Mr. Berliner was very professional and he did not make me feel uncomfortable. When I met him he did rush rush me. He was very thorough going over my case.
Jed is an excellent attorney. He effortlessly guide my wife and I through a very difficult time with the best outcome possible. With Jed, you definitely get your money's worth! And with that, you get his stellar reputation within the local court system. When he speaks, people listen and do not question what he says. He makes the bankruptcy almost seem easy. Thank you, Jed, for helping my wife and I through a very low point in our lives and not making us feel bad about it!
I would like to preface by saying this was a difficult situation altogether. I did not know what to expect. I read reviews online and found Mr. Berliner to have a lot of recommendations and many people trusted him. After consulting with Mr. Berliner, I knew I had to hire him to help with my situation. Mr. Berliner made me feel comfortable and was great at explaining the process. The way he handles the entire situation is great. Very easy. Very detailed. I highly recommend Mr. Berliner! People make mistakes, please don't be afraid to consult with Mr. Berliner! I am glad I hired him.
My wife and I tried so many ways to avoid bankruptcy including a credit counseling service. No longer able to work (I've been disabled with pancreatic cancer for the past nearly 5 years) our financial dilemma had us in a tail spin. When we finally so Jed's ad in a local paper and called him we were on our way to a better life. During our first meeting he assured us we were doing the right thing and he and his assistant, Trina, treated us with respect, dignity and compassion. Unable to pay his fee in it's entirety we opted for a monthly plan. We began our journey with bankruptcy in March. Jed and his team began working for us right away and almost immediately those dreaded creditor phone calls stopped. Trina called us when she needed us to research info that she needed and was always there to promptly answer any questions we had. Our meeting with the court took place in early Sept. about a month after Jed filed on our behalf. He was with us at this meeting and we were absolved of our debts. We received our final papers in early November. Jed and his team were life savers to us. We feel like a great weight has been lifted from our shoulders. Their approach to us never waivered during the course of the journey. We were always treated with that same dignity, compassion and respect that we felt during that first meeting. When you are going through a stressful time like this it's comforting to know their are people who don't just treat you like a number. We would highly recommend Berliner Law to anyone who not only, unfortunately, needs to file bankruptcy but also peace of mind...........
Both Jed and Meghan were great to work with. Knowledgeable and friendly, easy to work with and made the whole process move along quickly. If you did your part there was no delay. I would defenately recommend them to anyone who needed their services. Thanks again for all your help!
