Biography
With over three decades of experience, I specialize in representing individuals and small businesses in the Hudson Valley area of New York before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. My legal practice focuses exclusively on bankruptcy cases falling under chapters 7, 11, 12, and 13 of the Bankruptcy Code. Throughout my career, I have aided numerous clients facing challenges with mortgage holders, credit card banks, and car lenders, striving to secure fair treatment on their behalf. I have a track record of safeguarding clients against predatory practices by mortgage companies, addressing issues related to mortgage appraisal fraud and lending fraud. Moreover, I have successfully navigated several intricate chapter 11 business reorganization cases, including the restructuring of secured debts for various real estate ventures, a rural community hospital, a government contracting firm, and a group of funeral homes. I place great emphasis on building strong relationships with my clients and recognize the importance of empathizing with the stress that often accompanies financial hardships. For me, bankruptcy represents an opportunity for a fresh start, and I am committed to providing comprehensive legal support that goes beyond mere case resolution. I approach each client and case individually, acknowledging their unique circumstances and ensuring tailored legal representation that meets their specific needs.
