Practice Areas
Comprehensive Bankruptcy Representation
Every financial situation is unique. Daniel M. Press brings decades of focused bankruptcy experience to help you find the right path forward.
Liquidation & Fresh Start
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 provides a swift discharge of most unsecured debts — credit cards, medical bills, personal loans — giving individuals a genuine fresh start. Chapter 7 can also provide an efficient means to liquidate a business. We guide you through the means test, exemptions, and the entire filing process.
Business Reorganization
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
For businesses and high-asset or high-income individuals, Chapter 11 allows you to restructure debts and continue operations while developing a court-approved repayment plan. We negotiate with creditors and protect your interests throughout the process.
Repayment & Home Retention
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 lets you keep your home and valuable assets while repaying debts over a 3–5 year plan. It's an effective tool to stop foreclosure, catch up on mortgage arrears, and regain financial stability.
Corporate & Commercial
Business Bankruptcy
From small businesses to mid-market companies, we handle the full spectrum of commercial bankruptcy matters — Chapter 7 liquidations, Chapter 11 reorganizations, Chapter 12 for family farmers and fishermen, and out-of-court workouts with creditors.
Protecting Your Interests
Creditor Representation
We represent creditors, landlords, and other interested parties in primarily business bankruptcy cases — asserting your rights, pursuing claims, defending avoidance actions and maximizing recovery when a debtor files for bankruptcy protection.
Cross-Border Insolvency
International / Chapter 15
We handle cross-border insolvency matters under Chapter 15, including recognition of foreign proceedings, protection of U.S. assets, and representation of foreign insolvency representatives and U.S. creditors in multi-jurisdictional cases.
