Excellence in Bankruptcy Law
The two principals of our firm, Thomas Genova and Andrea B. Malin, have a detailed and thorough understanding of the Bankruptcy Code. Ms. Malin is a past president of the Mid-Hudson Bankruptcy Bar Association. Thomas Genova serves as a court-appointed trustee at the bankruptcy court near Poughkeepsie.
Obviously, Mr. Genova does not serve as a trustee in cases in which our firm represents a client. But he is allowed to represent bankruptcy clients for cases in which he is not involved as a trustee. Read more about what a bankruptcy trustee does on our " what to expect in bankruptcy" page. Mr. Genova's in-depth understanding of the trustee's position in a bankruptcy filing is invaluable to our bankruptcy clients.
New York Bankruptcy Lawyers Serving a Five-County Area From White Plains to Albany, Including Poughkeepsie, Newburgh, Middletown and Kingston
We help consumers who are swamped with debt — and who don't have significant assets to protect — to file for liquidation bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the federal Bankruptcy Code, giving them a fresh financial start. We help consumers with significant assets that they would like to keep — such as a home — to file under Chapter 13 for a court-supervised debt repayment plan. With a source of income and a manageable plan, our Chapter 13 clients can get back on their feet financially, generally within three to five years. Finally, we help financially troubled businesses to get breathing space from creditors through a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization that can restore their viability and vitality.
Many of our bankruptcy clients face the prospect of foreclosure in addition to other debt problems. We are well versed in foreclosure options and real estate assets in bankruptcy. A bankruptcy cannot remove the lien on a property that is part of a mortgage. Therefore, debtors who seek to keep their homes when filing bankruptcies need advice from an attorney who can put all options into clear focus with respect to particular debt scenarios. Contact us to discuss any of the following foreclosure options:
- Loan modification
- Foreclosure defense
- Short sales
- Keep the home through Chapter 13 bankruptcy
