“Mr. Shmucher. guided me through the Bankrupt process. Once I had turned all the proper documents, he filled my case quickly. This was my first experience dealing with a lawyer and the experience was a positive one. He responded to my E-mails promptly and took the time to return my phone calls, even during the weekend. He brought a human element to the process, and he has a caring aspect to his approach. He made me feel comfortable during my court date. If you are at the end of your rope in your finances then I highly recommend Mr. Shmucher if you need to declare bankruptcy."

“Until I met Mr. Ofer Shmucher, I always viewed my dealing with lawyers as a necessary evil because I found those that I met to be cold and distant. Mr. Ofer changed that perception once and for all. I have found him to be very humane, caring, patient, understanding and highly capable. Mr. Ofer Shmucher always took the time to listen to me and to clarify the legal aspects of my case that I did not understand in a manner and language that I could relate to. He diligently kept me informed of the progress of my case and always returned my calls in a timely manner. Better yet he always had an answer to my multiple inquiries and always came up with a solution. I am very satisfied with his services."
