This process took a year because I was slow in paying for the service in it's entirety. Nic Wajda and his staff were completely professional the entire time. When it finally came to filing and court everything went perfectly. I'd recommend this firm to anyone. read more

The update, the matter was resolved. Outcome went well. Just took a lot longer than i wished. But overall pleased.

I highly recommend Wajda Law Group. Filing bankruptcy is stressful and the firm made it a smooth process from filing through discharge. I was always able to get a response either through email or returned phone call. I am beyond happy with my experience. read more

From the beginning it was a very frustrating experience with them. Their process wasn't explained up front. If it had, I would have gone somewhere else. A month after I hired them I got a text asking where's the required documents were. No one asked me for documents. Then I'd upload documents or email them and they'd say they hadn't been received. This happened continuously over four months and is still ongoing. A lot of incompetence there. read more

I started a bankruptcy with them in 2023. I paid the retainer. They strung me along for almost a year. After giving all my information and taking the required course they told me I have to file chapter 13 due to having assets. They wanted me to sell my newer car. I can't do that. I agreed to file. I signed the contract in good faith. I was not told that I would have to send in all new Information and take the credit counseling course all over. They strung me along for another 3 months. This company is being sanctioned and has terrible reviews. I just found out that I can do my bankruptcy through the court and bypass using a lawyer. I am extremely unhappy. I am not going to pursue using them. They took my money and its over 2 years now with no results. Do not use this company for anything. No stars for Wajda Law Group.​ read more

Client beware . Volume chapter 7. Paid in full when I hired this law group in August 2025. They've had me sending multiple documentations. I spoke with a paralegal In october 2025 and I've yet to speak with a filing attorney. This law group will not work for you expeditiously. If you don't want to stress or worry hire another firm. I'm still waiting and their still going in circles asking for documents i've sent multiple times. And still haven't filed. #StayAway read more

For the past 1+years I have been collecting info, uploading info, finding all the docs needed, etc. to get my bankruptcy case going. I spent $1800 and countless hours of my time to get everything rolling only to now be told that I have too much equity in my house and make too much to file. Why wasn't this discussed at the start? Why was not only my time and money but also your time and money wasted? I called to get a refund since I got nothing out of this whole experience and was basically told too bad and that out of the 1800 I could only get 300 back. This is absolutely disgusting that your company is out here basically stealing money off of people already struggling. Now I have multiple cards in collections and a few court cases against me and literally nothing I can do about any of them. You did nothing but make me further in the hole that I now have to dig myself out of. I will make sure that I let as many people know as possible so that they are all aware of how you do business before they sign up. read more

Started dec 17th 2024 paid $1,950 to obtain an attorney fast forward Oct 2025 im paid in full. I was being asked there after every month to send in bank statements and car statements for financing my vehicle. Recovery law also wanted my wife's bank statements. I was the one filing not her. Fast forward April 8th, 2026 I obtained a knew Attorney thru recovery law center in my Area. To only be ignored when it came time to file. Meanwhile let's back up . I first and foremost was not able to even file a chapter 7 bankruptcy due to the fact I had to wait 8 years to file from my previous one. I filed for a refund which I was given back half of the $1,950 its still pending with $300 of it being repressed due to lack of funding? Plus I got a $30 over draft fee due to the fact your check bounced in my account. I want my money back you will be hearing from me. If I don't get money back for lack of services I will take legal action into my own hands against recovery law. read more

I highly recommend Wajda Law Group. The process was smooth for me. I read some negative reviews which made me nervous, but what I found were individuals who either began paying creditors, (which I was told not to do and didn't) or did not get the required documents to the lawyers by deadlines. Also, you may need to leave a message at times, but they always called me back. They answered my questions, followed up and were nothing but courteous. My advice is to keep your bank records and other documents in order because you do need to update as you go along. The retainer fee was affordable as I was able to make payments. Also, there were a few creditors who violated the no contact rule and Wajda took remedial action against them. Thank you Nick for all you have done. read more

5 stars!!! Wajda Law Group was very professional, efficient, and understanding. Did a great job on my bankruptcy case, always there to help me understand the process, being I am a senior citizen they were very patient, and caring. read more

