I hired Arash Shirdel to handle my Chapter 7 bankruptcy during one of the most difficult times of my life. I had just lost my brother and was financially drained after supporting him for years, covering his funeral costs, and facing unemployment due to COVID. I was scared, vulnerable, and overwhelmed, and I hired Mr. Shirdel because he came recommended and seemed genuine. He promised to “hold my hand” through the process — but that promise was quickly broken. From the beginning, communication was poor. Every time I called, a different paralegal answered — it felt like there was no stable office or staff. Important documents were repeatedly lost, and I had to resend them multiple times. When it came time for the bankruptcy court call, Mr. Shirdel didn’t even respond right away. They had to call his name several times, and when he finally joined, he said almost nothing. Afterward, instead of reassuring me, he made me feel even more afraid. I lost sleep and had no clarity on what was happening. Despite my clear instructions that I wanted to keep my house and my car and continue making payments, Mr. Shirdel included both in the bankruptcy. As a result, even though I’ve made every payment on time for the past two years, neither my mortgage nor my car loan (Mercedes-Benz) is helping rebuild my credit because he didn’t properly exclude them. They continue to show as part of the bankruptcy and as derogatory items on my credit report. When I reached out repeatedly for help in correcting these major errors, Mr. Shirdel became unresponsive. When he did reply, his tone was unprofessional and dismissive. After two years, I am still dealing with the damage his mishandling of my case caused. I would not recommend Arash Shirdel to anyone going through bankruptcy. This is a time when you need support, transparency, and a lawyer who truly cares. Unfortunately, I received the opposite.

Absolutely phenomenal service and legal services. Highly recommended. 10 stars if it were possible.
