Our family is in sincere gratitude of Mr. Albin and his team. After much consideration, we made the hard decision to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. He was continuously straightforward and trustworthy. We never once felt alone in any of the process. Mr. Albin and team were patient and kind, knowing that bankruptcy is more than a business matter. It's personal on so many levels. His expertise and guidance were just what we needed. We were able to reset ourselves and our lives due to taking the step to file. It's been less than two years, but our credit has done a complete 180 and jumped several hundred points. We are on our way to purchasing a home and getting to where we always wanted to be. Taking the leap gave us back some of our livelihood and we are truly thankful we had him by our side throughout the duration. I'd highly and wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Albin.

As the General Counsel of a mid-size business, we are always looking for true expertise, and great value. We have hired Seth on several matters, and we could not be happier with the outcome. His legal skills are top notch, but what sets him apart is his responsiveness and attention to the client relationship. I would not hesitate to recommend Seth.

I would highly recommend Seth for representation. He is approachable, a good listener, and very thorough. Seth takes the time to collaborate with you to come up with a satisfactory solution. Anyone looking to consult/hire a stand-up attorney that knows the law, Seth Albin is top notch.

I had just been through a divorce and was left with a lot of debt that I could not afford. After deciding that filing for bankruptcy was my best option I was overwhelmed and scared, but Seth was able to make the whole process easy. With a kind smile and great sense of humor he helped me feel so much better, and the whole situation became much less intimidating. Seth answered all my questions, he was patient and understanding, and I would highly recommend his services.

I have used Seth for both business and personal matters over the course of several years. I have found him to be incredibly diligent and thoughtful. While the personal matters were resolved very quickly, the business matter involved 8+ months of case law research and constant communication. He has been prompt and responsive setting and meeting clear deadlines. Seth is very easy to work with, and handled each matter with professionalism and care. He has found creative solutions to complex questions, and offered relevant and honest advice. When I contacted him with a criminal matter outside his wheelhouse, he quickly offered a referral and followed up to confirm that I was satisfied. I would recommend Seth, and should I need legal advice in the future, Seth will be my first call.
