A bit about us:

We're a well-established debt relief and bankruptcy firm serving Long Island and New York City, with five offices across Suffolk, Nassau, Queens, and Brooklyn. For over three decades we've focused exclusively on one thing: helping individuals and businesses get out from under debt. Our practice spans Chapter 7, 13, and 11 (including Subchapter V), foreclosure defense, debt negotiation, and litigation defense. With a team of 25 legal professionals across five focused departments, we run a high-volume, client-first practice where attorneys actually get into court instead of pushing paper.


Why join us?

You'll handle real cases from day one with the support of an experienced team behind you. We file fast, litigate aggressively, and give attorneys ownership of their matters rather than burying them in a single narrow task. Five departments under one roof means you can build genuine expertise across bankruptcy, negotiation, and litigation. Daytime and evening hours, multiple office locations, and a steady pipeline of work make this a place to grow a durable practice, not grind anonymously.


Job Details

You'll manage a caseload of consumer and small-business bankruptcy matters from intake through discharge, including drafting petitions, handling Section 341 meetings, responding to motions and objections, and appearing in court. Depending on your strengths, you may also work on contested matters, adversary proceedings, and foreclosure defense filings. You'll work directly with clients, so comfort explaining options in plain language matters as much as technical skill.
Qualifications

Admitted to practice in New York (in good standing)
2 years of bankruptcy experience (consumer Ch. 7/13 strongly preferred; Ch. 11/Sub V a plus)
Comfortable in court and managing your own docket
Strong drafting and client-communication skills
Spanish, Hindi, Urdu, or Russian a plus given our client base
Self-directed but collaborative
