We are one of the largest consumer bankruptcy law firms in New York State. Our team of bankruptcy attorneys and support staff has filed more than 15,000 Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases throughout Western and Central New York. A significant portion of our new clients are referred to us from prior satisfied clients. Unlike most law firms that try to practice in a number of different legal fields, our firm handles only bankruptcy cases. We constantly strive to keep pace with the rapid changes in the field of bankruptcy law to make sure that our clients always receive the prompt, accurate legal advice they deserve. We promote effective strategies that maximize your bankruptcy exemptions and allow you to protect assets from creditors. We also handle difficult higher income cases in which means testing considerations will directly determine how much debt you can eliminate

Although bankruptcy is an easy process for the vast majority of people, that does not mean the average “general practice” lawyer should handle your bankruptcy case. Bankruptcy is a true specialty, and we believe that there are very few lawyers in all of Western New York that truly have enough experience and knowledge to handle every type of bankruptcy case. This is because what should be an easy case can quickly become a very messy case if your bankruptcy lawyer does not ask the right questions. For example, if you have recently repaid a family member of friend money and file the bankruptcy case too soon, the trustee appointed to your case might go after that person to recover the money you just paid them. another scenario that clients face if they hire the wrong lawyer is being forced to turn over their tax refund if the wrong bankruptcy is filed or the case is filed at the wrong time of year. You should NEVER be put into a bankruptcy case where any of your assets are at risk, but we have seen countless cases where other bankruptcy lawyers have given poor advice that has hurt their client. This doesn’t mean the lawyer did not care. It simply means the lawyer did not have enough experience or knowledge to spot the issue before the case was filed.

We ask the right questions and give the right advice. Whether your case is easy or difficult, we will guide you through it with wisdom and strength.
