Christina Scelsa is a northwest side attorney specializing in bankruptcy and personal injury cases. She also has a nursing degree. She just completed my Ch. 7 bankruptcy case last month and I feel so relieved and free! Here are the reasons you should hire Chris:
1) She is detail oriented. Look up the stats; most bankruptcy cases that are prolonged or thrown out are due to poorly done paperwork. Chris has a great work ethic and takes pride in her job.
2) She has a small practice. At the time when she was fixing my paperwork, she had only 3 other bankruptcy clients. My paperwork was stellar, my 341 hearing took ten minutes, the calls ceased and I feel relieved and confident that I am not going back to court.
3) So pleasant and amicable. In fact, in the midst of a dead silent lobby at the Dirksen building awaiting 341 hearing, the woman in front of me turned around and evnviously said ""Gosh your lawyer sounds so nice."" Chris is approachable, honest, straightforward, and understanding. I interviewed several lawyers in the area and found something with each of them that just did not sit right with me. Chris answers her phone ""Chris speaking?"" and ALWAYS addresses all your questions with respect and compassion. In fact, we talked about dogs, home improvement, and college; she is just good people.
4) Timelines and efficiency. Chris has been doing this work for 20 some years. She is realistic with expectations and stringent with organization. She tells you exactly what you need to do and when to do it by.
5) Flexible. Chris works with her people (and she calls us that, not clients, but her people) to find an affordable fee and set up a payment schedule. Don't waste your time and money with legal helpers or geraci when her fee is negligibly higher. She is always available via phone, I once had to call her at 2am and she answered the call.
In short, Christina Scelsa gave my case her utmost attention, treated me with respect, and did exactly what an attorney is hired to do: she introduced me to the protocol and simplified the legal process using her expertise. I would definitely seek her consultation in future legal matters. A+
Pros: immense capacity for understanding the human condition
