If you are reading this, you most likely already believe that you are experiencing financial difficulties. In my 20+ years as a Long Island Bankruptcy Lawyer, I have learned that each individual I have assisted had reached a “breaking point” – that event that triggered the need to seek counsel. If you feel you are at that point, I encourage you to contact me to find out if either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection is available to you. My initial consultations are always free. The value of the consultation could be priceless.
