"I had a wonderful experience with Chandraiah Law Firm and highly recommend consulting with Sam if you're exploring bankruptcy. I called another law firm that I've seen in a lot of ads first, but I didn't appreciate feeling like just another case. From the very first time I called Chandraiah law firm, I received personalized advice tailored to my unique situation. Sam was extremely responsive through both phone and email. He was considerate of my feelings and explained everything in detail, with easy to follow next steps. It is obvious that he cares for his clients and he worked with me to protect my interests. Additionally, he has the best value out of all the firms I contacted. Filing bankruptcy is a really stressful time, and I appreciated getting such personalized advice and support at a price I could afford, even while experiencing disability."

"Sam was very helpful in helping me and my wife reach a settlement with a law firm that sued on behalf of a collection agency so she would not have to attend the court date because it was settled before the court date. Sam is very patient and understanding and always gets back to you right away with any questions you may have. Can't thank you enough Sam."

"I was at the end of the line, so deep in debt, there was no way out for me, so I decided to give Sam a call. He was very clear from the beginning about the steps to follow in order to present my case. We did fill out the paperwork, and at the court, it was all over under 6 minutes. Fantastic, I would highly recommend to give Sam a call if you are in financial trouble and are in need of bankruptcy advise. Sam is the best Attorney to go to regarding bankruptcy, I know him for over 15 years."

"Sam really knows his stuff. Was well prepared before my appearance. Really reasonable rates and made the process super simple. It's a very nerve-racking when bankruptcy is your last option but Sam made it as painless as possible. Would highly recommend."

"In a very low point of my life with medical issues and a bad divorce, Sam helped me through it and made the very uncomfortable process of a bankruptcy smooth and painless for me. Communication and professionalism were key points that I was looking for and I received! Never thought I would need to file bankruptcy in my life but Sam again clearly articulated the process along with explaining what can and can't be done. I highly recommend Chandraiah Law Firm for anyone needing to go through this horrible process and needs a compassionate and competent lawyer!"

"My bankruptcy experience with Subramaniam "Sam" Chandraiah of Chandraiah Law Firm / Chicago Bankruptcy Help was great. Sam was extremely helpful in helping me understand the process from beginning to end. I was very confident that he could help make my process a very smooth one. Anytime I had questions along the way, he was very prompt in getting back to me as well. Thanks again, Sam!"
