I was a 45-year-old male, husband, father of 3, an active community volunteer employed as a municipal worker reading utilities when I received a career ending injury. Due to my injury caused by homeowner property neglect and improper placement of a manufacturer-reading device, I was forced to retire receiving only half of my annual earnings for the rest of my life. Feeling let down & cheated, I was introduced to Kenneth Busman. He was able to pursue my difficult Personal Injury case in a positive way. His compassionate, proactive attitude-- spending many hours and not taking no for an answer-- resulted in a positive mediation settlement. My family and I were extremely happy with both the experience and the outcome of working with Mr. Busman.

About 10 years ago, a friend recommended Mr. Busman to me as the best lawyer in the scope of his practice. He has worked for me on two (2) very difficult Personal Injury cases. Thanks to his knowledge and his mastery of Personal Injury Law, he managed to resolve these cases with a high level of success. Mr. Busman's dedication and loyalty to me were unbelievable! Despite difficult obstacles created by the defense lawyers in their attempts to derail and dismantle each of my cases, he swiftly counteracted them and vigorously advocated on my behalf.
Mr. Busman was also prompt in responding to my inquiries, but what amazed me the most, was his tenacity and confidence in solving complex problems associated with difficult issues.
I recommend Mr. Busman to everybody I know, because he is a high-caliber lawyer, a true professional, and the best kept secret in the scope of his Personal Injury practice.

Mr. Busman represented me when I had cause to contact him after a trip and fall accident. I called upon him to help me after an accident that I incurred on a raised stone walkway at the entrance of a public building. My injury was serious and I required surgery and a long period of physical therapy. Mr. Busman's expertise in understanding the nature of the case was met successfully with his broad knowledge of Personal Injury Law.
In the course of getting ready for a planned mediation, Mr. Busman was a compelling advocate. He always responded to my frequent telephone calls about the law and the procedures that needed to be followed. I was thoroughly convinced that he had considered and attended to all aspects of the suit against the insurance company. Although my accident occurred in an obviously hazardous area, there were written and oral demands that needed careful attention and he was tenacious in pursuing my claim... I received excellent legal advice in a most provident manner that resulted in a meaningful and satisfactory settlement.
Ken won my case without the stress or strain that would have impacted my healing process. I was impressed and at ease with the way the legalities were handled from start to finish. Mr. Busman's personal and professional manner is beyond reproach; he is honest and trustworthy and I recommend Mr. Busman for those who need the assistance and support of a Personal Injury Attorney.

Dear Ken and Letty,
Thank you for moving the mountain against all odds and without time on your side. I know there was a tremendous amount of work to do in a short amount of time. One might say "well, it's our job, etc.," and while I understand that I paid for your legal services, it's not every day that professionals do the job they are paid to do and simultaneously offer their genuine compassion and steely patience.
I came to your office last week as a stranger who needed proper counseling and aptitude for what the job would require. Lucky me that I ended up with that, plus two people I now consider friends.
Thank you for putting my needs at the top of the priority list. I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
Please feel free to add my words to your testimonials.
With gratitude for your kindness,

After years of struggling with the financial implications of a divorce, I was referred to Ken Busman. From the very first meeting, Mr. Busman explained the journey of filing Bankruptcy in a clear and concise manner. Mr. Busman returns phone calls expeditiously and even contacted me when it was important to ensure I was on task with collecting the multitude of required documents.
He exhibited a level of care that I am sure cannot be surpassed by other attorneys. Moreover, he helped to ease the stress of a very daunting, complex, and humiliating experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is trying to rebuild their financial life.

You were referred to my wife and I by Longview & Associates, a referral service provided by my wife's employer. This was the most difficult time in my life and from our first meeting, you tried to reassure me that this wasn't the end of the world....that I wasn't a "bad" person because I had to file Bankruptcy.
You not only knew the laws and expedited the process quite quickly, but you provided an emotional support as well. I truly felt that you cared about what I was going through.
So not only do I thank you for your legal expertise, I thank you for the emotional support you gave me. You saw a broken man when I came in your office and you did and said whatever you could to help me get through this most devastating time in my life. I am forever grateful.
John M., Mahopac, NY
I was struggling with the financial ramifications of a divorce. It was difficult paying my bills on one income and I found myself falling into a financial hole. I was fortunate to be referred to Mr. Busman through my employee assistance program.
Mr. Busman's thorough, consistent, and supportive advice guided me through the entire Bankruptcy process. His representation made a very stressful and confusing process clear and concise. Through it all, I was able to retain valuable possessions that I worked very hard for -- like my vehicle and time share property.
I am grateful to Mr. Busman for all his help and look forward to starting this new chapter in my life.

