Just a note to thank “you” and your staff for the professional manner you have handled my Chapter 13 case.

Attorney Santos was very king to me and worked with me at the Chicago office.

Attorney Clar was most professional over the telephone and in her correspondence.

There were a few problems trying to get my automobile back, but Lisa worked with me very patiently and professionally.

Thanks for taking my case.  I believe G-d led me to you.

Yours truly,

Rev. A. Godfrey

Thank you very much for representing me during my bankruptcy ordeal.  Your staff, from the receptionist to your associates in law were extraordinary.  I highly recommend you to anyone who needs council and again, appreciate your assistance and outstanding expertise!

Hi, I want to thank you for the Dunkin Donuts gift card.  There was no paper survey in the envelope.  However, I am e-mailing mine.  I had a great experience with your firm.  Everyone was very nice and if you had a question their was always an attorney on hand to answer quickly & promptly.  This is a very degrading time in my life and I have lost everything.  I really appreciated the advice on what to do with my bankruptcy i.e. my car and helped me with the important decision I had to make.  Al tough it was extremely tough decision it was the right one.  I want to thank all of you for not having a tone or passing judgment on me.  I have never had to file for bankruptcy before and this was extremely stressful.  I would recommend your firm to other people.

Thank you,

K. Pierce

Peotone, Illinois

IT WAS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

I just wanted to wish you and your staff a very happy 2006 and may more.

 I also wanted to thank you and your staff for the care and concern you had for me and my husband and children during the very difficult time we had during are bankruptcy and foreclosure.

We thank you from the bottom of our heart for you, kindness, professionalism, expertise in this area and law.

May G-d continue to bless you, your staff and business for your help and wonderful service you provide.  I will always remember how you helped and recommend you to anyone.

Thank you,

M. & H. Robinson

Thanks very much for taking care of my bankruptcy case.

I will refer anyone that needs help to you.

Then counseling class was very helpful. 

Again, thanks very much.  I will never again get in trouble with debt like that again I learned a good lesson.

I wanted to take a moment and thank you for the smooth handling of my bankruptcy.

For someone who has never had any legal dealings as such it is a very intimidating process.  It is a painful thing to consider bankruptcy and wonder how you will be judged someday down the line.  Many people, like myself, went through unexpected hard times over the last few years.  Losing your primary source of income after 10, 20, 30 years of service to a company and finding yourself in a market that is not hiring or just selective hiring at best can leave you frantic.  As I look back now I see how foolish I was in wasting my savings just to stay afloat with creditors, that in the end were not willing to negotiate a payment plan or understand that the reasons for late or non-payments were out of your control.  I'm sure many people made the same mistake as I in trying to satisfy their greed just to avoid the inevitable.

I apologize for the delay in this letter to you, but unfortunately, other matters in my life had to take priority and I wanted to give your letter my full attention.  I must first comment that I found my first meeting with you and all other interactions with your office very pleasant.  I'm sure you agree that this is the most important factor in getting the ball rolling.

Your book was the icing on the cake, as in reading it, the “average Joe” can understand what the process is and what is expected of them.  It also gives a reassurance that you are not alone in this situation along with the other options to explore.  I recommend anyone in a financial situation to read your book for a complete understanding.  I have shared your book with several contacts of mine and have only received positive feedback.

I have referred two acquaintances of mine, M. Tomaszkiewicz (whom I believe at this time is already in the process with your office) and R. Tuckey, and hope they will receive the same satisfaction I experienced.

Sincerely,

R. Lawrence

This letter is to thank you for your advise that have been a great help for a fresh start, also for being patient in answering my questions.  I will recommend your service without reserve.

Respectfully,

This letter was sent to you in response to your letter sent to me dated November 2, 2010 regarding my Chapter 7 bankruptcy case.  My experience as a client in your law firm was great and I would recommend other people for your legal services.  On the first day I went to your office Attorney Meredith M. McHugh provided outstanding customer service.  My assigned attorney, Attorney Michelle B. Santos performed an excellent job handling my bankruptcy matter.  To make a long story short, I valued your law firm's excellent customer service and making me feel confident that I had a team of attorneys working on my bankruptcy caseÉallowing me to be productive at work and not being harassed by creditors and their telephone calls.  Thank you for giving me a gift card for Duncan Donuts.  Please thank Attorney McHugh and Santos for their help.  Thank you for hiring excellent staff.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you and all the members of your courteous staff for the professional services rendered on my Chapter 7 bankruptcy case.  I appreciate you educating me on how to get a fresh start and how to be more fiscally responsible on handling my assets and unsecured debt.

Thank-you for assisting me in the process of reducing my harassing phone calls from bill collectors, threatening repossession and garnishment notices, and potential lawsuits.  Rest assured you would be highly recommended to others who may cross my path in need of your services.

