WE GOT THIS! These are the words told to me by Stuart. He made a very difficult time for me and my family move along as easy and quickly as possible! I love the constant contact he had with me. He always said to text him or call anytime with questions or concerns, and he meant it! He responded quickly. He understood how difficult this was for me and always told me to stay positive. He really helped me see the bright side during the process. He told me this was my opportunity to get a fresh start. I would definitely recommend Stuart to anyone seeking help financially! HE’S GOT THIS!

Kelly Smith from Stuart Handelman’s office was a tremendous help and handled our case with true professionalism. Kelly helped us out of a terrible situation and made sure all aspects of our case were taken care of. I highly recommend her services to anyone who needs help with bankruptcy.

I was referred to Stuart Handelman by a mutual friend when I was having financial difficulty. Stuart and his staff were very helpful and guided me through my financial challenge and now I am completely debt free. Thank you Stuart!

My lawyers were very thorough they took my information they explained everything to me step-by-step what was going to happen and what I should do everything that I was told was the way it happened and I appreciate everything that was done thank you

I have worked with Stuart in the past for a bankruptcy and not only did he take a bad situation and guide me through in a painless and easy way and answer all of my questions immediately no matter how many or how often, but he has continued to answer my questions and help me through situations months after the bankruptcy was discharged. I have had a couple issues with lenders since the bankruptcy and Stuart has stepped up and helped me take care of them as quickly and painlessly as he always did. I have countless emails since we were discharged and he has continued to be professional, helpful, and prompt and even calm me down. I would recommend him to anyone unfortunate enough to need a lawyer and I can’t see anyone having anything less than a great experience with him. 

My situation was kind of complicated- I wasn’t fully educated on the bankruptcy process so I didn’t really know my options and I was also going to be moving at the time, so I was unsure of what I should do.

I set up an appointment to tell Stuart my situation and even though I didn’t end up filing through him, he did give me a lot of valuable advice on what I should do as well as educate me on what the process would be like.

I appreciate the time he took to hear my situation and would definitely recommend him to anyone!

We are so grateful for Stuart Handelman and his staff. Although our bankruptcy case was complicated, Stuart made each step easier for us and always answered our questions and concerns quickly. He was always a text, e-mail or phone call away. We met in Stuart’s Palos office which was very convenient for us. His fee was reasonable based on all the work and time he and his staff committed to our situation. It has been over a month since our filing and meeting with the bankruptcy trustee and Stuart is still helping us. Thank you.

Mr. Handelman was extremely knowledgeable and yet very easy to talk to. He helped me throughout the entire process while always making himself available for questions. I felt completely at ease with his expertise and would recommend Mr. Handelman without hesitation.

Stuart Handelman and his staff far exceeded my expectations. Not only are they compassionate and kind people, they are exceptional attorneys who know the law and helped me through a difficult, stressful time filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. I can’t say enough about the Handelman Firm. I was very fortunate to have found them and very fortunate that they represented me. They have given me peace of mind and have helped me stay positive about the future. The first day I met Stuart he told me to stay positive, that this was a new start and I can only go forward. Thank you Stuart, Jean, Kelly and Desiree for making a very difficult time in my life easier to accept. Your guidance and expertise has been priceless.

I want to express my gratitude to Kelly Smith, part of the team at Stuart B. Handelman firm. I had found myself in difficult times and hired her as my bankruptcy attorney. She is extremely knowledgeable and informative and a great consultant through the entire legal process. I would highly recommend this team, especially Kelly. Thank you again Kelly, I cannot express my gratitude.

Meeting Mr. Handelman was a wonderful experience and he’s very direct, professional and very helpful to your concerns and needs. Everything I needed to handle my case, Mr. Handelman was there to help and give me his views on things I should file and not file or filing period. I like the fact when I needed to ask questions, Mr. Handelman, he was always available and quick to respond to my questions, which is very helpful. My case was filed quickly and I would definitely recommend anyone to him that is looking to file a bankruptcy.