My husband and I were recommended to Ken Busman two (2) years ago. We were more than $100,000.00 in debt and after dealing with cancer, and the stress of collectors calling, we decided it was in our best interest to file for Bankruptcy. It was the hardest decision of our lives to make.
Ken was very supportive and very informative, always keeping us abreast of new and/or changing Bankruptcy Laws, and always steering us in the right direction. He is a very responsive attorney who always returned our calls and still, to this day, checks in on us to see how we are coming along with our new lives.
We had great success. Although we didn't own a home, we were still able to keep our cars, retirement, etc. Ken was our "Savior",our "Angel", as we call him all the time. We have recommended him to several people and wouldn't hesitate to retain him again.

Dear Mr. Busman:
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your expertise and professionalism in the handling of my bankruptcy case. As you know, I came to you in a drastic state of impending financial doom - about to lose my home, receiving constant telephone calls from creditors and experiencing stress related illnesses as a result of all the bills I was no longer able to pay.
Your competency in interpreting and applying the new bankruptcy laws, as well as your attention to detail in processing my case resulted in my being freed of the crushing unsecured debt I had and allowed me to keep my home.
The debts I had accumulated due to a series of misfortunes and miscalculations on my part had been causing unbearable upset in my life. I am deeply grateful to you for your ongoing responsiveness to my needs, as well as the care you took to address my numerous questions and myriad telephone calls. Additionally, your grasp of the complexity of my particular situation and your ability to navigate the Court system to achieve success on my behalf was remarkable.
I really was fortunate that when at the end of my rope, a friend recommended your services to me! Again, thank you so much for all your help.
Yours truly,
Teresa L.,

Recently, we retained Kenneth Busman to represent us in our bankruptcy. We felt that our case was going to be complicated because thebankruptcy laws had recently been changed and we were afraid that we could lose our home, cars and personal belongings.
At our first meeting, we were impressed with Mr. Busman's knowledge of the new bankruptcy laws and how they would affect our case. He began work immediately with a list of all of the documentation we would need. We had to call many times to make sure that we were providing the proper supporting documentation and Mr. Busman was always very responsive, clear and showed a great deal of compassion in making sure we were on the right path.
As the new bankruptcy laws are difficult to navigate, Mr. Busman had the expertise necessary to lead us through the maze of paperwork. We felt assured that all of our concerns were being resolved.
In the end, we were able to keep our home and car, and successfully had our debts discharged. Kenneth Busman was extremely attentive to our case and was personally available for all of our court hearings.
We were very pleased with the fact that Kenneth Busman was instrumental in us achieving all of our goals. Our bankruptcy was not just the end of an untenable time but, the beginning of a new life.

Dear Ken:
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for paving the way for me to be given a second chance to rebuild a sound financial situation for myself and my three children. I am a single mother, and due to my divorce and some bad decisions on my part, I found myself in a situation that was “unfixable.”
After that first phone call, I felt more positive and hopeful that with your guidance, I could be debt-free and still be able to remain in my home with my children. We met not long after that phone call, and it has been a stress-free and comfortable experience for me to work with you. You are truly knowledgeable, thorough, and compassionate.
Now I can put my feet back on the ground and move forward with a clean slate. My children will be able to remain in their home, and will have a mom who can smile again and appreciate the little things that I haven’t “seen” in a long time.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You guided me on a path that has unlocked the door to a brighter future for my family.

Mr. Busman recently represented me in a Divorce Action and he successfully helped me attain a fair and equitable distribution of Marital Assets.
Mr. Busman has always been accessible and responsive to my telephone calls, often returning calls after his regular office hours -- and on several occasions, during weekends.
I felt Mr. Busman paid close attention to my case, resolving any issues I raised, fully explaining issues -- both pro and con -- in an understandable manner without too much legalese.
Mr. Busman pursued my case in an aggressive manner by skillfully using the applicable law and facts of my case to refute his opponents position.
I consider my dealings with Mr. Busman to be fair and very successful. His reasonable fees and attention to details resulted in the successful outcome of my case and my deep satisfaction.
I have had many dealings with attorneys in the past, but none have been as competent as Mr. Busman.
I highly recommend Mr. Busman to anyone who is in need of a matrimonial attorney.
John S., Sloatsburg, NY
Over a period of twelve (12) years, Kenneth Busman has represented me in Family Court, and most recently, during a Divorce Proceeding which centered on Equitable Distribution of marital property.
In Family Court, he was instrumental in helping me attain a Court Order for Child Support from a "deadbeat" dad and an Order of Protection. With his help, I received three times the amount her father wanted to pay and $10,000 in arrears payments. To this day, people can't believe the amount of Child Support I receive for 1 child!
Several years later, I retained Mr. Busman to represent me during a very bitter Divorce. My ex-husband liquidated our joint bank account and refused to pay anything towards our mortgage or the debts that were incurred during the marriage. To make matters worse, he and his attorney demanded that I either buy him out for $70,000 or simply sell the house. They were like two vultures!
I am so thankful that I had Mr. Busman on my side. His forceful advocacy and attention to detail resulted in me keeping my house with a buy-out of only $15,000.
He was and is my "Guardian Angel." I highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal counsel.
