Testimonials
“I HAD AN ABSOLUTELY wonderful experience working with Kenny and the entire staff, especially Jessica Barlow. Kenny and Jessica were there for me every step of the way and were quick and happy to answer the several questions I had throughout the process. They are highly knowledgeable and made everything easy and less stressful than I could’ve imagined. Literally everyone in this company is friendly with a good sense of humor to boot. I highly recommend Steidl and Steinberg to anyone having to go through the difficult process of bankruptcy.”
“THE BEST They helped me every step. My nerves were shot, always worried, Attorney Chris Frye saved my life. Thank You.”
“I SAW JULIE AND SHE LISTENED and did not judge me. She answered questions via email after giving me a list of things I had to do. It was the most stressful thing I had gone through in a while. She even said to call in a year and she would tell me how to rebuild my credit. I thought the hearing would be worse but after meeting Ken Steidl, I instantly felt reassured. Glad I did this.”
“ABSOLUTELY THE BEST attorney I have ever dealt with. Kenny Steinberg, thank you very much for being the professional that you are.”
“FROM BEGINNING TO END the office of Steidl & Steinberg has been nothing short of perfect. It absolutely shocked me that the first call I received after filling out the online Contact Us field, was from Ken Steidl. His words assured my wife and I that there was an opportunity to get back to a “normal life” free of debt collectors. From there, Lauren Lamb was phenomenal in handling our case, answering every question we could possibly ask. From beginning to end, the office of Steidl & Steinberg was nothing short of perfect. FIVE STARS.”
“WE WANT TO THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for all the help you provided us in our time of financial problems! You and your staff in Pittsburgh were so great to work with! If we ever hear of someone who needs your help we will highly recommend your firm! Thank you again.”
“WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I decided to choose bankruptcy, it was a very difficult, scary and none the less embarrassing decision. Then we met Kenny and his wonderful team, we were met with nothing but understanding and compassion. Kenny walked us through the process in a very honest manner and reassured us along the way. He and his team made the process very easy and relatively stress free. We would recommend them to anyone needing these services.”
“I AM SO GLAD I hooked up with Steidl & Steinberg to handle my bankruptcy case. Abby Steidl, my lawyer, made me feel comfortable and confident that she had it under control and the outcome would be 100% in my favor, which it was. I would definitely use them again and recommend them. Abby and her team of lawyers are experts in their field of practice.”
“I WAS REPRESENTED BY KENNY STEINBERG. He was a great guy to work with and made me feel very comfortable at my free consultation and did a great job representing me. When I had a question six months later he was very prompt at getting back to me. I would recommend Steidl and Steinberg to anyone looking to clear away debt.”
“HE HAS COMPASSION. That would be the first thought that comes to mind when I think about Ken Steidl and the work he has done for me in my bankruptcy filing. Add a quirky sense of humor and a thorough knowledge of bankruptcy law (he knew more than the court people who were working on the case), and there you have it. My bankruptcy filing was very smooth, and thanks to Ken and his paralegals went without a hitch. I don’t need to tell anyone that filing for bankruptcy can be stressful. It need not be. Call these gentlemen. You won’t be sorry.”
“WE ALL MAKE UNWISE DECISIONS IN LIFE. Things spiral out of control and we get over our head in debt trying to make ends meet. Sometimes you have to give in and seek help and I am so glad I did. The Law Office of Steidl & Steinberg was the best thing that happened to me when I needed them the most. They were the listening ear. They didn’t judge. They assisted me in getting my life back on track and, yes, I did need to make a major financial decision. I am debt free and new start has begun. I have started building myself back up, knowing how to make better choices. They are the best at what they do. You can hold your head up high and know they are there for you, step by step, all the way. I cannot thank them enough.”
“WE JUST HAD SOME QUESTIONS about which direction to take and Kenny was willing to sit down with us free of charge. He is fantastic and I highly recommend making an appointment, even if you just have a few questions!”
“THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I can’t thank Steidl & Steinberg enough for all of their help during my bankruptcy. I had many preconceptions about bankruptcy and most were not good. I was in a very bad place financially following a divorce. I visited Kenny Steinberg to ask questions about bankruptcy. He was honest, helpful, and actually put a smile on my face for the first time in months as he can be quite animated. I decided on filing for bankruptcy for my life situation because working two jobs and missing being a mother was not working for me any longer. I was helped throughout the process by Kenny and his staff and I never felt stressed, which is amazing because I thought bankruptcy and stress were synonymous. I think Kenny believes in what he does, I believe he helps people become more financially stable and not just with money, he actually cares about the life I live. Thank you for giving me the help I needed to relieve the huge burden I was left with after my divorce. Thank you, Kenny, for being a caring person and to your professional staff for making this process easy. It was the right choice for me and my life.”
“STEIDL & STEINBERG and their Paralegals are the best in the business!