I decided to call for a free consultation and didn’t realize I was really in need of help! I couldn’t pass up his offer to help because the price was right! So decided to hire Stuart. And When I say I’ve never meet someone that was so professional and efficient, I am very impressed! He is always available. Text, Cell phone and Email and if I left a voicemail he’d call me right back! The process was a breeze! He make sure you don’t have to worry about anything. I’m very glad my friend referred me to him and his firm, now I can help someone else also. I highly recommend Stuart Handelman! Thank you so much!

The first time we were in the downtown office, we actually met Stuart. He was as down to earth as one gets, shared his hobby of photography. It made us wonder if he was really as good an attorney… because he wasn’t at all the stereotypical arrogant downtown attorney (lol). But his firm has never steered us wrong, and we are so happy that our legal matters are in their hands. Two attorneys have personally handled our legal matters… Kelly Smith and Jean Huang. Kelly opened our case and saw it through until everything was cleared by the Courts for Chapter 13. Jean took over as our attorney once we entered repayment, and has been guiding us for the past 5 years. Both attorneys are honest, straightforward, knowledgeable, and reassuring. They have handled our case with professionalism and competence, and have been incredibly kind and compassionate with us. Kelly did an amazing job with our case and walked us through everything, oftentimes repeating herself without the slightest bother, as she was sensitive and empathic to our anxieties. Jean has been incredible. We don’t worry because we know that we are in good hands with her. We panicked when we received a subpoena at one point, but Jean was poised and simply laid out our options, went to Court for us, and made the headache go away. We did not have to miss a day of work or interrupt our lives… she took care of it all for us. The legal assistant, Desiree Glapion, is also great. She is quick to reply in case Jean is out of the office, handles herself with professionalism, and is sensitive to our questions. Feeling terribly about having to file bankruptcy, I walked around feeling ashamed of myself and expected nobody to be empathic to our problem… not so with this group. I am equally grateful for their competence and their kindness. Our case will soon be done, but if we should ever need another attorney again, they are the ones we will come back to… the only firm for us.

The law offices of Stuart B. Handelman were great for my bankruptcy. I actually went to two other “bankruptcy mills” before and was told by them that I would have to file for a chapter 13 bankruptcy and wouldn’t qualify for a chapter 7. The law offices of Stuart Handelman got me into a chapter 7 without any difficulty. They also make the whole bankruptcy process very easy to deal with. They show you exactly what you need to do and get done and also are great about getting back to you when you call with any questions. Bankruptcy can be tough to go through and they make the entire process very easy to deal with. I would highly recommend the law offices of Stuart Handelman for anybody that is thinking about filing bankruptcy.

Mr Handelman shoots straight from the hip. He tells you what you need and what you don’t. He’ll be in the court before you and tell you whats going to happen. As the old saying goes: You get what you pay for and he is the real deal.

Ms. Kelly Smith in Stuart Handelman’s office was extremely helpful throughout my bankruptcy filing and I can’t thank her enough. I never thought that I would ever have to go through something like this at this point in my life, but she made it very easy for me during a very difficult time. I would highly recommend Ms. Smith for anyone who is contemplating bankruptcy.

A very good friend of mine recommended Stuart’s office and I must say that I was very satisfied with the service. Going through bankruptcy can be a tough moment in one’s life so it’s very important to make sure you have a great law firm guiding you throughout this ordeal. My attorney, Kelly, was very thorough and made this an unbelievably smooth process. Thank you so much!

There were several matters that had to be addressed in my case not typical of a routine Chp. 13 filing, including getting a vehicle back from reposession, transcripts from my daughters school which allowed her to enroll in her new school and one very difficult counsel representing the Trustee…who seemed to have taken a very personal interest in my case! The intake process at the offices of Stuart Handelman are both efficient and informative. They are a small team of highly dedicated professionals which affords you personalized attention…nothing is missed! Filing a Bankruptcy can be a very stressful time. Jean Huang helps take the stress and emotion out of the mix and replaces that with the confidence that comes from knowing you are being represented by an experienced competent attorney.