Sincerely,

Just a quick note to let you know how pleased I am, with the services of your law firm.  Attorney Charles Shepard handled my case and he is truly a G-d send!  He advised me, not to reaffirm my house debt and he was so right!  Even with bankruptcy, I cannot afford this place.  His experience and expertise, gave him such wisdom.

When non-attorneys, with their here say, had me terrified, he calmed my fears with his knowledge.  If he was not there, your other attorneys answered my questions.  You are the best and I thank G-d for leading me to you.  If any one needs the services you provide, I will highly recommend you.

Thanks again,

W. Jones

Evergreen Park, Illinois

Just a brief note of thanks for my Chapter 7 Discharge Order confirmation and for helping me close a difficult chapter in my life.  Never in my life did I imagine that I would find myself here, however, your team of legal professionals showed me that a new beginning is always possible.

A special thanks to Vipul A Desai from your firm in guiding me through the Bankruptcy process and keeping me informed of the procedure.  He always displayed a great deal of compassion, empathy and always a high-level of professionalism.

I was very pleased with the way my bankruptcy case was handled.

I wish to thank Mr. Stanton the first time I met with him, he set my mind at ease with what was going to happen.  After talking with him, it was wonderful I was able to file personal bankruptcy, and not have my wife involved.

It is a great feeling to have my case discharged.  The worries and the stress of money are gone about my bills.

I am not the richest guy in the world, but a lot richer then I was before.  Thanking you and your staff for all the efforts.

Sincerely,

R. Harris

Lindenhurst, Illinois

It is with great pleasure that I extend my deepest and most sincere thanks to you and your associates, as well as your courteous staff for all the hard work and help provided to me in 2009whild going through the long and anxious trial of a personal bankruptcy.  For the superb guidance and excellent representation through every step of the way, I cannot be more satisfied with the way it all unfolded.  A special thanks to your staff attorneys, Chris and Charles for their personal involvement in my case.  I enjoyed working with them.

Mr. Siegel, you are a great lawyer in this field!! – may G-d bless you always for your sincere efforts to help people going through this type of legal proceeding.  It takes a special talent and dedication to write such a wonderfully detailed book as yours to help with understanding this process and provide support while getting through it all.  I greatly admire your skills and the desire you have to help your clients succeed and come out in a hopeful frame of mind about a “fresh start.”

Please forgive my not getting this letter to you in a timely fashion, but I have had a lot of adverse personal issues to deal with since the beginning of the year, so a lot of things have interfered with my good intentions of getting it done sooner.  However, I still wanted you and your associates to have an “official” personal thank-you from me as a reminder of how much I truly appreciated a job so well done that lead me to such a happy ending!  I can honestly say the “peace of mind” I now have over my personal finances should add years to my life.

Best wishes to you, your associates and staff in your continued hard work to provide the best representation of its kind to all those you are currently working with, as well as those who will need your services in the future.  If I ever have the opportunity to recommend your firm to someone in need of your specialty, I will certainly give them your name!

Sincere Regards,

I would like to say that I am, was very pleased with the services that everyone had provided for me at David M. Siegel & Associates.  First off I would like to say that the youtube videos, the website of David M. Siegel and the book was extremely helpful in informing me of bankruptcy, aided in deciding to file and a good resource during the process of filing.  The relief of having a second chance at life is beyond any words that I can express.

Thank you,

David Lee

Recently I obtained your law firms services to file for bankruptcy.  Of course I was nervous about it, but everyone in your office, every time I called with a question, was very helpful and made me feel less anxious.  I just want to thank you all so much for your help and expertise.  I am so relieved that its all behind me, thank to you.  A friend of mine recommended you to me, and I would to the same to anyone needing legal help.

Thank you again,

Thank you for helping me through the most difficult financial crisis in my life.

The economy had derailed my business, devastated my investments, devalued my real estate and made it impossible to obtain additional financing.

I was out of options and didn't know what to do next.  I had never had any kind of financial complications before.  I was terrified by the possibility of filing Bankruptcy and knew nothing of the necessary mechanics.

Thank heaven for your advice and counsel.  Shortly after I had seen a television interview with you regarding this subject, I contacted your office.  You met with me personally and helped me review my situation and explained my options to me.

I was reluctant to proceed with a Chapter 7 filing but it was by far my best option.  Not only did you successfully initiate and execute this filing, you made this extremely stressful and difficult situation easier for me and my family.

As busy as you were, you were always available to explain anything I didn't understand and reassured me when I needed reassurance the most.

Thanks to you and your staff, I have a fresh start and can move toward building a much brighter future.

