Client Reviews
“Michael Schwartz was knowledgeable about my particular situation. He made very constructive recommendations. A very important fact is that his staff is well trained, courteous and available. No question was considered ‘irrelevant’ or a nuisance. This was a ‘first experience with Bankruptcy,’ and I did feel a degree of ‘financial failure.’ However, both Michael Schwartz and, especially Amy, his paralegal, were especially supportive.”– Anne, a Chapter 7 client