I went to see Attorney Stuart Handelman at one of the most difficult times in my life. I was having some overwhelming financial issues that threaten my able ability to meet my basic needs. I felt trapped and horrible about being in that situation because I have always been able to pay my bills. I never thought that I would be meeting with a bankruptcy attorney and even cry profusely during our appointment. Mr. Handelman was so compassionate and understanding. He listened to my concerns which calmed my fears and patiently explained the entire process as well as my options. Meeting with him gave me the courage and knowledge I needed to confront the creditor to resolve the situation out of court. Although I did not file for bankruptcy Stuart Handelman helped me to take the shame out of the bankruptcy process and empowered me to take my life back. I would highly recommend Attorney Stuart Handelman if you are considering file bankruptcy.

Thank you so much for putting things in perspective for us and giving us the information you did. Sometimes when it seems that all you do is work and you can’t get anywhere, it seems all is lost and you feel like throwing your hands in the air. I so appreciate everything you said in the e-mail and it gave me my second wind to really see this through.

Thanks for all your help. As you can see we truly did have an over-full plate to try and manage… Jean you are making this whole thing a lot easier to deal with. It is still embarrassing and messy however your assistance and calm demeanor are making all the difference to us. We both thank you for that.

With my very 1st phone call to Mr. Handelman’s office I felt reassured about my financial situation. This feeling was vaildated upon my first one on one meeting with Mr. Handelman. He was kind, talked with as if we’d known each other for a time, rather than just meeting and he explained everything in terms in which I was able to understand right from the get go. Each step and throughout the process I felt better than I had in months and knew that the decision I had made to #1 seek out legal assistance was the right thing to do in my situation and #2 that I had made the right choice in choosing an attorney. At my Meeting of Creditors, once again Mr. Handelman went though the steps of the proceedings and reviewed my paper work with me. I now feel that a huge weight has been lifted and I can make a new fresh start.

I have always been extremely satisfied and grateful for the services provided by Mr. Handelman and his staff from my first visit to his office for a consultation to the bankruptcy filing and beyond. Specifically I worked initially with Ms. Kelly Smith and subsequently with Ms. Jean Huang. Their professionalism was first-rate in all areas (providing information, answering my questions, requesting the necessary documents from me, having me sign off on the necessary forms, etc.). I always felt I was in good hands with this firm and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking debt relief.

Jean, I want to sincerely thank you for your last email. Your encouragement, compassion, and concern meant a great deal to us!!! Your loyalty and superb representation has ALWAYS been there for us… during a horrendous time in our lives. I wish there were words to express how grateful we are!

We highly recommend Stuart Handelman to anyone who is looking for a professional, outstanding lawyer! He helped us through our chapter 7 bankruptcy more than three years ago and made the process very easy! Even though we filed our bankruptcy over three years ago, we needed advise today and he was there to help us and answer our questions. He is very trustworthy, knowledgeable and friendly!

I have had a number of interactions with Jean M. Huang and I want to let you know that she has been most helpful. I have had questions and she is always articulate, eloquent, and highly profession. This process has been very difficult and it makes a huge difference when working with someone that can be helpful and insightful in getting though all the legal information. I truly appreciate her level of professionalism and integrity.

Jean, I want to thank you for all the help you gave us. Even, when I thought things were at their worst, you calmed me down. I know I was a pain in the…. sometimes (okay, all the time), and you probably wanted to hang up on me about a hundred times. Instead, you stayed right by me and told me to hold on. I will be forever grateful for all the hours you put in to help us and believe me if I ever meet someone who needs help, I will definitely recommend you. Words can’t express how grateful I am and I can’t thank you enough.
