Exceptional Legal Representation for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
I am beyond thrilled that I stumbled upon the Law Offices of Michael Jay Berger. From the moment I reached out to them, Michael and his team have been nothing short of amazing. Sofya, in particular, was the attorney assigned to handle my cases, and let me tell you, she is an absolute gem. Meticulous, smart, and incredibly kind, Sofya truly knows what she's doing.
Throughout the entire process of navigating my Chapter 13 bankruptcy, Sofya went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly. She worked tirelessly to negotiate reasonable payment plans that not only eased my financial burden but also allowed me to provide for my family without added stress.
I cannot thank Sofya and the team at the Law Offices of Michael Jay Berger enough for lifting the weight of this ordeal off my shoulders. Their extensive knowledge and unwavering support have been everything to me. Despite my initial nerves, they consistently put me at ease at every stage of the process, and the final outcome couldn't have been better.
As we near the finalization of the process, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of relief and confidence in their work. If you're in need of legal representation for bankruptcy or any other matter, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to the Law Offices of Michael Jay Berger. You won't be disappointed.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Tony N.Los Angeles, CA69822Feb 24, 2024
All I got was someone who communicated with the creditor on what I wanted and what the creditor wanted. Didn't get much representation or any plan of action how to actually get a good settlement. Only spoke to Michael at the initial call, maybe once in the middle of an associate change and then the end with another invoice to collect. We ended up just agreeing to a payment plan with the creditor which I could have and should have done myself. Never got an itemized bill for the initial retainer. You live and learn.

I do not recommend this law firm. For many different reasons, they do use the unprofessional unexperienced attorneys that are rookies and in the meantime very rude and domineering. Their outcome is also not favorable. I would have given less than 1 or is 0 grading if possible

J.R. who are you? You are certainly not my client! Your comments are nonsensical. You say that I have "unexperienced attorneys that are rookies." I have been practicing law since 1981 and I am a certified specialist in bankruptcy law. I am rated AV Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell, The highest possible rating in both legal ability and ethical standards. My partner Sofya Davtyan has been practicing law with me for more than 15 years. Like me, she is a certified specialist in bankruptcy law. Our least experienced Associate Attorney Robert Poteete has been practicing law in California since 2007. None of us are "unexperienced attorneys that are rookies. None of us are "rude and domineering." Who are you and what are you talking about? Why are you hiding your real name? Please, take down your review now. It is 100% completely false.

I recently had the pleasure of working with this firm ad I cannot speak highly enough of Karine.
From the moment I contacted them, their team (Karine) was professional, knowledgeable and attentive to my legal needs. They took the time to listen to my concerns and provided me with clear and concise guidance throughout the entire process.
I absolutely recommend this firm.
Thank you do much Karine!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Caroline K.Rolling Hills Estates, CA04Feb 7, 2023
ATTORNEYS JUST DON'T GET BETTER THAN THIS!!!
When I came to the Law Offices of Michael Jay Berger I had a very mixed up situation involving bankruptcy and a VERY complicated AP case. This doesn't happen in most BK's, but when it does Michael is who you want on your side!!! He unwinded all the craziness. put together a winning strategy and implemented it! Michael and his attorneys wrote extremely well thought out motions and attended all the hearings with excellence and professionalism. As I mentioned my case was not a normal one, I was extremely nervous because I had a very egregious, litigious family member coming after me and I needed someone exceptional! Michael is a brilliant man, well-spoken, logical, SMART and TRUSTWORTHY!!! Yathida, Sophia and the rest of his staff are stellar, hard-working and honest!
Michael knew when and what to say (with me and the judge!!) and was patient where necessary. He answered my many questions with good advice and kept me on the right path. He never over promised and he always over delivered. He persevered, stuck to his guns and WON!!! All of this with a sense of humor and a smile!
Thank you Law offices of Michael Jay Berger! I am forever grateful!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

This review is long overdue, if your looking for a great firm on your side don't look anywhere else Michael and his team will figure out your resolution for your issue there the best on the west side of Mississippi. If I could've given them more stars I would of I am only allowed 5 stars.

Sofya is THE BEST! This woman knows what she is doing, as was in fact the only lawyer who seemed to have solutions to really help me - and she did! A very special and rare lawyer, if you need help you need to contact her. What a God send. I was very lucky to find her. Thank-you so much to Yathida & Sofya for all of your help. 10+ stars! :) They are outstanding.
