About Susan
Biography
I have devoted my private practice to bankruptcy law. For many, bankruptcy is a traumatic experience. However, it is much more common than you may think. I can help you determine what your options are when facing foreclosure, garnishment, or receiving seemingly endless letters and phone calls from creditors.
At my firm, I will give you the information you need so that you may make informed decisions. I will work directly with you and personally attend to your case from the initial consultation through to the discharge of your bankruptcy case.
I serve as bankruptcy counsel for those in Bergen, Essex, Passaic and Hudson counties. If you are considering bankruptcy, contact me so that we may discuss your options.
