Knowledgeable Lawyers in New York and California

At the office of Pelton Serpe LLP, our lawyers and staff offer clients experienced and tailored representation in many different types of cases. We focus our attention on the areas listed below, though we do handle other cases when appropriate. Contact a lawyer at our office today to discuss your case.

Bankruptcy

If you are in debt and wish to reduce your debt level or eliminate your debt, filing for bankruptcy is one of the options that you have. We not only provide you with guidance in selecting the proper method of debt relief, but our lawyers also educate clients on the specific aspects of Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and 13, and business bankruptcy issues.

Our legal team has handled a number of personal and business bankruptcies. Both Sean and Brent have handled cases in bankruptcy court, aggressively fighting for clients' rights.

Brent and Sean aggressively fight for your rights in bankruptcy, and vigorously defend objections from both trustees and creditors.

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)

We at Pelton Serpe LLP are dedicated to helping individuals protect their rights as consumers, shielding them from abusive debt collectors. Our lawyers are well versed in the language of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and take the time to explain their rights under this established law. Fair debt collection matters often coincide or relate to the bankruptcy and debt settlement cases we frequently handle.

You have rights and options. Do not let creditor harassment continue without talking with a knowledgeable attorney at our office.

If we take your case, you will not pay any attorney's fees out of your pocket from start to finish, including your filing fee! No exceptions.

We have litigated cases against:

  • Cohen & Slamowitz, LLP
  • HSBC
  • IC Systems
  • JPMorgan Chase Bank
  • NCO Financial Group
  • Pallisades Treadstone 77
  • Wolpoff & Abramsom

Litigation

While litigation can occur in bankruptcy and consumer law cases, our firm handles a range of other matters involving litigation as well. We are vigorous litigators, staying with a case from beginning to end and afterward if necessary. Our lawyers are proud of the favorable reputation they have gained as being effective and thorough litigators.

Over the course of their 15 years of combined litigation experience, Sean and Brent have successfully litigated many cases in federal, state and bankruptcy courts. They are not afraid to mix it up with opposing counsel from Wall Street to the United States Government. They fight for you, and they love to do it.

Recently, Sean and Brent have litigated in the federal courts of both New York and California as well as the bankruptcy courts in those jurisdictions as well as state and local courts. They also litigate in NASD and NYSE arbitrations as well as administrative law hearings before federal, state and municipal agencies.
