Practice Areas

Bankruptcy and Debt 30%

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

40 years | 500 cases

30%
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.

40 years | 400 cases

20%
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.

40 years | 500 cases

20%
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.

40 years | 300 cases

15%
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.

Posted by Derrick | January 09, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

One of the WORST...

I hired Ron to assist me with resolving a corporate bankruptcy case and it appears to be outside of his wheel house as he charged me thousands of dollars (and worked on it for over `6 months) with no resolution. I hired another law firm who was able to get it DISMISSED WITHIN ONE WEEK. Ron has still ...not issued my refund (1 month later). If you have a complex case I advise not to use Ron and his team! Wish you all the best...

Bankruptcy

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 YOU...R CREDIT. That will forever be my very first priority because of Mr. Ron.

Posted by Shawn | December 18, 2018 | Bankruptcy & Debt

Very thorough consultation and sound advice.

Contacted Mr. Drescher about some concerns and questions about filing bankruptcy. His staff set up a free consultation for me in a quick and timely manner. After meeting with Mr. Drescher he provided me with some good advice for my situation.

Posted by Terri | August 03, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

excellent bankruptcy attorney

I consulted Ron after working with several bankruptcy attorneys, and his knowledge and expertise in this area is superb. He immediately got to the crux of the matter, calmed my fears, explained patiently what the options were, and gave me hope. I highly recommend him to anyone going through this ni...ghtmare. His fee structure is more than reasonable, and he will be there every step of the way with you.