I'd give a big fat ZERO, if I could! This has been an ongoing nightmare for over 2 years! Do yourself a favor and find a different lawyer! They are difficult to contact, difficult to deal with, and they do not return calls! God forbid you react to their lack of professionalism. They hide behind the statement "I am trying to help you". That is a straight up LIE! They charge all kinds of money and you basically have to do their job for them (as if life isn't busy enough)! I will be posting as many reviews as possible! I hope it saves ANYONE from hiring a joke for a law firm! read more

I paid these people off in 2021, to file a bankruptcy, went through giving documents and resending documents twice. Now we are in 2025 they have not filed, or even called me to update me or even apologize. I finally called today and was told, of the 1700 dollars I paid them I could get back 300 and some change. I asked why, and was told they were being paid for the paperwork they had done minus filing. So, you want to be paid for doing the legwork but not for the services I paid for, then they tried to rush me into acknowledging an emailed cancellation notice to get less than a third of what I paid for not doing what the Wajda Law Group was paid to perform. I am very disappointed in the treatment I have received read more

Very horrible experience with this company who has been reported to the BBB and the ARDC. This "law group" never returned calls in a timely manner. You never spoke to the same person and I sent in all documents starting almost a year ago. This company is straight trash. BEWARE!!! read more

Solid process. Solid group of people helping you. Not the greatest thing to go through but if you do this is your group. Thank you guys!!!!

My last payment made on payment plan was march 17th. I started all this july of last year. At first I was happy now not so much there is no way a chapter 7 as easy as mine should be can take this long. Unfortunately this is not my first rodeo only my first time doing a payment plan. I've done everything asked! document after document, credit counseling appt prep 1 and prep 2! Prep 2 was finished on june 9th and a few days after that was asked for 2 more things which i did. My stuff still has not been sent over to a lawyer. crystal bahr read more

Extremely Disappointing Experience - Waste of Time and Unprofessional Behavior I am extremely disappointed with the experience I had during what was advertised as a free consultation. I spent nearly an hour providing all of my financial information to your intake representative, Latoya. However, when I finally spoke with the attorney named Nicholas Wajda he flatly told me he wasn't going to review my budget at all...not even a glance. He then dismissively stated, "We don't work for free." If that's the case, why even offer a "free consultation" if no real review or guidance is provided? I did not ask anyone to work for free--I expected a fair and respectful conversation, especially after giving so much personal information and time upfront. What's worse is the disrespectful tone and the implication that my time meant nothing. I can earn more money, but I can't get back my time. The entire experience felt like a bait-and-switch and left me feeling devalued and disrespected. I have heard too often that Black clients are treated differently or unfairly in situations like this--and unfortunately, my experience today felt like confirmation of that. I have never been late on a payment in my entire life, yet I was treated with disdain by someone I might have had to pay to represent me. This was unprofessional, unacceptable, and frankly gross. I will be reaching out to Ascend and would strongly encourage you to reconsider keeping this attorney as a representative of your firm. read more

5 stars! I was walked thru each step of my bankruptcy process, either by Mr. Wajda or one of his associates. Each person treated me with respect and answered all my questions from start to finish. Reasonably priced, was able to make payments. I was able to "appear" in court via zoom, which I was represented by his associate, it was quick and I was only asked a few basic questions. I highly recommend Mr. Nicholas Wajda. His whole staff was always very nice and professional, answering all my questions. I'm computer challenged and they were able to walk me thru any steps needed. Thank you! read more

As of right now I am not happy with this bankruptcy firm. Its been 2 years now and they still haven't filed my case. They got all the money and they keep coming up with excuses about not recieving documents after loading them up emailing them the documents and keep making excuse. its been two years and nothing. IDK if I am being scammed but these people are showing unprofessionalism and than get mad at me when I get frustrated with their poor service. read more

This is a total scam. I hired them in march 2023,as of march 2024 they STILL did not file my case with the court. I FIRED THEM march 26 (one year later) and hired a local attorney, Oh yeah, all i got back was the filing fee 338$ I hope you choke on the rest assholes, FUCK YOU ! See you in HELL read more

This place is a total scam. My husband and I tried to do our bankruptcy through them, and they were happy to take our money, but I can not get a response to emails, I call and they put me on hold for a long time and then it disconnects. We decided to get a refund, and they would only refund the $380 filing fee, and the rest of the $2,000 they kept for themselves, while doing nothing for our case. There is a reason they have terrible reviews, I would highly suggest looking elsewhere. read more

