About Todd

Learn Todd’s areas of practice.

Yes, I too I filed for Bankruptcy in 1990 after a devastating year in the real estate business in NYC!   My lawyer as great as he was, did not hold my hand and I had to figure out all of the "BS" on my own.  I learned alot and started a new business in Financial Services in the week following my final hearing.   One thing led to another and I found myself a First Year at St John's School of Law.  I made a promise to myself to assist every single client in making this process easy and painless as possible.  I do that by keeping my ciient one step ahead of the process and delivering any news and updates in a timely and understandable manner , whether its good news or bad !!  

 

That being said, my success is reflected in my reviews herein and my acomplishments in the court room in winning favorable results in contested matters for my clients.

 

Outside of work , you can find me at a local NJ ball field or at a dance recital with my wife and kids.  I have been know to handle myself quite well on the drums and guitar and played professionally when I was younger.  I can be bribed with a good Cuban Cigar or a bottle of decent single malt scotch.  Most importantly,  I know what its like to face the challenges of bankruptcy, having been there. I understand your needs and I am approchable !!!   Please dont hesitate to call me, I am here to help you !!!!

Excellent Outcome
Mr. Cushner is an expert in his field. He is thoughtful, diligent, and compassionate. I’m genuinely grateful for his representation as I navigated an action brought on by an unscrupulous debt collector. Aware that this created a risk to my reputation and career, Mr. Cushner acted expeditiously to resolve the matter and ensure my rights were protected. The outcome was better than expected and most importantly, I have peace of mind. I highly recommend. Mr. Cushner. It’s rare to find someone who you can count on and trust but he’s that person. His rates are also very fair.

Wonderful Lawyer
I was a nervous wreck filing for Bankruptcy. Todd treated me with dignity and respect. Was always available when I needed him. His staff is wonderful. No one judged me and made me understand that things happen. I remember crying and getting very emotional, Lauren was so kind to me. I would recommend Todd & his staff to anyone who is in need of help. He's the real person.

Wonderful and supportive staff
When we found ourselves in a situation where we needed to file bankruptcy, we were stressed and concerned. From the first telephone call to set up a consultation, the staff were kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. We were made to feel at ease. Each and every staff member treated us as if we were all part of a team and guided us all along the way. Their professionalism and courtesy truly gave us the support we needed. We highly recommended this firm!! We can not thank them enough.

Remarkable Attorney I highly recommend, look no further!
What a great decision we made to hire Todd Cushner. I have only good things to say about the experience my wife and I had with Todd Cushner representing us in our bankruptcy. Todd is a truly remarkable, knowledgeable Attorney as well as a wonderful and compassionate human being. He was always there for us, promptly answering every question that crossed our minds, reassuring us in a difficult time and leading us to a successful outcome. Angelia one of his paralegals was also a pleasure to work with. Thank you both so much!

The Best
I can not say enough good things about Todd Cushner and his staff. I had been struggling with the thought of having to file for bankruptcy, but the stress and embarrassment was affecting my health physically and mentally. i finally garnered the courage to make the call to Todd's office and what i thought was going to be the most difficult call of my life was quickly abated. i spoke with Lauree Milone for about 10 minutes and she quickly assured me that Todd would help me, she took all my info and set up an appointment to meet with Todd within days. i am soooo glad a made that call and that it was the right choice of who to represent my wife and I. Todd met with us and i left his office feeling the weight of the world was lifted from my shoulders. Todd and his staff handled everything quickly and perfectly. Todd is always available to answer any question, i never had to leave a voice mail always was able to get in touch with him or his staff. James Rufo is also a gem, he helped with our case and also was always available to answer a question at any time. there were no surprises and everything went perfectly. The entire staff are wonderful human beings , never made us feel anything but like welcome friends, they are so welcoming and supportive. Alyssa Fiorentino went over our petition with us and answered any questions we had. Angela is always quick to respond to any issue with creditors and handled our paperwork. They also were able to get my mortgage modified ,which i hadn't expected. Todd's staff are all-stars. im a blue collar guy and wear my heart on my sleeve, if i had any problem i would absolutely not hold my tongue. i know this is a little long but i feel it is the least i could do. so if you are feeling overwhelmed, ashamed or embarrassed, like i was and are struggling to decide what to do, i urge you to make the call and make the call to Todd Cushner and Associates.

Now that we are done...
Honeymoon phase over, and Mr. Cushner is that rare thing in life, an attorney who undersells and overdelivers. I was in court with this highly respected attorney, and I can personally attest to the value of working with counsel this well regarded. There aren't any other choices that make sense.

Bankrtupcy Attorney: Protection + Dignity
I interviewed four attorneys before I met Mr. Cushner. He is disciplined, professional, and has a real, beating heart. We had been suffering for months, maybe years. He handled the legal process like an orchestra conductor, but as importantly, he afforded me my dignity in the process. I am sure there are other good attorneys out there, but there are not any who are better. Save yourself the agony you think has to be part of this, and if you are considering bankruptcy, please call his office before you do anything else.

The Best of the Best.
I have never had such an easy & stress-free experience with a lawyer as I did with Todd Cushner. Todd goes above and beyond to meet all of your legal needs, and is with you every step of the way. A very unnerving experience was made to feel effortless thanks to Todd & his staff. Todd has the utmost respect and admiration for his clients and interacts with you on a personal level no matter the circumstances. Todd is always reachable and makes himself available around the clock to his clients. I HIGHLY recommend Todd Cushner & his legal services and will never think twice about going back to Cushner & Associates for all future legal needs.

Friendly Professionalism
I've never had much experience with lawyers, hence I was a nervous wreck at the thought until I met Todd Cushner! At first meeting, he made me comfortable, at ease and I felt I had chosen the right person to help me through a difficult personal decision. Everything he said came to be and he took the time to explain everything I questioned him about. His legal assistant Alyssa, is also very professional and friendly. It was important to me that I was able to reach out to them both if and when I needed to, and that's exactly what happened. I am completely satisfied and very relieved.
