I highly recommend LakeLaw, and specifically David Leibowitz. for several reasons. David Leibowitz met with me for the initial free consultation. During that meeting he gathered relevant information and explained legal and ethical boundaries and roles. He also stressed that his law firm "cares" about people. The numerous service awards and plaques on the office walls are indicative of how he goes the extra mile. That is what distinguishes this firm form most others and why I had the best possible outcome imaginable. He knows the law inside out and he knows the people in the system. David actually does oversee and check in with you if your case is assigned to a younger lawyer (with a lower rate). In my case, he went above and beyond by personally coming to court simply because he thought my case was a bit more complex and he wanted to be sure I was taken care of. I had many cards stacked against me; his knowledge and personal relationships made all the difference. Even after my case was discharged, he followed up with me about some loose ends. I lost nothing. Unbelievable. Their fee was also very reasonable--I would have paid more if I had known how important it was to have their representation. read more

David Leibowitz is the most competent and professional lawyer I have ever worked with. After researching and interviewing dozens of law firms, I chose Lakelaw to file bankruptcy for my parents due to their credentials, professionalism, friendliness and prompt service. The initial appointment was exceptional, David was very thorough in explaining to us the process and how it would affect my parent's future. He also answered all of our questions and concerns. The process was a total ease, I gave him all of the paperwork he needed and they took care of the rest. My parents never had to show up to court, we were constantly informed about the process and received copies of all the paperwork we needed to keep on file. It has been almost two years since the bankruptcy process was finalized and anytime we have a question, David still takes the time out of his busy schedule to answer them. I highly recommend his firm to anyone who wants their money worth and wants to avoid being ripped off by careless lawyers who just take people's money and do sloppy jobs. Lakelaw is simply the BEST! read more

I was fortunate to find David after another firm returned my retainer due to a conflict of interest -- and in hindsight, it was the best thing that could have happened. In just a 15-minute phone call, David identified a "non-consumer" filing option that the previous firm missed despite multiple consultations and strategy sessions. His insight allowed me to keep my employment, retain my income, maintain my securities license, and protect exempt assets, including complex trusts with spendthrift provisions. David's depth of legal knowledge is exceptional, but what truly sets him apart is his ability to communicate complex issues clearly and calmly, making you feel heard and valued throughout the process. He even took calls while on vacation to help meet a critical deadline. Attorneys truly do make a difference, and David is, without a doubt, one of the very best. read more

After interviewing four different attorneys and studying the bankruptcy law for over one year, I knew that I had a difficult case since it involved a number of failed LLCs. I knew I needed the best attorney I could find. David was the only attorney who had full command over the intricacies of bankruptcy law, and he understood the entire situation very clearly from the onset. He clearly laid out a strategy to achieve the best possible result in a difficult situation. David himself worked tirelessly on this case, explaining every last detail to me willingly. David takes a true interest in his clients. As a Chapter 7 trustee himself, David is well respected by trustees in the bankruptcy courts. David stands by his commitments to his clients and fulfilled every request I made. read more

David Leibowitz is excellent - i was referred to him through a freind of mine who is a corporate bankruptcy attorney.

I catually met with David personally - he is a great person and really helped me understand my options. cants say enough about how much i appreciate the service.
