Mr. Korotkin has been awesome since the first day I contacted him regarding my bankruptcy over 2 years ago. He has been very reasonable, very responsive, and got things done as quick as I could do my part getting him what he needed from me. I filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and the whole process was seamless. He made it very easy to understand what's going on, and very easy to provide him what I needed to provide to get it done. I had a garnishment from a judgement I had when I was an irresponsible 19 year old 17 years prior that came back to haunt me at that time. Since then, I had 2 creditors

Hiring Alexander Korotkin to represent me was one of the best decisions I've made. During a very difficult time in my life, I was faced with court hearings to determine child custody. It was a complex, emotional, and confusing time for me. Alexander was a source of knowledge, calmness and clarity. He navigated me through what seemed like a storm of impossible decisions with compassion and clear choices. I witnessed countless attorneys express their respect for Alexander, who sought his opinion and guidance while we were seated in the waiting room at court. He always responded in a timely manner

My experience with Alex has been nothing but positive. He is very knowledgeable in his areas of expertise and helped me immensely with my very contentious divorce. Alex is truly professional and will look out for his clients and maximize their position wherever possible; and he does this without sacrificing his values. The focus is always on what's pertinent to the case, not what muddies the water, and is done without any kind of bias. There are many lawyers out there who will take your case and mislead you because income is their motivating factor, but not Alex. Alex cares about his clients needs

Alexander Korotikin is a true credit to his profession. Mr. Korotkin was a strong advocate for my rights. The representation, and professional advice he provided me truly made a huge difference in the outcome of my case. He took my case when almost nobody else would, and treated me with dignity and respect. I would advise anyone who needs a good lawyer, and good person on their side, to hire Mr. Korotkin. He is not just a lawyer, he truly cares about the people he represents.
