Our Personal Bankruptcy Practice

We help individuals take advantage of their rights under the bankruptcy laws to restart, rebuild and recover. We exclusively handle bankruptcy cases, and we have proudly built a reputation across South Florida as an effective and reliable advocate for clients from all walks of life. Our attorneys personally work with each client throughout the entire bankruptcy process, from the initial consultation to the bankruptcy discharge.

Our personal bankruptcy practice involves Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases. In fact, we are one of the few law firms in South Florida that handle all three types of personal bankruptcy cases. We offer a free initial consultation, during which an attorney will discuss all of your options, both in and out of bankruptcy. We will not advocate bankruptcy if there is a better, non-bankruptcy, alternative. We will not only provide you with our recommendations, but we will educate you about how bankruptcy works and how bankruptcy impacts your property and debts.

What Sets us Apart

What sets us apart from other bankruptcy law firms is our experience and our approach.

Our experience

We have over 30 years of combined legal experience practicing bankruptcy law, and we limit our practice exclusively to bankruptcy law. We have worked with and continue to work with bankruptcy trustees and creditors, giving us unique and valuable perspective on the entire bankruptcy process. While our practice is limited to bankruptcy law, we are a full service bankruptcy law firm, meaning that we can handle all types of bankruptcy cases, including liquidations and reorganizations. We have been recognized as among the very best attorneys in the State of Florida, and our attorneys are frequent lecturers on the subject of bankruptcy law.

Our approach

Our approach is that we believe our clients are people, not numbers. We treat all of our clients with respect, compassion and understanding. We ensure that every bankruptcy case is handled with the utmost care, precision and expertise. Unlike bankruptcy “mills”, which churn out client after client, our clients are given the personal care and attention that they deserve, through every step of the process.

At Leiderman Shelomith, we have the ability to handle all aspects of your bankruptcy case, including bankruptcy litigation and appeals. Whether your debts stem from a failed business venture involving personal guarantees or personal credit cards, we can help. Call us now at (954) 920-5355 for a free consultation.
