Areas of Practice

Injury and Contract disputes

Whether you run a theater, recording studio, or an eCommerce website, all businesses need to minimize their legal liability and risk. Our lawyers will assess the structure of your operation, such as its physical or digital space, the types of products you sell, who your consumers are, what type of company you have filed under (LLC, Inc, etc.), and so on. From there, we will tailor the right risk plan, complete with permit applications, insurance policies, and more, so you can worry less about liabilities and concentrate on growing your business.

Consumer Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code provides forgiveness of all your eligible debt. Some types of tax debt, secured debts, restitution, gambling debts, and a few others are usually exempted from the bankruptcy. There is a qualification process involving a means test, which we will discuss during your free consultation.

Municipality Bankruptcy

Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code provides for the reorganization of municipalities.  These include cities, towns, villages, counties, and even school districts.

People in business or individuals can also seek relief in chapter 11.