I will most certainly recommend you to anyone I know who is in need of excellent counsel and advice in any area of law that you and your firm practice.

Thank you again for all of your help and personal concern.

Kindest regards and sincerely,

Ron K.

I have received my discharge letter this week.  I would like to relate how glad I am to have this burden of debt permanently removed.  I would also like to thank all the members of your staff for always being available to answer the questions of a grump, frightened old man, no matter how small or irrelevant.  Thanks for assuring me over and over that everything would go well at my hearing.  I can now be financially responsible and live within my means.  My financial future is brighter, thanks to you.

Best regards,

R. Glowinski

We would like to thank you for all your help throughout our Chapter 7 bankruptcy process.

We had considered filing for about a year and then the lawsuits from the credit card companies began to arrive and we knew we had no choice but to proceed.

Your team made the process painless and fast.  Due to the lawsuit we had to take action immediately and the attorneys were amazing and efficient.  We filed in November, our creditor meeting was in December and we received our discharge letter in March.

We are still struggling and are hopeful things will turn around soon.  At least now there is one less burden to worry about.

I would highly recommend your office and law services to anyone that is in need.

Thank you for all your help during a very difficult time,

N. & T. Casey

Plainfield, Illinois

I would like to thank you very much for the service that I received from your attorneys.  I was very much please and when I call the promptness of the returning phone call was great.  If I have friends or family I will be sure to give them your number.

Thanks again,

C. Moore

Thank you for making this very difficult time in my life just a bit easier and more acceptable. 

Every time I called I was reassured and made to feel that everything would be all right.

Bankruptcy was very hard for me to even think about, and yet it turned out to be the only way I could continue on.

I want to thank everyone at this office and hopefully with the classes that were offered, and my four years of consolidation, and then finally bankruptcy, I will be able to maintain a lifestyle that does not ever over whelm me again.

Sincerely,

J. Projansky

Grayslake, Illinois

I would like to take this time to personally thank you and your staff for the professional service.

I feel so much better knowing that I don't have the heavy load on my shoulders.  I miss my American express card more than any of my credit cards.  However, I look at how my life and spending has improved already.  I feel like I don't have all the stress any more.  In these days we are living in, every day becomes more and more challenging.

I can still recall going into your office downtown Chicago, on an early Saturday morning and being greeted by all pleasant faces.

I have also watched your fantastic interview on television.  You come across so real and regal.  Thanks again for all your help and continue to blossom with your business.

Respectful,

L. Chairs

Ms. Fuchs and I wish to thank you for your kindness and understanding in regard to our case.  It was such a pleasure meeting a person of your stature, and to realize there is someone in this world who cares for people and their problems.  You have a good business due to your friendly attitude, and you have passed it on to your staff.  We both commend you for that, and David we pray you will keep the blessings you have bestowed upon others.  Thank you again!

I also want to thank you and your entire staff for all you have done to make this situation easier for me.  Your patience, understanding, expert legal management, and your sensitivity meant a great deal during a difficult time.  Thank you too for always being informative on the many issues that arose, and for never being too busy for me.  You are a fine lawyer and my wife and I are grateful that we found you.

I am writing this letter to let you know that I appreciate everything you did for me in a time of disparate need when my debt obligation seemed endless.  Your Law Firm was there for me and I really appreciate that.  I'm sorry it took so long for me to contact you concerning my Discharge but as you know I have cancer, and during that trying time it took a toll on me.  I am getting much better now and with the debt gone I will surely recover.  So thank you and your team and your support at such a critical time, I really appreciate your services.

Respectfully,

E. Watkins, Sr.

Chicago, Illinois

I want to send this letter of thanks.  I just received the notice from your office confirming my discharge.  What a relief I can start my life new without debt, all thanks to you and your great staff.

I want to start with a BIG thank you to all your pleasant, professional staff, without them this process wouldn't have been so easy and stress free.  From my very first visit to the end I was confident in your staff and sure I made the right decision to choose David M. Siegel Law Offices to handle my bankruptcy.  Any questions I had, any information I needed whether by phone or an office visit, they were there for me.  You have done a terrific job choosing your staff.

Your prices are so reasonable and I was able to make payments, I didn't need to pay it all at once.  I also appreciated that you provided a DVD, free of charge, for the Personal Financial Management instruction class I needed to take before my case went to court.  If you didn't provide it, I would have had to pay money to take another course.  That was an additional bonus for me, and I learned a few things from the DVD.  Kuddos to the staff for their excellent work on the DVD!  I recognized Michelle when she came for my court date from her appearance in the DVD.  I felt like I had already met her.  Michelle did a great job and she assured me it would go smoothly, it did!  Less than 3 months later I am a free of debt woman, YEAH! Thank You so much.

