About Andrew

The choice of an attorney is an important decision.  You want someone that listens to your problem.  You want someone who has over 40 years experience trying cases like yours in Court before the same judges who will decide your case.  You want someone who will be accessible to you and who will return your phone calls and answer your questions.  You want a reasonable fee qoute, in writing, and you want a reasonable time to make payment.  You want an attorney who is a member of the leading consumer law attorney organizations.  You want an attorney who teaches law to other attorneys across the country and you want an attorney who provides free legal information on hundreds of internet blogs for you and others to read.

 

Attorney Andy Miofsky knows that sometimes bad things happen to good people and though you do not want to be in a bad financial situation, you need to protect your property, your money, and your rights.  A Bankruptcy Lawyer Andy Miofsky provides tall building law to down to earth people like you and your family when you need it most.

Craig Andresen, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Feb 20, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have often gone to Andy for help with bankruptcy issues that were beyond the understanding of the occasional bankruptcy filing attorney -- and Andy has always been able to help me out. He is hard working, analytical, ethical, and personable. I would recommend my closest family and friends to Andy for legal services.

Chip Parker, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Feb 19, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Andy is a knowledgeable bankruptcy lawyer. I often reach out to him for his opinion on complex bankruptcy matters. He is innovative in his approach to legal issues.

John Delaney, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Mar 26, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I have worked with Andy for years, have known him for over 15 years, and he is a great Bankruptcy Attorney, Chapter 7, 13 and especially going after creditors who wrong you, he is your man! I endorse Andy.

Kevin Benjamin, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Jan 19, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. He is very involved with the National Association of Bankruptcy Attorneys and fighting for consumers. He really knows his stuff.

Raymond Schimmel, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Jul 11, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. Andy is smart and sharp. I have discussed legal issues on a regular basis with Andy as a fellow NACBA state chair and found his level of expertise as extraordinary. Andy is a top bankruptcy lawyer and a true client advocate

Gary Bollinger, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Jan 15, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Our professional relationship goes back to law school in the 1970s. Like a fine wine, Andy's skills have enhanced with age and [unlike wine] Andy has improved through his experience & dedication to the practice of law.

L Berliner, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Mar 28, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Andy Miofsky is a straight-shooting legal counselor and advocate. He provides down-to-earth advice and will defend his clients' interests, completely and without unnecessary compromise. Attorney Miofsky is a national leader in consumer bankruptcy law and practice.

Peter Orville, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Mar 27, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Miofsky is one of the smartest attorneys I know. He is completely dedicated to looking after his client’s interests and loves to fight the good fight when it will help them. He is one of the most knowledgeable lawyers in the field of consumer bankruptcy law and frequently is asked to help other, less experienced bankruptcy lawyers. Andy consistently puts his high quality national reputation to work for his clients. A person suffering through financial difficulty would be well served to share their situation with him and get the benefit of his counsel.

David Leibowitz, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Jan 24, 2012
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Andy Miofsky is a top drawer lawyer. But what makes him extraordinary is his ability to relate with his clients. Andy has expertise - make no mistake about it - but Andy knows his roots and explains the most complex and difficult matters in ways that both his clients and the courts understand and respond to favorably. I have seen lawyers all over the United States and think that Andy ranks at the top of anyone I've seen. His clients are fortunate to have such a fine advocate in their corner.

Karl Wulff, Chapter 13 bankruptcy Attorney on Dec 28, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have known Andy Miofsky for over 10 years and have found him to be very knowledgeable and professional.

Relationship: Other

I endorse this lawyer's work. I have seen Andy present and attend at seminars around the country. He is a zealous, passionate, knowledgeable advocate for his clients, who could not be better served.

Kevin Gipson, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Sep 12, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have had the pleasure of knowing Andy for several years now and can say without hesitation that you will not find a more qualified lawyer to assist you in resolving your bankruptcy and consumer law issues.

Kent Anderson, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Aug 9, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Andy is an aggressive advocate for his clients. He is an expert in mortgage lending matters and has spoken on the subject at national conferences. His plain spoken advice is direct, to the point and pulls no punches. He says what he means and he means what he says. Consumers can find no better representation or help with their legal problems.

Pamela Stewart, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Feb 18, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer's work. Andy is a colleague of mine in NACBA (National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys) and Bankruptcy Law Network.