“FEELING AS THOUGH I AM BURIED IN A NIGHTMARE SITUATION I consulted with Kenny Steinberg at the Erie office. He is a warm and caring man, the nicest guy ever, who made me comfortable right away and explained my options fully and concisely. He truly cares about his clients, and I could tell that right off the bat. He didn’t use a bunch of legalese, just gave me solid, down-to-earth advice. It is a great relief to me to know there is light at the end of the tunnel I’ve been suffocating in for years. I’d recommend Mr. Steinberg to anyone with debt problems. His services are affordable and he’s sincere in wanting to help you.”

“I REALLY ENJOYED MEETING WITH KEN STEIDL. He gave me great relief and I knew immediately I could trust him. He is understanding and not at all judgmental. You never think you will be in this situation at this point in life, but attempting to live normally and keep up with friends becomes impossible. I feel very foolish, but I am confident Ken can help me, which I greatly appreciate.”
“MR. KEN STEIDL, ABBY STEIDL AND THEIR TEAM were a life saver for us. We became overburdened by debt because of jobs being eliminated and we were both laid off at same time. We just didn’t know what to do. Then my husband went to talk to Mr. Steidl, and he made us feel a lot better after talking to him. He didn’t make us feel uncomfortable or awkward. When we went to our hearing his daughter Abby knew we were nervous wrecks and kept reassuring us everything would be alright. I can’t thank them enough for realizing people are human with feelings and sometimes fall on hard times. They were very professional and prompt and kept us updated on everything going on and if we had any questions we just called and they got right back to us with answers. I can not express it enough, if you are drowning in debt due to unforeseen problems please go see them. It only takes a few minutes of your time to help you figure out your situation and decide what is the best road to take.”

I am sure that Steidl and Steinberg are extremely happy to have her as part of their team.”
“I WANT TO THANK Julie Steidl for helping me through this whole bankruptcy thing. She is one of the nicest people that I have met. She was always there when you needed her. They are one of the best law firms in Pittsburgh. Thank you Julie for being there for me to talk to. If anyone needs to do a bankruptcy call Steidl and Steinberg. Julie Steidl you are the best.”

“I CALLED STEIDL & STEINBERG and spoke with Mr Steinberg on the phone regarding a credit card debt issue. We only spoke for a few minutes but he clearly explained my options, clarified the situation and I am clear on what I have to do. There was no charge! And he is a very nice man – easy to talk to. If I have any future problems (which I don’t plan on having!) I will definitely go to this law firm.”

“KENNY STEINBERG, I want to thank you for handling my bankruptcy case. I had met with three other attorneys but not one of them were as considerate and thorough as you were with my consultation. I am so grateful that my husband saw your ad on TV and suggested we talk with you. You have a way of not making people who run into hardships and can’t pay their debts not feel ashamed. You are not about the money, you have a real caring way and attitude about your clients. You make yourself available to your clients which means a lot to them when they are dealing with such a difficult time in their lives. You really get the job done. I will refer you to anyone who is in need of an attorney in your field. We could not have hired a better attorney than you.””

We are not bad people, just a little overextended.”
“THANK YOU VERY MUCHI haven’t had many attorneys but your ability and time of response is impeccable and I would refer you guys to anyone. In fact, I have referred you to two people so far. Thank you so much again.”
“HAVING TO CLAIM BANKRUPTCY was a very difficult decision that we had to make after trying desperately to keep on top of things, and realized we had no other choice. We were not sure how to proceed or what would even happen but, after the consultation with Kenny Steinberg, we were put so much at ease and able to see an end to the tunnel we were in. And Ken Steidl always answered any questions promptly that we had and guided us through what would have been a hard time. We can finally breathe without the crushing weight we were feeling.

Congratulations, you have a great future ahead!”
“I JUST WANT TO SAY on the 1 year “anniversary” of everything, that I can’t thank you and all the people at Steidl and Steinberg enough for the peace of mind I have had for the past year.

“WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK you for all of your help, advice, and support. Like so many people in this world, declaring bankruptcy was the last thing we thought we would ever have to do. We resisted for a long time before we made the decision to go through with it and struggled so hard along the way. With your guidance, the process was much easier than we thought. Now, we have a chance to start over to build a better financial life. God bless you and thank you again for your assistance.”
“YOU HAVE BEEN A WEALTH OF INFORMATION and I can’t thank you enough!! There are so many things that need done to our house that we don’t have the money to do. We could use new windows and insulation, gutters, a new bathroom, landscaping. Or we could move to a nicer neighborhood. On the flip side, it would be nice to pay these bills and have the phone stop ringing! So much to think about…”
“THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. My circumstances were dire and seemed hopeless when I first decided to contact you. I was wrapped up in debt, worry, shame and confusion. From the first meeting on, my bankruptcy was handled with compassion, diligence and professionalism. Thank you for the patience, understanding, dedication and kindness shown throughout the Chapter 7 process.”
“I HAVE SEEN YOUR AD ON TV for many years. I encountered a back taxes situation with the IRS claiming I owed them $160,000. I contacted Steidl and Steinberg and met in person with Nathan Chase. He thoroughly reviewed my situation and then followed up with realistic options. Unlike the folks on TV he did not promise unrealistic options. He was able to save me over $80,000 on my tax bill with more savings occurring in the future. I am glad I kept it local. Nathan follows up me as needed, and if we need to meet we can do so in person!”
“I AM JUST WRITING TO SAY thank you for your assistance in my bankruptcy case. It was a difficult decision to come to but you made the process extremely easy and less stressful.”
“THANK YOU FOR BEING SO KIND TO ME when I called you with all kind of questions. would you please thank Mr. Steinberg for giving me a new life. I am out of trouble now and I am going to stay out of trouble.”

We are glad it is behind us, now we can breathe somewhat and continue to improve on what we have learned. Please extend our thanks to you staff, they also do a great job!”
“WHEN I DECIDED I HAD TO APPLY for bankruptcy I thought ‘Oh my God what have I done?’ But after meeting with Kenny and dealing with the employees of the firm I could not be more happier that I chose them to represent me. Everyone was so nice and took time to answer questions and make you feel comfortable about the bankruptcy. I have and will continue to recommend the firm to anyone who needs the help. Thank you again!”
“THANK YOU SO MUCH for your generous help during my difficult time. You were so very special and the other Kenny was great/ I loved Leslie as she was so very helpful throughout.”
“THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING so quickly. I actually submitted a request for someone to contact me from another office two weeks ago and still haven’t heard anything, so I definitely appreciate how quickly you got back to me. I think we can go ahead and schedule a consultation.”
“I CAN’T THANK YOU enough for walking me through everything.”

“I JUST WANT TO THANK you and Tom and your staff for the follow through with the county assessment appeal. It is a big help!”
“I WAS HAVING AN ISSUE with a debt collector harassing me day and night. I made a call at 4:50 p.m. The receptionist took my name and number and said an attorney would contact me this evening. At approximately 6:00 p.m. I got a call from Kenny Steinberg himself. At first I was shocked to actually get a call from the guy on the commercial. I told him my situation and he actually told me I had nothing to worry about and that he didn’t want to take my money for something that was not needed. It was amazing that this guy who I am sure is very busy called me back at 6:00 p.m. and spoke with me about this, and the he didn’t want me to spend money talking to an attorney. Thank you Kenny.”
“SINCE IT IS ALL OVER regarding our bankruptcy I want to tell you how much I appreciated your honesty and straightforwardness. When we first met with you regarding filing bankruptcy you were clear, concise and spoke to us in a manner which we understood. It was so clear I often felt there was something hidden that was going to jump out and bite us. We had questions during the five-year period and again, you always returned our calls and answered our questions. It seemed as if our case was the only case you had on your desk. I never had to refresh your memory; you knew everything that pertained to us. Everything was transparent making us more nervous. As I reflect, I want you to know that I am certain you took great care in explaining the process, the costs, the beginning, middle and end. You never wavered on one issue. You made us feel as if you truly cared about us. You were thorough and honest. With all the questions I had in between, you answered and never made me feel like a bother. I hold you in the highest regard as a lawyer, a man, and with the way you took care of us, a friend. Thank you for making the very best out of our bad situation. Your counsel was priceless and your compassion was heartfelt.”
“JULIE, WE WANT TO THANK YOU for all you did during the past five years. It was a stressful time for us and you were always the voice of calm. We know that you and your colleagues went above and beyond in providing excellent service for us.”
“THANK YOU FOR MEETING WITH US. I am sure you have probably heard this a million times, it is such a huge relief and weight lifted off of our shoulders. It is not a position we chose to be in, however, it is where we are. Thank you again for your help.”
