A bit about us: We're a well-established debt relief and bankruptcy firm serving Long Island and New York City, with five offices across Suffolk, Nassau, Queens, and Brooklyn. For over three decades we've focused exclusively on one thing: helping individuals and businesses get out from under debt. Our practice spans Chapter 7, 13, and 11 (including Subchapter V), foreclosure defense, debt negotiation, and litigation defense. With a team of 25+ legal professionals across five focused departments, we run a high-volume, client-first practice where attorneys actually get into court instead of pushing paper.

Why join us?

You'll handle real cases from day one with the support of an experienced team behind you. We file fast, litigate aggressively, and give attorneys ownership of their matters rather than burying them in a single narrow task. Five departments under one roof means you can build genuine expertise across bankruptcy, negotiation, and litigation. Daytime and evening hours, multiple office locations, and a steady pipeline of work make this a place to grow a durable practice, not grind anonymously.
