Bankruptcy Litigation Attorney Brooklyn
Your debt battles deserve a dedicated fight.
Legal Support From a Brooklyn Bankruptcy Litigation Lawyer
Bankruptcy disputes in Brooklyn can move fast. When creditors push back, trustees raise objections, or asset values get challenged, you need more than paperwork; you need someone in your corner. At the Law Offices of Wenarsky and Goldstein, LLC, we help Brooklyn residents and New York City clients handle the legal fights that come with the bankruptcy process.
Not every bankruptcy case is simple. Some cases involve disputes over what you own, what you owe, and whether your debts can be discharged. These fights happen inside the courtroom, and they require a bankruptcy litigation attorney that Brooklyn clients can count on when the stakes are high.
Debt relief is a legal right. But protecting that right takes work.
Whether a creditor objects to your discharge, a trustee disputes your assets, or a party files an adversary proceeding, our firm stands ready to help you respond.
We serve all five boroughs of New York City, and our team knows what Brooklyn courts expect at every stage of your case.
How We Help With Bankruptcy Disputes in Brooklyn
At Wenarsky and Goldstein, we start by carefully reviewing your case. Every Brooklyn bankruptcy dispute is different. We take time to understand your debt, your goals, and what’s at stake before we act.
When creditors push back, we respond with a clear plan. We review claims filed against your estate, check them for errors, and dispute ones that don’t hold up. If a trustee challenges your right to keep property, we stand by your side and respond assertively.
Adversary Proceedings
Moreover, our team handles adversary proceedings: formal lawsuits filed inside a bankruptcy case. These can come from creditors who claim fraud or from trustees who want to recover assets.
We build your defense from the start, not after things get worse.
Discharge Protection
We also help when discharge is at risk. If a creditor tries to block your debt relief, we fight to protect what the court has granted you. You worked to get this far. We work to make sure it counts.
Our goal is simple. We want to resolve your dispute in the way that puts you in the most favorable position, whether that means settling, litigating, or finding a middle path. You get a clear strategy, not guesswork.

Choosing the right bankruptcy litigation attorney matters to Brooklyn residents.
Here is what makes the Law Offices of Wenarsky and Goldstein, LLC a strong choice for your case:
Over a Decade Serving New York Clients
Wenarsky & Goldstein has served clients since 2010. That is more than 16 years of real-world bankruptcy work across all five New York boroughs, including Brooklyn.
This kind of track record means we know the courts, the process, and the pitfalls.
A Focused Practice Built Around Bankruptcy Relief
Our firm centers its New York work on bankruptcy law. We handle Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases every day. That focus keeps our skills sharp and our advice grounded in current practice — not general guesswork.
Two Attorneys, Combined Decades of Experience
Attorneys Scott J. Goldstein and Jenee K. Ciccarelli each bring deep legal knowledge to every case. Together, they cover a wide range of bankruptcy and debt relief situations. You get the benefit of two sets of eyes on your file.
All Five Boroughs, Including Brooklyn
We serve all five New York City boroughs. Brooklyn clients do not need to travel far or feel like an afterthought. We treat every client — no matter the borough — with the same direct, personal care.
Client-First Approach, Not a Case Number
At Wenarsky & Goldstein, we tailor every plan to your exact situation. We do not use one-size-fits-all strategies. Every client gets a personalized path forward built around their goals.
What Happens During Brooklyn Bankruptcy Litigation
Bankruptcy litigation in Brooklyn follows a clear path. Knowing each stage helps you stay ready and reduces stress along the way.
Stage 1: Case Review and Filing (Weeks 1–2)
Before anything gets filed, your case needs a full review. You gather financial documents such as income records, debt statements, and asset lists. The firm reviews everything to determine whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 fits your situation.
Once ready, your petition gets filed with the US Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York, which handles Brooklyn cases. Filing triggers an automatic stay that halts most collection actions immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I file for bankruptcy if I already have a judgment against me?
Yes — filing triggers an automatic stay, which may help pause most collection actions, including judgments. Talk to a bankruptcy litigation attorney in Brooklyn right away to see what options apply to your case.
2. What if a creditor keeps contacting me after I file?
A creditor who contacts you after the automatic stay is in place may be violating federal law. Your attorney can file a motion to hold them in contempt and seek damages on your behalf.
3. Can I lose my home if a creditor files an adversary proceeding?
An adversary proceeding can put assets at risk, but a dedicated bankruptcy litigation attorney in Brooklyn can raise defenses to protect your property. The outcome depends on the facts, your exemptions, and how quickly you respond.
4. What if I missed the deadline to object to a creditor's claim?
In some cases, courts allow late filings if you can show good cause for the delay. An attorney can review your timeline and ask the court for relief if a deadline was missed.
