My boyfriend and I hired Joel as our attorney for our first time buying real estate. Our process was lengthy and very chaotic but Joel helped us through it and was the saving grace throughout the entire transaction. I have absolutely nothing but positive things to say about him. From the get go he was on top of everything and guided us through it all. We were happy to compensate Joel at closing! Hiring Joel was the best decision we made and hopefully he will be at every closing for us in the future.

Joel has helped me immensely with my financial issues but also the stress I have felt dealing with these issues. I wish I came to him sooner to help me figure it all out and get me back on track. Joel is kind but a very hard worker and knowledgeable about his job. He takes it very seriously and I have felt a priority during the whole process.

Mr. Spivack is very knowledgeable on bankruptcy law. I can confidently recommend his services. I thought my situation was "unique" but in reality all matters regarding finances are unique. He answered all my questions in legalese and plain English. Bottom line, there were no surprises and I was very pleased with the results. Trust his experience and he will deliver. My only regret is not retaining his services earlier than I did. Call him.