Don't use this guy unless you are prepared to wait 2 years for your bankruptcy to be filed, all the while sending never ending documents and repeatedly taking credit counseling courses which you will pay for. This firm sucks! I pulled myself out to get a real lawyer read more

Chapter 7 bankruptcy Update as of 10/05 it is almost a year I've started the process.. I received a call after my last review.. and was assured that the prior representation is not how the company runs nor their standards. It's been a year I've been made to take a class 2 times which is a cost to the client of its been over 6 months. I've been told several different things were in place and was required to send and resend the same documents to no avail I spoke with several people no one was on the same page or knew what was next when I finally made it to the Filing clerk he was very rude and chose to tell me how my life is ran. Then I was told they are doing my paperwork to file.. now they don't answer my calls nor respond to my email but I have paid $1700. They make you do all the leg work Mailing out your notices with your own money and still don't file. This is unacceptable. This is my fault because the flags were set in place and I tried to believe in second chance But I really had no chance Poor Customer Service representative cut me off rudely to answer what she assumed I wanted to know.. without properly listening she assumed she could read my mind through the phone..- All because I wanted to ask the attorney that gave me the consultation a few more questions.. Glad I didn't waisted my money read more

I retained this law firm (or so I thought) to handle my bankruptcy in Nov 2022. The reason I went with them instead of a local agency is because they stated they aggressively go after debt collectors who harass while in the bankruptcy process. This agency is 2 fold. You have Nicks group and Recovery Law that work together. Recovery Law is terrible. I was eligible to claim bankruptcy Jan of 2023. I am extremely prompt with documents. The issue is you dont know what documents you need until they schedule meeting with them. The meetings are drug out for months with no end in sight. Additionally they do not go after creditors. For the past 3 months I have sent them creditor harassment and nothing has been done. Now my credit union is illegally using cross collateralization to refuse payment for my vehicle. The car is up to date on payments. Recovery Law did send a cease letter to my bank. The bank laughed in their face because they know Recovery wont do anything. So now I am facing loosing my car that is paid up because Recovery isnt filing like they are suppose to be. I have left countless messages, no one has returned my calls. My paperwork should of been done weeks ago yet it has not been filed. Do not use this group they are horrible. And you cannot fire then they keep part of your money, They take advantage of poor people and should be ashamed. read more

Wadja, Nick and his staff have been over and above what I expected. Very kind and professional. I was in a situation where I had tried everything to pay my credit card debt and one unsecured loan. Everything came down hard and fast with increased rent, bills, and the quick rise of the cost of living. Nick and his staff understood my situation and my being on disability. I would recommend Wadja Law Group to anyone who needs a bankruptcy lawyer and a great staff to help them with any questions they might have. I trust them and I am very grateful for the time and help they have given me. I say give them a call so you can get back on your feet. read more

this law team is awesome! they go above and beyond! I am great full and thankful for everything they did for me and my family

I was told to paid the amount of $350 to start my credit report a paperwork. They told me the cost was $1813 for filling something that has not been done. All I wanted to know was how much was going to be my payment before filling. I only spoke to the lawyer twice for 5 minutes. I understand they have to charge something if some work as been done but not much was done since Augusts just me sending documents after documents. read more

Nick is condescending and arrogant! Paid $2,300 in 2019 to get help with ch13 bankruptcy. To date no help and creditors are still contacting me. I attempted to call Nick Wajda and was condescending and said he didn't have time and hung up on me. I called back and he placed me on hold. He told me "he was too busy that I need to spit it out". read more

I called for an appointment and a woman named Rhonda was an absolute rude bitch. She accused my husband and I of hiding our income, wouldn't let us finish our sentences and kept referring to her husband and his income and what he does with his income/salary! If this is the quality of people that work/represent this firm then its their culture in that office!! She treated us like shit!! Do not use this firm!! read more

