I Had An Excellent Experience With Rich Fonfrias

I had an excellent experience with Rich Fonfrias. I found him through a referral after my previous attorney disappeared and left me in a real bind. Rich straightened out everything, and he made it easy for me. After a meeting and a few phone calls, my problems were solved. Rich helped me feel comfortable throughout the process, too. He was happy to answer as many questions as I wanted. And most of all – mornings, evenings, phone, email, or in person – Rich made himself available when I needed him. I would definitely use Rich Fonfrias again, and I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Thanks For The Eye-opening Meeting

Thanks for the "eye opening" meeting yesterday. I was in a state of shock (in a good way) after the meeting because I didn't realize all my financial & legal problems could be wiped clean. Read the client's entire "Thank You" letter.

I Would Recommend Fonfrias Law Group Because They Seem To Really Care

He Is An Honorable Attorney

I was concerned I wouldn't be able to get chapter 7 relief. I did and I owe it all to Rich. He is an honorable attorney (rare in my experience).

Attorney Fonfrias Serves The People "From The Heart!"

Our very first meeting with Attorney Fonfrias left us feeling that we had chosen the "right" attorney. He was warm, compassionate, reassuring, and quite knowledgeable. He helped dispel the "guilt" that we were carrying, although we knew we had no other recourse due to an unforeseen and unexpected loss of income.

Unlike what we perceived from another attorney while considering him for the job, we perceived that Mr. Fonfrias had our very best interest at heart after the very first consultation; he has been a man of his word! He did not do a "rush" job on us. He worked hard to ensure that we received the very best payment plan for our particular financial situation.

There is nothing like honest ratings/reviews from ordinary people. We would not hesitate to recommend Attorney Fonfrias to anyone requiring his services.

Thank you Attorney Fonfrias! Continue to serve the people "from the heart!"

I Would Recommend Richard To Everyone

I was in a very bad financial time. I had gone to 5 different lawyers looking for options on bankruptcy. All of them told me my only option was a chapter 13 bankruptcy. They also said I would have to make payments of six to a thousand dollars a month for the next five years. I new there was no way i could make those payments. Then I met Richard. I explained my financial hardship to him. He asked me questions over the phone so I wouldnt have to take any time off. He told me I could do a chapter 7 bankruptcy. I could always call or email him with any concerns and if he didn't answer would always get back to me within 15 min whether it was to answer a question or just make me feel better about the situation Richard was always right there. It really amazed me how other lawyers told me I couldn't do a chapter 7 and Richard made it happen. He is a very truthful and honest lawyer. I would recommend Richard to everyone.

Rich Was A Great Counselor

When the economy turned our financial situation became unsustainable. Rich was referred to me by a real estate professional. We had numerous conversations over many weeks. Ultimately we decided upon a course of action, Chap 13. While I was not proud of the situation, Rich was a great counselor. He was always available to answer questions. I truly believe I am now on my way to a better financial future.

Rich Is A Lawyer You Can Trust

Rich is a Lawyer you can trust. He helped me file my Chapter 7 and he gave me the pros and cons of filing for bankruptcy. He made my process pain-free and quite easy. I recommend anyone thinking of filing for bankruptcy should schedule an interview with Rich.

You Help Me Focus On The Task At Hand

Thank you so very much for your time and patience in explaining the process. This is really BIG and I feel slightly overwhelmed in working this through in parallel with the divorce/custody challenges — so having clarity in information/data helps me focus on the task at hand. Onward!

Thanks For EVERYTHING!

Thanks for EVERYTHING! Without you this would not have ever happened. We wouldn't have done it. We wouldn't have gotten through that bump. And it was so much less scary knowing that we could trust you.

"Bankruptcy is a life-changing event and something I thought I would never have to do. Working with Rich made me more comfortable about the option of bankruptcy which made my financial responsibilities easy to manage. Rich communicated with me in a timely manner and he definitely put my mind at ease. Even though my case has been settled, Rich continues to follow up with me to make sure everything is working out. He was, and still is, available when I have questions or concerns. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Rich."

I Have Not Met Anyone As Sincere And Helpful As Rich

"When I first met Rich He listened to what I needed, and did not mention anything about his fees! He wanted to see how he could help me first. After that was established we laid out several options for me. Rich gave me his undivided attention and answered every question I had, it was as if I was speaking with a Life long friend, and i just met the guy! My first impression was a very good one and I could not be more pleased. I have worked with attorney's in the past, but I have not met anyone as sincere and helpful as Rich!"

I Feel Like He Saved Our Financial Lives!

"My husband and I hired Richard to help us through a bankruptcy. We really struggled with deciding to do this, and Richard patiently helped us understand all the facts about it. Once we decided to go ahead, he walked us easily through the whole process – constantly keeping a cool head, working very hard on our behalf, answering all of our many questions along the way. He made a very difficult situation much less stressful. The result – I feel like he saved our financial lives!"

Finally A Lawyer You Can Trust!

Bankruptcy is a very sensitive issue. The reason an individual files can be for a variety of economic circumstances known only to them and their lawyer. Getting prompt attention before and after filing is quite important. Mr. Fonfrias makes sure he answers all e-mails and phone calls on the same day. He also hires staff that is reflective of his mission and an extension of himself--kind and courteous. I would recommend him to anyone who must make that critical decision in their life.

"Rich Is A Reliable, Hardworking Guy Who Pays Great Attention To Detail"

"Rich is very thorough and pays great attention to detail. He's a reliable, hardworking guy who will still be working long after everyone else has turned the lights off and gone home. Rich has a great personality and works well with people. Plus, he's a terrific lawyer. He and I have been long-time friends and I have also been his client. I would certainly refer him to anyone who wants to solve financial problems."

Duane Jones; South Holland, Illinois

"Rich Used Words I Understood And Took Time To Explain Everything To Me"

"What I appreciated most about Rich was that he spoke in language I could understand. I was in unfamiliar territory and Rich took time to explain what this is, what that means – all in language I understood. Also, Rich has great followup skills. Many people in business have good intentions about following up, but often don't. It really says something about a lawyer when he takes the time to followup. It means he’s going to get the job done. Rich has always been accessible and returned my phone calls. Plus he knows the complicated laws very well. Rich will not miss one number or letter. You'll never find a typo. He really knows his specialty and I would absolutely refer friends to him."

Lora Boffa; Bloomingdale, Illinois
