Mr. Abel helped my husband an I start a real estate investment LLC. He patiently walked us through the various documents, both state and federal, and did all of the filings on our behalf. It took all of the stress out of making sure we had everything we needed to get started. We recommend him highly!

I have known Al Abel for decades. I am a lawyer in the same community. I have frequently referred clients to him regarding bankruptcy or collection issues. He can offer clients alternatives to bankruptcy in certain situations and is very creative in his approach. He is extremely knowledgeable, approachable and willing to go the distance to win his cases. He is a stellar advocate and I will continue to refer clients to him in the future.