I was super happy with Wajda Law. Upon consultation, I was explain the entire process of filing for bankruptcy and what to expect. I was also given an option to make payments that I ended up spreading over the course of a year until I was ready to file. This entire process was dealt with over the phone or through emails. It was very streamlined and not at all confusing. The attorney I dealt with was Lyndsey Kaiser and she was not only super helpful and informative but non judging. Any information you may need and all of the classes you have to take are supplied to you via email. And once you have to attend the final hearing, all of the information will be sent. The hearing that I attended was done over the phone and over within 45 minutes. I expected filing for bankruptcy would be excruciating, but was actually a very easy and only slightly stressful. I would highly recommend Wajda Law Group for filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy. read more

Horrible service, they take your money and completely ignore you, I have been paid in full for over a year now and can't get any help. All they did was take advantage of me and give me the run around. read more

I was filing for a very specific reason. And the person handling my case left that specific Debtor off the filing. But ensured me the whole time the Debt collection lawsuit would go away. I hired them because I don't know jack about filing. I was consequently let down by their oversight. It was also difficult to get a hold of anyone including the person "handling" my case. Now I have to settle. If I were to have done this process again, I would hire someone else to check their work. Or look elsewhere. read more

There was a lawsuit against Recovery law group and Nick Wajda was also included in the lawsuit as well the case no. Is 21-0218-dd in South Carolina " Order of sanctioning Recovery law group" filed on 3/16 /22 you can go on GovInfo.gov and read about the case honestly I wish I did my research before dealing with this place because in my opinion it's nothing but a scam I actually learned about this case after I gave this place my hard earned money as a single mom I wanted to file for bankruptcy and build but instead I was ripped off this review is actually a update on information I found about this so called business my advice for anyone .... find a local lawyer to help you because they will talk a good game to get your money then it's all games ,lies but they'll still try to get your money is spite of doing nothing I actually had to terminate my card and write them emails expressing again that I no longer wanted services from them and stop trying to get more money for non existent services PLEASE LOOK UP LAWSUIT on GovInfo.gov ..if I can warn others then my money being scammed from me isn't in vain plus I put negative reviews based on my experience on BBB ect.... read more

My father paid this company since June of last year with the understanding that they'd help him with filing bankruptcy so he wouldn't lose his home. His home gets sold at auction in the morning. When we called this morning the rude receptionist laughed and said "you have an outstanding balance of $413.00". She literally laughed. I'm so glad this company thinks taking a disabled veterans money just to sit back and watch him lose his home is funny. Do NOT recommend this company at all. read more

The process with Nicolas and his team was simple and smooth. Very pleased and would highly recommend them.

I had a great experience with Wajda Law Group. A special thank you to Michael Reid for his legal help when I was in a bad financial bind.

This place was unprofessional, well let's just say Mr Wajda was. He was not customer service friendly at all. I don't know if he was in a bad mood or what. He practically brushed and rushed me off the phone. He asked me to hold on. He never came back to the line. I held on for several minutes. I eventually hung up, as I knew he wasn't coming back. He seems as though he's short tempered, arrogant and rude. I take it as though he may have a Napoleon complex of sort. Anyhow, now his firm is demanding money from me. Since I cancelled my agreement. Unfortunately Mr Wadja and company. Those said payments can not be made. Maybe if Mr. Wadja will change his attitude. He'll probably have clients that are willing to make payments. Until then Nick Wadja please get it together!!! read more

My experience with Wajda Law Group (Nick) was great! Nick was very helpful and informative throughout my entire process. I was very nervous about filing for bankruptcy but he gave me reassurance and good advice. Now I'm free of debt... Thank you Nick!!! read more

At the beginning they were quick to respond. They indicated it should be 90days to finalize everything. Every time I asked for an update the generic answer or email has been send us all your bank and payroll for the last 60days. Well a few of my statements are only quarterly. I paid upfront in full $1,835.00 August 03, 2020. It is now Feb 23, 2021 and I've replied to three email addresses, and none are returning my emails, or giving me any updates. read more

I first had a consultation w/Nick which was free and I felt comfortable after talking to him. He explained how the bankruptcy process will work and always took my phone calls and emails. He had a very nice staff who were very helpful as well. I would not hesitate to procure his services again. Michael M read more

Nick and his firm are efficient, empathetic and very proficient in their work. After a very difficult divorce, Nick made a difficult situation easier and was always available to discuss the issues with me. Highly recommend them. read more
