This site was designed from the ground up, by a Pennsylvania Consumer Law and Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney for general reference. No professional site-building was used. We hope that you, as an individual and consumer, find it helpful to obtain a basic understanding of the law of personal bankruptcy and your rights as a debtor in a consumer transaction. This site should only be used as a starting point and is not a substitute for competent legal advice in your jurisdiction. The laws in your area may differ, so please consult a local attorney. If you reside in PA or NJ, or you wish to bring legal action against a party in PA or NJ you are invited to request representation from this office. A legal consultation for any type of case may be had by appointment. Consultation fees may be waived if a retainer agreement is signed. Please inquire as to our current rates. At this time we cannot advise non-clients by phone. Further, we cannot render legal advice to persons outside of the states for which we hold a license to practice law, i.e. Pennsylvania or New Jersey. However, cases may be considered where clients do not reside in PA or NJ but litigation is brought in Pennsylvania or New Jersey.
If you need an attorney and do not reside in PA or NJ, we suggest you try NACA.NET. or NACBA.org (National Ass'n of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys. We suggest you do not rely upon Martindale-Hubble (martindale.com) since they are now charging for their lawyer ratings, thus compromising the whole ratings system.

We also review and draft Physician Employment Contracts. Lawrence S. Rubin is licensed to practice only in PA, NJ and NY (inactive), is a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, the Eastern District of Pennsylvania Bankruptcy Conference, and is a Martindale-Hubble rated attorney.
Federal law requires us the following disclosure: We may be considered a "debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code." Even though we may be considered a "debt relief agency" this does not change our status as a licensed attorney admitted to practice in all state courts of PA and NJ, as well in the federal Districts of New Jersey, and Pennsylvania as well as in their respective Bankruptcy Courts.
