  • Creditor Law

    We represent creditors only in their efforts to collect from debtors in bankruptcy proceedings.

  • General Civil Litigation

    Many of the cases we take do not fall neatly into any of the categories listed above. When a client has been wronged or cheated, we are always willing to listen and offer our assistance where appropriate. We do not take family law (divorce/child custody) cases or debtor bankruptcy cases, and seldom handle personal injury or criminal defense cases ; however, please do not hesitate to contact us for a referral to attorneys who do handle the kinds of cases we do not take.
