Bankruptcy Relief and Bankruptcy Litigation
The Law Office of Daren M. Schlecter represent debtors, creditors, and other third parties in a variety of matters:

Debtor Side Representation
We help people and small businesses file for bankruptcy protection. Whether you face a foreclosure sale on your house, have an unmanageable lease with your landlord, or some other exigency that requires debt relief, we help consumers and small businesses reorganize through the bankruptcy process. We are a debt relief agency.

Creditor Side Representation
We assist individuals and small business recover monies lawfully owed to them in bankruptcy. We ensure that the creditor’s rights are adequately protected in bankruptcy, from pre-bankruptcy planning to negotiation with the debtor and other creditors in bankruptcy to maximize value for you.

Interested Party Representation
We represent tenants, landlords, vendors, suppliers, contractors, investors, and other parties.
