I was not happy at having to go into bankruptcy a few years ago, but when I went in to get it done,…read moreI was treated with all kinds of respect and dignity by Mr. Podis, Esq. He helped us through the process, stood with us in bankruptcy court, and made sure to let us know he was available when we needed his help.
Well, about a week ago, I was having issues getting some paperwork I needed, so I just went to his office, and he spent quite a bit of time, helping me out, giving advice, walking through steps I needed to get done, and just being like a ... "father-figure?" I hate to say that, but that's kind of what it felt like.
Finally, the paperwork I got done was still in limbo, and I was getting frustrated. Doors were closing, everyone was being helpful, and I was not getting any real answers. I called up the Podis and Podis again, and after another frustration, I was put through to Cynthia Podis, Mark's wife.
She could tell I was very frustrated, and she took time out of her day to help me understand my situation, see my options, and encourage me that all would work out. It was a boost I really needed and it pulled me out of a depression spiral that I was sinking into deeply, dealing with insurance, lawyers, and car-types.
All that said, I've HATED lawyers, but these two seem to understand that the people behind the legalese, jargon, paperwork, and courtrooms, are usually calling them while they are hurting. They seem to get it that you don't call a bankruptcy lawyer until you've been through many days of stress, or you've had to deal with a major disruption of your life and need the court to help get back on track. They are extremely kind, and will do their very best for you.
