Practice Areas

Chapter 7 is often called a "liquidation" bankruptcy. It allows individuals to discharge most unsecured debts — such as credit cards, medical bills, and personal loans — and obtain a fresh financial start.

Alan guides clients through the entire Chapter 7 process, from the initial means test analysis through the discharge of debts, ensuring their rights and assets are protected at every step.

Chapter 11 provides a framework for reorganization, allowing individuals and businesses with significant assets or complex financial situations to restructure their debts while continuing to operate.

Alan has extensive experience navigating the complexities of Chapter 11 cases, developing reorganization plans that are both realistic and protective of his clients' interests.

Chapter 13 allows individuals with regular income to repay all or a portion of their debts through a structured three-to-five-year repayment plan, often while keeping their home and other assets.

Alan works closely with clients to design repayment plans that are manageable and that maximize the protection of their property, including their home.

Alan represents creditors, including private lenders, in bankruptcy cases. He prosecutes and defends complaints to determine the dischargeability of debts, objecting to discharge, and to avoid and recover preferential transfers and fraudulent conveyances.

Whether you are a lender seeking to protect your claim or a party facing an adversary proceeding, Alan provides skilled, strategic representation.

Alan also helps clients sell and buy assets and claims in bankruptcy cases, navigating the procedural requirements of bankruptcy court to facilitate efficient and effective transactions.
