Bankruptcy and Debt 7%

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.

Michael Moskowitz

Our Credit Union uses Michael to handle our Bankruptcy and Foreclosure issues. Michael is extremely knowledgeable in both areas. He has always been very responsive and his work is always detailed. I give Michael my highest recommendation.

Moskowitz review

My company has retained Michael and his firm to assist us with foreclosures, bankruptcy matters, collection actions and other litigation. In every instance he and his firm have been professional, responsive and cost-efficient in their representation of the company. I highly recommend Michael and his ...firm for representation in New York and New Jersey.

Litigation lawyer | Dec 18

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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
