It is with such great pleasure that I write this recommendation for Virginia E. Fortunato, affectionately known as Ginny. When I first embarked on the search for someone to help me resolve my financial distress, I knew the undertaking would be complex and quite daunting. I also knew there would be many obstacles to overcome. I truly believe that, without Ginny's fortitude and impressive knowledge of her field, I would not have achieved the smooth outcome that ensued. Ginny is the consummate professional. I am so appreciative of her innate abilities of listening, tireless problem-solving, and ever-positive attitude. She understood my individual predicament, clearly explained all issues and kept me involved as each step moved forward. I was always treated like I was her only client. Over the many years she has been doing this, Ginny has developed wonderful contacts and working relations with other professionals in connected fields. She avails her cases with their expertise and knowledge to provide the optimal results for her clients. Ginny is an outstanding bankruptcy attorney who rises head and shoulders above the rest in her profession. I am grateful to her and amazed at the positive impact she achieves on a daily basis. Ginny truly is a blessing and you'd be most fortunate to have her as your champion! My particular case had its share of craziness. Anyone else would have thrown in the towel long ago. So take a deep breath and relax. You are in great hands!

I never thought that I'd do the unthinkable but because of the Covid19 I was given no other choice. Had to find someone whom I can trust, professional and honest. Atty Ginny Fortunato was a god sent. Aside from the 3 things I was looking and expecting from an attorney, she's beyond compassionate and I felt that she's trying harder to resolve my case, very detailed oriented and the price for such amazing service cant be beat. Now I am starting fresh and would never look back. Thank you for Ginny for pulling me out of the blackhole!!! You're awesome!!!

Ms. Fortunato was extremely knowledgeable, organized, and well-prepared when handling my case. I knew what to expect at every turn. She made one of the worst moments of my life very bearable and easy to get through.

Virginia (Ginny) Fortunato was a beacon of hope to my family at the time when our options seemed very limited. From the onset Ginny allayed my fear and anxieties by her caring professionalism and precise knowledge of what it would take to put my life back together through a Ch 13 Bankruptcy. Ginny was always on top of what the court required and kept me meticulously accountable to what was required of me. Instead of dealing with thousands of dollars to different creditors I had to only deal with making one payment the trustee who was assigned to me by the court. After two and a half years of continuous scheduled payment, this Covd-19 pandemic hit my family harder than ever and put me in a financial hardship once again. Ginny advised me that based on my changed circumstances I was eligible to convert my case from a Ch13 to a Ch7 despite having another two and a half years of Ch13 payment plan left. Ginny once again successfully executed the transaction and got me back on my feet again. Although the house income is not much and my family is still facing many issues but "the peace of mind" that I have now is priceless and I thank Ginny so much for everything she did throughout the years of her legal guidance. Whoever is in financial problems, I suggest you take a few minutes and call her. Ginny will guide you and show you a light at the end of the dark tunnel. It does not cost you any and that’s How I started my case with Ginny. God bless you Ginny and whoever read this (Whatever It Is This Will Shall Pass!) Thank you again Ginny!!!

Ginny truly is one of a kind and the full package deal. She is experienced, reliable, professional, compassionate, honest, and a genuinely caring person. I knew from the moment I started working with Ginny (since 2008) that this would be the best thing for me to do. Ginny was able to explain everything I needed to know in detail, and was very professional about the whole situation. If I was ever doubtful or unsure of anything, Ginny was there to patiently ease my concerns. She was successfully able to save my family’s house and life when the stock market crashed in 2008. She cleared a large amount of unsettled debts from various factors such as credit cards, allowing me to start my life over again. Recently, she helped me save my house. I truly believe what she’s done from the beginning and to now is amazing, and no other attorney could have done the same thing. She is friendly, goes above and beyond during these cases, and made this process entirely seamless. Additionally, Ginny was incredibly flexible and planned out different scenarios, their outcomes, and how they could affect me. Whenever we met or discussed a situation, it seemed as though I wasn't talking to an attorney, but rather a family member and a close friend. If you are ever in need of legal advice or assistance, I highly recommend Ms. Fortunato. I wish her all the best in life for her and her family and more success to come.

Ginny is TOP NOTCH!! Seriously. Hire her. She is the ideal attorney to handle your bankruptcy case. I made the decision to declare bankruptcy; Ginny took care of the rest. She is compassionate, professional, and highly knowledgeable. I always felt heard, understood and valued as a client. I would be remiss not to mention what a great communicator Ginny is; she answered all of my questions and was always prompt in returning my calls/emails. Once I provided her with the required documentation she went to work. I finally felt at ease. Knowing someone that you can trust has your back is absolutely PRICELESS. I was confident that she would work diligently to resolve my case. My debt was discharged and I got a fresh start. I monitored my credit and noticed after a few months it slowly started to increase. I have since re-established credit and now maintain a credit score in the low to mid 700’s. Let Ginny take the burden off your shoulders so you can put your financial disaster behind you. The sooner you schedule an appointment with Ginny, the sooner you’ll be able to breathe again. Ginny, THANK YOU!!!!

The decision of having to file for Bankruptcy is something that I wrestled with because of all the stigmas that I heard of the years. When I finally came to the decision that it may be an option and began my search for an attorney, I came across Virginia Fortunato and I am very happy I did. From the first consultation I had with her she put my mind at ease and walked me through every part of the process. I started my process right as the pandemic started and in all honesty my anxiety went up because I had no idea how I was going to get through it. Even through the entire quarantine she called me, told me everything I had to do, was available to answer any and all questions, and worked in the most professional and timely manner I have ever experienced. I appreciate everything she has done for me and if you find yourself in need of an attorney you can rely on, I would choose Virginia. Thanks again for everything.
