I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Detzky and his paralegal team. This man took me out of a hopeless situation and profoundly changed my life. I strongly urge anyone considering making the call to do so as he will put your mind at ease. He is very knowledgable and up to date on current events as well which is so helpful. I can't thank him enough for what he's done for my family and I.

My bankruptcy is now complete. Mr. Detzky and staff kept me on track. Even when I stumbled a little on the way, Mr. Detzky was there to put me back on my path. He pointed out that understanding my debt would show me that I actually have enough to uphold my obligations, pay off debt and even save a little. Today, my credit score shot up, my bills get paid every month and I am selective about how and where I spend my money, managing things I need while also continuing to pay debt as it comes, not waiting until it piles up. Thank you M. Detzky and staff. Wish I could of learned this earlier but then I wouldn't have met you!

We were in a serious and very time sensitive situation regarding a law suit and debt that lead to the need to seek counsel regarding personal bankruptcy. We searched for a local attorney and reached out to a few before consulting with Mr. Detzky and his team. After meeting with them, they made us feel very comfortable that they could and would handle our case thoroughly and help us in every way that they could. After hiring Mr. Detzky and his team and they began working on our case right away. They treated us with so much care and respect, we really felt like we were in great hands the entire time. Even after our case seemed to take a multitude of twists and turns, Mr Detsky and his team; Odalis and Taylor walked us through every step of the way and made us understand everything that was happening. Our case turned out to be not such an easy one but Mr. Detzky and his team worked so hard for us to make sure we got the absolute best outcome possible. We could easily tell that the whole team really cared about us and how things turned out with our case. When seeking a law professional the experience and professionalism that Mr. Detzky displayed when working with us as clients was unmatched to anything that we could have asked for when hiring an attorney. If we are ever in need of a law professional again or need to recommend one, it would certainly be Mr. Detzky.

Navigating my business through chapter 7 was an emotional and overwhelming task. Mr. Detzky was instrumental in guiding my wife and I through the process effectively and efficiently, and assisting us in avoiding personal bankruptcy. More importantly, he calmed our nerves by reassuring us that we would be ok. We are ok, thank you Mr. Detzky!

MR. Detzky did an amazing job with reassuring me through my chapter 7 process. I had a creditor trying to sue me. Him and his staff are very courteous, and professional. Answer all questions promptly. Will recommend to anyone require this niche of law.
