The idea of filing for bankruptcy was overwhelming for me, a successful business owner and a financially responsible person. Admitting that bankruptcy was my only way out of the financial corner I was painted in was the first hurdle for me to get beyond, but finding the right lawyer to represent me was my next task. Fortunately, I was referred to Charles Schneider by my financial advisor who knew of his excellent track record through another client. From my first encounter with his office, I was impressed with their detailed processes that helped me gather all the right information for the trustees...this part of the process could have otherwise been an insurmountable task! Then, I was extremely impressed with Charles' underestanding of the bankruptcy laws to the extent that I felt certain that my best interests were always at the forefront. I am so grateful that I found an attorney that I could put my trust in...And I'm happy to report that Charles Schneider has surpassed all of my expectations.
I had the pleasure to work with Mr. Schneider about 5 yrs ago and again now. He helped me thru my 1st bankruptcy and now the second. I had no idea what to expect , but they kept me informed and answered all my questions. Mr. Schneider is the most experienced and knowledgeable lawyer I have ever met. If you have to file call this attorney first!
I filed a Chapter 13 with Charlie in January of 2019. I was young, overwhelmed, and terrified but after my first appointment, I truly felt like things could get better for the first time in years. Charlie is extremely knowledgeable, and very importantly, knows exactly how to explain each step in a way that is easy for anyone to understand. He was very thorough when assessing my situation so we could figure out the absolute best course of action for me to take. Whenever I was there for an appointment, it felt almost like he had nothing else to worry about that day. However long it took to get through what we needed to was how long it took, never felt even a little bit rushed. He is very professional, but one of the absolute most important things to me is that he is also able to maintain a more easy-going demeanor. From almost the first minute I met him, that alone made me feel a huge sense of relief, even without knowing what we were going to come up with as far as my plan. Two years later, I still feel that relief, and it’s absolutely wonderful. Thank you Charlie!!
I have used Charlie 3 times over the years , after my divorce and the recession and lost of employment. Charlie walked me through with kind and compassion care like your best friend or best family member. I recommend Charlie to anyone who wants to be treated with respect in a high stressfull time in your life, he seems to see your sorrow and will be cheerful to set the mood with professionalism and just enough laughter to ease the stress
Charles Schneider is a true lifesaver. I came under hostile attack by someone attempting to harm my medical practice. Mr. Schneider’s proficient understanding of the law & legal system make him an incredible tactician. He successfully guided my business through an incredible legal storm and is nothing less than an outstanding. And if that wasn’t enough, the interactions with the professionals running the office were fantastic. I thank them for their efficient and kind attention. Many people only like to complain… I want to compliment; Charles Schneider is the best!
I called Attorney Schneider to ask a question regarding my Bankruptcy case. I did not fully understand the Bankruptcy process and needed help. Attorney Schneider took the time to explain in detail the specifics of my case! I truly appreciate all of his help!
Mr. Schneider made BK very easy. The whole process went very smooth !! I highly recommend him to anyone who needs to file for BK.
Charlie and his team is thee ABSOLUTE BEST! I was extremely scared and had no prior knowledge concerning bankruptcy and the staff made me feel so comfortable and answered all my questions. My employment wages were being garnished and I was in the process of being evicted and Charlie and his staff got me 90 days worth of my garnished income back and prevented my eviction. I am so grateful for this firm. PLEASE give them a call if you are in need of filing bankruptcy. I PROMISE YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!! Thanks again to Charlie and his wonderful firm...
I have been dealing with this law firm for over 2 years and can't express my gratitiude for the professional office staff, the associate attorneys, and most of all to Charles, for his knowledable handling of my situation. Hats off to a law firm that treats you as an individual instead of a client!
In 2015 I found myself on a hard spot and was thinking about filing for bankruptcy. I called serveral lawyers and met with a lawyer in Livonia. After looking everything over the lawyer said I had no choice but to file chapter 13. Then I met with Charles. He looked everything over and was able to file for chapter 7. He staff was great and they prepared me for everything. When I went to court I noticed how a lot of lawyers did not prepare their clients for court at all. I even saw the lawyer I met with from Livonia and his client was having a diffecult time. Do yourself a favor and meet with Charles.
