What Our Clients Say
“Ford & Semach, P.A., represented me in a personal Chapter 11 bankruptcy, as well as a business Chapter 11 bankruptcy on my hotel. I am extremely pleased with the results obtained. On my hotel alone, the mortgage was reset to substantially lower my monthly mortgage payment, to a 25-year mortgage with no balloon payment. The firm also filed objections to claims of certain creditors, and those claims were ultimately disallowed. I would recommend Ford & Semach, P.A., to anyone seeking a fresh start in their business ventures, or even personally.” – Ali Benjamaa
“I have been working with the office on my bankruptcy case for quite some time and was thrilled with my results. Mr. Ford has been working with clients for years and came highly recommended to me and I would recommend him to anyone who needs competent representation in complex debt matters.” – Marcial Solorzano
