I have been practicing bankruptcy law for my entire career.  I have experience in every aspect of the bankruptcy system, representing debtors, creditors, trustees, individuals, businesses, other lawyers, and even the United States government.  After seven years of practice, I decided to open my own law firm to pursue my passion--helping individuals and businesses in the bankruptcy courts.  Owning and operating Prelle Eron & Bailey has now consumed over half of my career, and it continues to be a grand adventure.

While bankruptcy is the primary focus of our firm, we assist a wide range of clients in defending and prosecuting business disputes, foreclosures, and breach of contract actions.  We also assist clients with their transactional needs, including incorporations, drafting operating agreements and bylaws, drafting and reviewing contracts and leases, preparing sales agreements, promissory notes, and security instruments, and arranging for the sale, division, or wind down of businesses.

Our firm provides highly personalized representation to all of our clients, from the poverty stricken individual to the multi-million dollar corporation.  We are available after hours as needed.  The individuals and companies who use our services are typically involved in very difficult circumstances.  We meet those circumstances with the skill, service, and respect that our clients deserve.  We listen and pursue our client's goals with diligence.  And our service is backed by some of the most highly educated and experienced professionals in the business.  If you or someone you know needs representation in the areas of bankruptcy, business transactions, or commercial litigation, give us call and see what a difference our customer focus makes.  You can also email me directly at

Excellent Communication
The team at Eron Law were great to work with, and quickly and easily resolved my issue. The office staff were kind and patient, and ensured we were informed of the process and status. Mr. Eron was great to work with, very reassuring, and brought my issue to closure in the most painless way possible. 10/10 would recommend.
Response from David Eron December 16, 2020
Josh, I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. It was great to be able to take care of this little issue. Sometimes small issues cause big headaches for good people. They can't always be resolved quickly or efficiently, but it is really gratifying when all it takes is a few emails. Good luck!

We hired Mr. Eron in April of 2015 to represent us in filling a Chapter 12 after consulting with him and his firm previously. As many I think don't understand the system David took the time to explain in english what was to happen. He is very professional and well recognized by the courts which means in my opinion he is respected.

Tremendous Gratitude for the help!
I have tremendous gratitude for Dave and his colleagues who assisted me several years ago. The challenges I faced when I sought his firm’s services caused some of the greatest distress of my lifetime. Dave and and his crew were supportive and knowledgeable. They helped me navigate through a difficult and emotional process. Through it all I gained acceptance and embraced my role in what led to my need for help, along with letting go of the things I could not change. We received a good outcome in a situation that had some nuances. This has allowed me to move forward in my career and improve my overall financial health. I recently purchased a newly remodeled home in a tight housing market, and I am saving for retirement. This is quite a change from where I was just a few years ago. Dave also recently helped me follow up on a minor situation that emerged. I believe relationships are key to good outcomes, and this relationship and experience is one I value. It has changed my outlook on life.

Thank you so much for letting us know about your experience with our firm. I appreciate your desire for anonymity, but I can tell from your comments who you are. It was truly a pleasure to be of assistance in your critical moments. Each case is very unique, and the outcomes are not always as positive as you might hope or expect. But building a relationship is what we try to do. And, of course, we are thrilled that the outcome was good in your case. If you ever need anything else, just let us know!

Straight to the point
David is great to work with, and makes the process quick and simple. I was able to get out of debt and back on my feet so quickly, and it really took a ton of stress of my shoulders. His prices are very reasonable and I would without a doubt hire him again if the need should arise in the future. I highly recommend David to anyone who is seeking a bankruptcy lawyer, or if you just need consultation.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy....
Wow! This lawyer was the best, quickest, hassle - free experience I ever had! After a long drawn out divorce with a different lawyer, I was faced with bankruptcy. Scared of all lawyers by this time I made an appointment to speak with Mr. Eron. I left it entirely in his hands and he produced outstanding, quick results - never charging me a penny extra. He held true to his word and I can't thank him enough. If you are in the unfortunate situation of facing a bankruptcy, do not hesitate to have David Eron handle it for you, as he is the only honest, truly honest attorney out there. He took excellent care of me and did not judge me at all. *Thank you David Eron*

Bankruptcy Lawyer
When we reached out to Eron Law we were at our wits end. When my husband and I got married he had a mountain of debt from his previous divorce and I had extensive medical bills. We were barely keeping things afloat with my husband and I both working. But when I lost my job while pregnant with twins our hold on the financial ledge slipped and sent us plummeting. The mountain of stress was immense. We were very nervous to even discuss bankruptcy. After doing some internet researching we called Eron Law. From the very first phone call it felt like we were given a life line to pull ourselves and our future out of the pit. They gave us a very thorough phone interview that lead to a frank first consultation. Their professionalism and dedication to us through the entire process was incredibly supportive. David and all of his staff were detail oriented, understanding of the emotional journey that brought us there, and truly took care of us. When things came up, they were easy to reach. They were our advocate in every way. They put together a budget that honestly made me cry to hear how much was allowed for groceries. Today without the debt strangling us we have started the journey towards rebuilding our financial future. We have the means to care for our family and plan a future. Having our lives given back to us was truly a blessing. We will always be thankful to David, Lori, Barry, and any of their behind the scene help. I highly recommend Eron Law for any of your bankruptcy needs.

Eron Law
The beginning process took a couple months as they made sure I provided the exact records they needed. Filing, like any court case, was not pleasant, but was relatively simple because David was right there to correct me when I didn't understand a question and answered incorrectly. Eron Law makes sure the entire process goes as smoothly as can happen. They understand and have tremendous compassion.

Excellent Firm
We used Eron law firm for a company chapter 13 bankruptcy and they did a wonderful job from beginning to end. They were always prompt with returning emails and phone calls. Dave Eron was flexible with payments and thats hard to find. We also used the firm for preparations of our corporate documents and would continue to seek advice and council from Eron Law.

My case was in jeopardy with another attorney when I opted to seek another attorney. David’s exceptional work pulled my case out of the hole. His counsel was clear from the start and his schedules were methodical. I strongly recommend David based on the positive results he achieved in my case.
