Resolved a problem that everyone else could not!!!! After my case was confirmed for around six months I had a tax problem come up. I had endless calls with NYS Tax dept and trustee and all kept pointing the finger to each other !!!!
And i was stuck in the middle . I contacted Rich he made a few calls and resolved this in one day after I been trying for weeks and no other involved party had a clue on how to resolve this !!!!!!

Fair and honest I found Mr. Feinsilver to be a very fair and honest lawyer. I consulted Mr Feinsilver regarding a bankruptcy for my business and he was very honest about the challenges that I would face and what the bankruptcy can and cannot achieve. I was convinced that this was the only way forward but after consulting with Mr. Feinsilver I have decided to hold off on bankruptcy. He could have easily taken my money and just filed the bankruptcy but instead he counseled me on what is in my best interest. Strongly recommend.

Experience!!!!!!! Knows how to navigate through difficult cases I used Rich back in 1995 when all all you need was a warm body to get you through the chapter 13 process . I needed his services 2nd time 2016 and Boy how the laws have changed . I hit road blocks everywhere The bankruptcy process now requests many many docs, records , statements etc. My case took 18 weeks to get confirmed , three trips to Islip , and weekly lists from rich for more docs to send the trustee . Rich was at my side through very difficult process . The thing I learned about rich Just let him do his Job !! He will get back to you if he needs you . My case would have crashed and burned with out His Experience
in navigating a very difficult chapter 13 case to confirmation . Thank You Rich !!!!!!!!

Anonymous Richard is representing us in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, something that we never anticipated going through. He quickly eased our feelings of embarrassment and reassured us that our decision was okay. He has handled everything very efficiently and is professional, compassionate, and a gentleman. We quickly realized that he is 100% sincere in his desire to help people in our situation. There is no judgment, no condescending comments-only compassion, reassurance, and, most importantly, education. He provides thorough explanations of each step as travel on this journey. We have sent him many emails (most were unnecessary) with simple questions and he always gets back to us right away. We would recommend him to anyone who needs help as we did. He is an outstanding attorney.

Feinsilver The Finest Attorney Available Mr. Feinsilver has worked on our bankruptcy back in 2007, was very professional,helpful, and kept us updated all the way. He explained our situation to us and what our options would be and gave us the best option for our situation. He stopped all the phone calls and after visiting several other attorney's Mr Richard Feinsilver was the best option the other attorneys did not give us the full information and fee's involved, Mr. Feinsilver went the distance and gave us a break down on pricing and it was itemized so MR. Feinsilver thank you for all your help, we would defiantly recommend you.

Filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy? What to Expect After the Process?

In the more than two decades that he has been in private practice, Mr. Feinsilver has helped more than 7,500 clients across Long Island, including Queens, Nassau County, and Suffolk County put their debts behind them and make a fresh financial start. Filing bankruptcy is never an easy decision to make, but with the guidance and support of a trusted bankruptcy attorney behind you, it’s certainly a lot less stressful. If you are in need of debt consolidation services or you are considering filing for bankruptcy, you’ll have peace of mind when Richard S. Feinsilver, Esq is on your side.

Are you tire of living paycheck to paycheck and never making ends meet? Does it seem like no matter what you do, you can’t catch a break? Has the weight of your financial hardship finally become too much for you to carry? If so, bankruptcy may be an option that you are considering.

You’ve received some great recommendations, and have searched “bankruptcy attorney near me” countless times. You’ve finally found a lawyer that you are confident with, and after discussing your options, you’ve decided that filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the best option for you. You’ve handed over all of the requested documentation, filled out all of the necessary paperwork, and have signed on several dotted lines. The petition has been filed. Now what?

So many people don’t quite know what to expect after the file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Understanding what happens and what you should do once you’ve filed can help to make the process go smoother; not to mention, it can help calm your nerves. Here’s a look at some of the things that you can expect after you file.

An Automatic Stay Goes Into Effect

Immediately after you have filed, an automatic stay will go into effect. Essentially, this stay is what stops creditors from attempting to collect your debts. As soon as that stay goes into effect, your creditors can no longer attempt to start any legal proceedings or continue with any that have already been started. Additionally, they can no longer contact you in any way, so immediately after you file, those harassing phone calls, emails, text messages, and snail mails

will stop.

Reaffirmation Agreements May Begin

Before you filed, you and your lawyer discussed whether or not you wanted to reaffirm (remain responsible) for any secured debts; your house, your car, etc. If you did decide to reaffirm any debts, the creditors of those debts will begin sending agreements to your lawyer. Both you and your attorney will need to sign these agreements before the court enters a discharge.

Financial Education

Before the process is completed, you will be required to take a course in financial management. You will not be granted a discharge until you have completed the course and provided the necessary documentation to illustrate that you have, in fact, completed it. Therefore, it’s important that you fill out and send in all the necessary paperwork.

The purpose of this course is to prepare you for a better financial future; to teach you how to improve your saving and spending habits so that you don’t end up in another compromising situation. Keep an open mind and really listen to the tips and advice that are given; you could learn a lot from your financial management training course.

Receipt of Discharge

Though time frames do vary, typically about 3 months after you have filed for bankruptcy, you’ll receive a discharge. This discharge is what removes you from being liable for your debts, with a few exceptions that cannot be entered into bankruptcy; taxes, student loans, and child support, for example.

After you have received your discharge, the bankruptcy process is complete and you can start working to rebuild your financial situation so that you are in good standing moving forward. Generally, individuals who file for bankruptcy can start to repair their credit very soon after being discharged; you may even be able to secure loans within as little as 2 years time!
