About Ronald

Ron Drescher solves your bankruptcy problems in Maryland Virginia Pennsylvania and Delaware

I believe strongly in listening. By carefully listening to my clients, I can help them prioritize their needs and reach decisions that make the best sense for them, their companies and/or their families.

 

Similarly, I listen carefully to the judges, trustees, co-owners and adversaries so that I can help them obtain what they really want from the transaction, while at the same time helping my clients realize their goals. 

Practice areas

OtherChapter 13 bankruptcyChapter 7 bankruptcyChapter 11 bankruptcyBankruptcy and debt
  1. Bankruptcy and debt: 30%

    Bankruptcy represents the overall emphasis of the practice in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Virginia.

    35 years, 500 cases

  2. Chapter 11 bankruptcy: 20%

    Chapter 11 allows great flexibility to help businesses maintain their going concern value by restructuring economic relationships and staying creditors from enforcing their legal remedies. Chapter 11 also helps high asset individuals to reorganize their economic lives.

    35 years, 400 cases

  3. Chapter 7 bankruptcy: 20%

    Chapter 7 is a "straight liquidation" that allows debtors the greatest possible fresh start from their debts. Most Chapter 7 cases are "no asset" cases where the debtor retains their exempt property and the property that is fully secured by lien creditors.

    35 years, 500 cases

  4. Chapter 13 bankruptcy: 15%

    Chapter 13 provides opportunities for consumer debtors (and, occasionally, business debtors too) to retain their homes or repay all or part of their debts by making monthly payments to a Chapter 13 trustee.

    35 years, 300 cases

  1. Litigation: 15%

    Commercial litigation involves resolving business and real estate disputes through the courts. The laws and rules of Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Virginia are all somewhat different, but the fundamental aspects of pleading, motions, discovery, trial and persuasion remain constant through all jurisdictions.

Filing bankruptcy can be an overwhelming and stressful time. I'm glad I went to Mr. Drescher (Drescher & Associates law)for legal help. They are genuine, very professional and extremely helpful. They answered all questions I had and I felt welcomed with the burden being lifted off my shoulders even at our first meeting. I greatly appreciate their willingness to work with me and take on my case. I had a very positive outcome for my case. I'm very grateful. I feel honored to recommend Mr. Drescher without hesitation to anyone seeking legal help for bankruptcy matters. He's terrific guy and would work diligently to get the results you deserved.

Bankruptcy Guide

In the course of my Chapter 13 case, Ron walked me through the questions and circumstances associated with my case. He was up front with evaluating my next steps and his office kept me in the loop with any communications sent to and received from the Trustee. I recently received my discharge once I completed all of the required payments set out in the bankruptcy plan. Because we built Trust early in the process and we frequently interacted I did not have any additional objections to the payment plan thanks to Ron’s personal involvement. Ron had my best interest throughout this ordeal. He repeatedly proved to me that he was the right person for handling my case without a doubt. Do not look any further. Ron’s legal advice was on point and his legal team was always professional and supportive.

Ron drescher is the wonderful lawyer that helped me through a very overwhelming situation. I didn’t know what to do as far as the piled up bills I felt like would never go away. As of today , I am discharged & ready to live a brand new life. One thing that’s most important is BE VERY CAREFUL WITH YOUR CREDIT. That will forever be my very first priority because of Mr. Ron.
