A Tradition Of Caring And Compassionate Representation For Staten Islanders

Attorneys Of Corash & Hollender, P.C.

Staten Island Bankruptcy Lawyers

We know that even hardworking, honest and conscientious individuals can find themselves buried in debt. We have learned, over 45 years, that most people want to pay their bills, and try their best to do so. At Corash & Hollender, P.C., we have observed that there are several basic reasons why people have financial difficulties:

  • Not paying attention to total debt and making only minimum payments on multiple credit cards and other revolving credit accounts
  • A significant change in family situation because of death, illness, layoff, divorce, or the need for a family member to stop work to care for children or for sick or elderly relatives — all of which can lead to a reduction in household income
  • An increase in household expenses caused by things such as funeral expenses, unexpected expenses incurred after buying a new home, emergency home repairs, college expenses or uninsured medical expenses
  • Personal problems such as gambling or alcohol/drug addiction
  • Business cash flow problems that force business owners to use their personal credit cards for everyday business or personal expenses

Corash & Hollender, P.C., Is Committed To Providing You With Peace and Hope!

Our Staten Island law firm helps individuals and families to either discharge or reorganize their debt and pay off their creditors.

If it is apparent that filing for bankruptcy would not be the appropriate solution to a financial problem, our attorneys can help develop non-bankruptcy solutions and assist clients in restoring their credit rating.

Guidance For Small Businesses In Financial Difficulty

Small-business owners often feel the pressure of a constantly changing business environment. Sometimes it is the product of underestimating the costs of a job you entered into a contract to perform. Sometimes it is due to slow payment to you on the contract, or the insolvency of your customer. The problems could be caused by industry-wide pressures or because of local issues. Whatever the cause, the consequences can be unbearable financial and emotional pressures on the business owners, and resultant personal financial pressure at home when the business cannot generate sufficient cash flow to support the owners’ families.

When such forces converge on your business, it is good to know that there is a local law firm with experience guiding family businesses through these difficult times. Sometimes the solution will be a Chapter 11 reorganization. Often relief can be obtained with non-bankruptcy intervention and negotiations. The important thing to remember is that you need not go through these problems alone. The lawyers at Corash & Hollender, P.C., have experience helping companies like yours and would welcome the opportunity to assist you.

Helping Creditors In Bankruptcy Cases

What do you do when you receive a notice that one of your customers has filed for bankruptcy? Every bankruptcy case has certain deadlines to take action to protect your right to get paid. If you know critical information about the bankrupt company, you and your attorney can play a vital role in the case and maximize your chance of recovery. Sometimes you can participate on a creditors’ committee. Sometimes it is best to just stay on the sidelines. In Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases you will have an opportunity to vote on a plan, and there may be other critical deadlines for taking action. At Corash & Hollender, P.C., we have the requisite experience to guide you through the bankruptcy maze.

Helping Defendants In Bankruptcy Litigation

What do you do if you get served with a summons and complaint in a bankruptcy case? Bankruptcy law can create strange situations. Often creditors of a company in bankruptcy get sued to return money they received shortly before bankruptcy, even if in payment of legitimate invoices. The fact that they are already owed money by these companies makes the demand for repayment even more troublesome. At Corash & Hollender, P.C., we can help devise negotiating strategies to minimize liability in such situations.
