Your Problems Have Solutions, And I Can Help You Find Them
If you are struggling with debt or a related financial issue, it can be hard to focus on anything else. The good news is that there are solutions to your problems, and you don’t have to face them alone. I am attorney Andrew M. Doktofsky, and I’ve been helping Long Island clients resolve their legal problems for over 20 years.
Prior to opening my law practice, I served for twenty years in the New York City Police Department, rising to the rank of captain. I have real-world experience working with and talking to people from all walks of life and income levels. I found it very satisfying to help people through difficult times in their lives, and this continues to be the driving force behind my legal practice.
A Firm Dedicated to Achieving Financial Health and Asset Protection
Money is a stressful topic for many people. It is my goal to help you reduce your stress, provide answers to your questions, and leave you and your family in better financial health. To that end, I provide guidance in the following practice areas:
Personal bankruptcy: I help clients address overwhelming debt and find a fresh financial start through bankruptcy. I guide individuals, married couples, and small business owners through the Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy process. Bankruptcy is a powerful legal tool that can solve otherwise insurmountable problems and change your life for the better.
Legal protection for debtors: If bankruptcy is not appropriate for you, I can help you with legal issues related to debts, judgments, and civil litigation. I can help you protect your rights and will explain your legal options if you are facing a wage garnishment or a frozen bank account, need to vacate a default judgment, or need to protect your home from foreclosure.
Protection against unfair credit reporting practices: Your credit history and credit score largely define whether you are able to borrow money and, if so, how much it will cost you in interest and fees. Unfortunately, credit reports are often filled with erroneous information that can be very difficult to correct on your own. I can help you ensure that your credit report is accurate, and I may be able to help you seek compensation from companies that violate your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Guidance in probate and estate administration: Many people die without a will or estate plan, and others leave behind documents that are unclear and/or likely to be contested. If you have recently lost a loved one and need help sorting out the financial and legal aspects of their estate, my firm is here to help.
No matter what your legal issue, I promise to provide dedicated, professional service and personalized attention throughout the duration of your case. After all, my name is on every document that leaves my office. I expect nothing but excellence from myself, and you should expect nothing less from your attorney.
