 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Mike Assad to anyone considering Chapter 13 bankruptcy. He is extremely thorough, detail-oriented, and takes the time to make sure every part of the case is handled correctly. He explains everything clearly and makes what can be a stressful process much easier to understand.

What impressed me the most was his dedication. After my vehicle was repossessed, Mike personally contacted the lender to help get my car returned. That level of commitment showed me that he truly cares about his clients and is willing to go the extra mile to protect their interests.
If you’re looking for a Chapter 13 attorney who is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely fights for his clients, Mike Assad is an excellent choice.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional Lawyer — Compassionate, Knowledgeable, and truly non-judgmental

My partner and I were going through one of the most stressful and overwhelming experiences of our lives when we found Mike Assad, and we cannot express enough how grateful we are that we did.

From our very first interaction, Mike made us feel completely at ease. There was absolutely zero judgment — just genuine care, patience, and a clear determination to help us find the best path forward.

Mike went above and beyond every step of the way. He took the time to thoroughly understand our situation, explained our options in plain language we could actually understand, and provided guidance that was both practical and reassuring.

The legal work he handled on our behalf was meticulous and professional, and we always felt like we were in extremely capable hands.

Navigating bankruptcy is daunting, and the emotional weight of it can be crushing — but Mike's calm, encouraging approach made an incredibly difficult process manageable. He treated us with dignity and respect throughout, and that meant the world to us.

If you are facing debt challenges or any financial legal difficulties and need someone who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely conscientious and kind, look no further than Mike Assad.

Mike is, without question, the lawyer you want in your corner. We are so thankful for everything he did for us and would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone who needs compassionate, expert legal support.

Thank you Mike!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My bankruptcy attorney Mike Assad made this process smooth and easy. I never felt judged or looked down upon for my decision. Mike was open with me about everything which actually made me say “Yes, I’m going through with it” of course bankruptcy has its pros and cons, which varies depending on your individual situation. Mike talked me through every detail it didn’t feel forced or fake. I appreciate his honesty which made me wanna be even more transparent. Contact him for all your bankruptcy needs I can guarantee you will not be disappointed

If it was not for his perseverance in court, this would have never been over. He fought against the USDA and not everyone does that, so again, thank you!! God bless you and I hope you continue to have a successful career.

How we help Egg Harbor Township residents

Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Wipe out credit card debt, medical bills, and personal loans. Most cases close in 90 to 120 days. Affordable pricing with flexible payment plans.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Behind on your mortgage or your car payment? Chapter 13 lets you catch up over a 3 to 5 year court-approved plan while keeping your home and car. Fees depend on your case, and you can get started for as little as $99.

Foreclosure defense. If a foreclosure complaint has been filed against your Atlantic County home, filing bankruptcy stops the sheriff sale and gives you breathing room to restructure.

Student loan discharge. Recent legal changes have made it possible to discharge federal and private student loans through bankruptcy in ways that were not available even a few years ago.

Subchapter V (small business reorganization). A faster, lower-cost alternative to traditional Chapter 11 for shore-area small business owners who need to restructure debt and keep operating.
