Bankruptcy and Debt 95%

I have done bankruptcies since the early 90's. I decided to focus on bankruptcy cases when the law changed in 2005. I have developed an expertise in chapter 7 cases.

95%
Real Estate 3%

I had focused on real property law most of my career until switching to bankruptcy in 2005. Since real property issues arise in bankruptcy, my expertise in this field is very helpful.

Good Lawyer, did what he said he would

He did a wonderful job with my bankruptcy. He did everything he said he was going to do with it. However, once the bankruptcy was over and we had to go after one of the companies for violation of the bankruptcy laws, he became very unresponsive in letting me know what was going on. I would call and... email multiple times before receiving a response. He did handle the case, but I felt I wasn't very informed and he wasn't very responsive to me when I attempted to contact him for a status update. Overall, I would recommend him as an attorney. He is a great attorney and is willing to work for and with his clients. Thanks!

"I endorse this lawyer. Alan knows bankruptcy law forwards and backwards. With over 1,500 published answers to consumer questions and recommendations from clients and other attorneys, it is obvious to anyone that he knows the law and cares about making sure that his client understand it too. He is a member of the only national organization of bankruptcy attorneys who represent Consumers and that shows his committment to helping people too. If you have a financial problem and are thinking about Chpater 7 or Chapter 13, and his office is anywhere near you, I highly recommend him to you."

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.
