Throughout the entire process, his unrelenting dedication to our case never wavered. He fought vigorously in the courts to ensure that we got the most favorable outcome when issues surfaced; for example, an affordable monthly payment for our creditors. He was always there to answer any questions we had regarding documents that we received from the bankruptcy court from time to time. What resonated with me was when he said "Don't worry, I am here for you! I will not abandon you!"

Richard impressed me with the breadth and depth of his knowledge about Illinois bankruptcy law. He is helping me with a chapter 7 bankruptcy after falling victim to fraud and i was unable to recoup any of the money. I am grateful for his professionalism and expertise in helping me through this difficult time and for his empathy during this emotional experience. Heath, Richard's staff, was also supportive, answered all my questions and helped me prepare all the backup documents.

We met with Rich for a consultation for a complicated situation. He was very thorough and took the time to walk us through the process and provide explanations and advice for areas we did not understand. He was very understanding and helped ease our minds in this very trying situation. We look forward to working with him in the future.

My wife and I decided we had no choice but to file bankruptcy. After meeting with Richard Fonfrias, my wife and I felt very reassured.. Mr. Fonfrias was detailed, professional, and really showed he cared about our situation. He put our minds at ease with making the decision to file bankruptcy. Mr. Fonfrias and his assistant Jennifer M. were amazing. We had questions along the way regarding the process and procedure and they both were patient and thorough every time we called.

Throughout the entire bankruptcy process, Rich and Jenn (assistant) returned my calls and emails very promptly and kept me informed of every situation that came up. Rich is very easy to talk to, listens to your problems and patiently answers your questions. He assured me I was doing the right thing to get a clean start. So THANKFUL I listened to him, my case was Discharged! Would definitely recommend Rich for any bankruptcy issues!

Since you've helped me turn it around I've graduated with masters in counseling and got a job with the federal government and living and working here at the Tripler army medical center in Honolulu. Thanks for all your help and I hope to continue on the path of prosperity.

We decided we had no choice but to file bankruptcy in 2015. . By the end of Dec. 2016 our bankruptcy had gone through. Things are still tight as we are starting all over again to rebuild our credit, but at least the stress and the headaches of the credit cards, medicals bills, etc.. are gone, and our minds are at peace that we have not lost our home. We were very pleased with the Fonfrias Law Group and appreciate everything they did for our family. We would highly recommend them to anyone.
