pass your case to someone else to do the work. Yes, ask him or her exploratory, inquisitive questions and get the answers you will be glad you did. 4. Lastly, understand by questioning the potential lawyer what they feel the case will look like, the type of challenges you may face, the estimated cost ( possibly by month) and what information you will need to provide to them. Then go home and do your on-lilne homework, read reviews on the lawyer, ask others in the industry, but do the research. These 4 points will be helpful and I applied them and ultimately hired Neil Ackerman whom I was glad I spent the extra time with to understand his capabilities, approach and ultimately his method to handling things. Neil Ackerman is an excellent attorney with more than 32 years as a lawyer who knows the in's, the out's, the up's and downs of Bankruptcy Law. He is technically astute in a wide array of complicated law as it applies to an individual, a married couple or corporation. He genuinely has his clients best interest in mind always and is available for what seems to be "always on call' which is key to moving through a more than difficult situation. His ethics are beyond reproach and he will always make his clients aware when the situation is up to the line but he won't push it beyond into a dangerous or needless scenario due to ego. Always, like a tracking system he has his mind and actions on what will get his clients across the finish line based on the feedback you give him. He protects his clients as if a big brother, one which no doubt navigates and negotiates the seemingly impossible cliffhanger of a situation into a surmountable solution in which he guide’s you together to overcome. The legal system is desperate for more lawyers with the ‘s attributes he exerts steadfastness, truth and credibility. He has a life time of book and “in the ring experience” which is invaluable to clients and moves them through the impending gauntlet which a creditor or plaintiff can hurl at the defenses doorstep. Neil has earned more than three decades in the courtroom in “hand to hand legal combat” which clients feel a calming comfort that while life is not perfect, you made the perfect choice by drafting Neil Ackerman onto your team. You won't regret it.

I would recommend Neil Ackerman for your bankruptcy issues.

If you are contemplating filing or have filed for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, look no further than Neil Ackerman. Neil was so knowledgeable on every aspect of filing for bankruptcy. From our first consultation and throughout the entire process, Neil Ackerman and his staff, completely prepared us, explained in simple terms every possibility, and was extremely patient with our endless questions. He certainly made one of the most difficult and distressing times in our lives, more bearable comforting. As a former trustee for many years, his expertise and confidence in the entire process made all the difference. We highly recommend Neil Ackerman to anyone facing bankruptcy. We walked away with an attorney we can count on and trust, and a friend.
