About

My law office has been helping thousands of indiviuals for over 28 years from the same location.  Experience and creativity are a must.  I tried one of the largest cases in the Country in 2007.  I took on  the government and won!  The case involved the means test and how it is calculated.  My victory changed the way the means test is calculated to benefit  of all debtors in the United States.  I meet with all of my clients personally.  I have four fantastic paralegals that assist me and we work well as a team, but again, you MEET WITH ME, NOT A PARALEGAL.  I am lifelong Columbus resident and a product of Eastmoor High School, a city school.  I enjoy the face to face contact with all of my clients and I enjoy my work.  I encourage you to google my name to find out even more. There is no fee for the initial consultation and I charge on flat rate, fixed fees so that there are no suprises. For some informational videos about bankruptcy, click here.

He made me feel comfortable from the beginning. I'm so glad a friend suggested him to me. He made the process as easy as possible and I can't thank him enough for his help!

Scott Needleman went above and beyond to help us. We were an incredibly unique case. We did not pass the means test for a Chapter 7, but Scott went to work and made it happen. Another twist to our story, my mother died the day after we filed. Associated with her death were some payable upon death beneficiary accounts. I called Scott he told me they would be the property of the bankruptcy trustee. The typical attorney would just give up at this point. Scott researched and found court cases in which these types of funds were treated like lottery winnings, they get to keep it. Scott presented his research to the trustee who agreed we could keep this large sum of money. Scott’s work for us made us feel like we won the lottery. Every attorney we interviewed immediately stated we had to file chapter 13 and I have no doubt we would have also lost the money my mother intended for us. Scott will work hard for you. He is worth the Money!!!!!!

Scott and his staff were very pleasant to work with. Everyone was very knowledgable and helpful, and my case was handled with great professionalism, and when Scott says he will work directly with you from start to discharge, he means it.

Sorry my review is a year post-discharge. Scott was an amazing lawyer and made a very scary process so easy. I was terrified as I owned a non-operating LLC and had a lot of credit card debt due to bipolar mania and racking up $65,000 in credit card debt. He reassured me throughout the whole process that I would be just fine. He was right! All that worrying for nothing as my Chapter 7 case went perfect from filing all the way to discharge. He also let me make two payments prior to filing since I didn't have it all at once. He ceased all collectors from calling me. If you're looking for a serious, no-BS lawyer who will fight for you and help you keep your property, Scott Needleman is your guy! I am so glad I did not go with any of the heavily advertised bankruptcy mills in Columbus even though they were cheaper. Scott is worth his weight in gold! I was able to keep my home, car, and everything else. I'm now debt-free and stress-free! And this is over a year after filing and 1 year and 1 month post-discharge. Sorry Scott for not writing this sooner! Anyways, stop your search and hire this very experienced and respected bankruptcy attorney. I PROMISE you will not regret it! He has free consultations and I never had to speak with a paralegal or anything. All visits and communication was directly with Scott even though he is busy in court.

Can't say enough good things about Scott and the Needleman Law Office staff. From the very first phone call they have been gracious and just plain awesome. Bankruptcy is a scary thing but 5 minutes after meeting Scott, that's done. He is thorough, current, but he's also relatable. I thought this would be a long, drawn out process but it could not have been easier. Thanks for everything Scott, Juanita and Renee. You guys are amazing and I'm so glad I made the call.

Bankruptcy is a scary proposition for most people. An attorney is needed that can fully explain all your options while making you comfortable making a decision that is right for you. Scott Needleman is that attorney. He is very knowledgeable of the law and was quite helpful in my case that was complicated and extensive. Scott is a professional and handles his business accordingly.

After our chapter 13 closed Scott helped us retain my wife's settlement for personal injuries from a major pharmaceutical company. Definitely a 5 star performance.
