Practice areas

ForeclosureLitigationBankruptcy and debt
  1. Bankruptcy and debt: 50%

    As a general bankruptcy practitioner, the majority of all cases filed are under chapter 7. As a result, this is the chapter of the bankruptcy code where I have handled the most cases. I would estimate I have represented both creditors and debtors in more than 2500 chapter 7 cases.

    39 years

  2. Litigation: 25%

    As a bankruptcy practitioner representing banks, credit unions, landlords, corporations and others, a large portion of our practice involves state and federal court business litigation.

    39 years

  3. Foreclosure: 25%

    As a creditors rights attorney we prosecute foreclosures for our bank, credit union and lender clients.

I endorse this lawyer. Mike is a well-respected and deeply knowledgeable advocate. He is an expert in bankruptcy, debt and commercial litigation and his reputation in New York City is impeccable. His clients are always well served by his expertise.

Richard Weltman, Litigation Attorney on Dec 18, 2011
Relationship: Co-worker

Michael L. Moskowitz is my partner and colleague at Weltman & Moskowitz, LLP. Michael enjoys a stellar reputation among his peers for his sweeping knowledge of the unique legal needs of Credit Unions and regional banks in fraud investigations, asset recovery, and reducing borrower delinquency. We have worked together as co-counsel for 25 years on literally hundreds of creditor-debtor, bankruptcy, and complex business litigation cases. Michael focuses on the issues and cuts to the chase. Not surprisingly, I have come to rely on his peerless judgment, impeccable insight, attention to detail, and total dedication to the firm's clients. The simple fact is Michael is committed to resolving each client's unique challenges as if they were his own. There is no better endorsement for any lawyer than that.