So glad I found you in the yellow pages.

V. Aguilera

Waukegan, Illinois

I recently completed my bankruptcy discharge with you and I want you to know how grateful I am for the service I received from your firm.  From the associates that answered the phone up to attorneys themselves I always felt that I was the only client in the practice.  It was not an easy road for me to declare bankruptcy but I am so glad that I trusted you with my personal issues.  I will be happy to refer my friends to you because I know they will be in the best of hands.  Thank you so much for being there for me in such a professional and caring way.

Sincerely,

M. Werner

Thank you for your help.  You were all very kind and helpful.

I greatly appreciate everything you have done me.

Sincerely,

J. Graham

Wauconda, Illinois

I definitely feel more relief after my bankruptcy.  The most I proably like is that the collectors no long call me and asking me to pay.  I definitely learned from my mistakes from past and I know now how to take care of myself financially in future.  I am happy that I can actually enjoy my life and that I had another chance to start over.

I truly appreciate your help that you were giving me and I am very thankful for all the positive energy that I got from your team.

Sincerely,

Carpentersville, Illinois

David, thank you for your excellent representation in connection with our Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.  As you know, we recently received our discharge, and it is a great relief to know that we now have the opportunity for a fresh start and can begin our financial lives again without continual harassment from creditors.

Mrs. Holman and I were very impressed with your personal involvement in our case from our very first meeting.  Our case was a complicated one since It included not only typical creditors but back taxes and a foreclosure.  We were very concerned and anxious and had many questions as the process evolved.  You were there for us throughout the entire process, and personally answered every one of our many phone calls.  Whenever we called we were connected directly with you.  We contacted numerous firms before choosing yours, and it was very obvious that after the first meeting we would not see or talk with the head of the firm again.  However, our experience with you and your firm was very different, and helped make a difficult process easier.

We believe the key to a successful attorney/client relationship is having total confidence in your attorney, knowing he is there for you when you need him.  And that is exactly what happened throughout our case.  We cannot begin to thank you enough for being there for us when we needed you and for guiding us through one of life's' most difficult experiences.  Thank you again, and we wish you the very best in the future.

Sincerely,

T. & B Holman

Lombard, Illinois

I am writing to thank you for your help and advice with respect to my bankruptcy filing.

I have today received an unconditional Discharge of Debtor certificate from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

Before we met, I must confess I experienced a good deal of concern over the bankruptcy decision, as well as uncertainty regarding a choice of attorneys in whom to entrust it.  With only one meeting, you put all that to rest.

You should know that in the course of our dealings, I have appreciated your thorough preparation and practical advice, as well as your and your staff's efficiency and attention to detail.

 Most of all, I would thank and compliment you for your effectiveness.  You've made a difficult process easy.

Thank you again and please let me know if I may furnish a recommendation of your services.

All the best!

Sincerely,

G. S. Hotz

Wheeling, Illinois

I just wanted to express my appreciation for the excellent bankruptcy case service your company has provided me.

The court hearing was stress free.  My calls to the office were very pleasant and accommodating.

It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Thank you very much for your hard work and consideration in providing my Fresh start!

Sincerely,

E. Plaines

Waukegan, Illinois

I cannot thank you and your office enough for all the help and compassion you have provided for me and family.  The thought of Bankruptcy (in my late forty's) was so harsh and humiliating that I chose not to face it for to many years.  After going through the same viscous circle for over five years we finally decided to seek you out.  I had known of your name three years earlier from a good friend but I was unable to face the realization and fear to talk with you.  I had always done well financially, had a nice home and lived a modest lifestyle.  My idea of Bankruptcy was shame and complete utter fear!

After finally building the strength to sneak in your office, my wife and I sat and waited to be called in.  I don't think we sat more then 5 minutes until you came out with this big smile and welcomed us in.  You slowly reviewed all of our paper's as I nervously asked question after question.  Not once did you make me feel as if my questions were to much or out of place.  Your demeanor was incredibly calming, refreshing and extremely knowledgeable.  After well over an hour, my wife and I walked out of your office actually smiling.  For the first time in many years we felt a wonderful feeling of relief.

It has been close to seven months since we first saw you and we are already in a better financial situation today then we were in the past five years.  We actually have money in the bank!  We are certainly not na•ve and you have made clear what we need to do.  We may have some challenges ahead of us but to start with a fresh slate and work at rebuilding is certainly better then falling further in that black hole.

Again, thank you for all the help and for taking the time to return the many, many phone calls I made to you, lol.  You are absolutely the best at what you do.

Sincerely,

Grateful Clients of 2010

As you already know we received our discharge from the court.  We were very happy and relieved that we have no more stress.
