General Practice

Adapting our practice to better serve our clients

Your legal issues do not stop with a family law, criminal defense, or personal injury matter.  Sometimes these matters devolve into further legal actions.  We assist existing clients and new clients in the following areas:

Bankruptcy*

If you spend your evenings screening calls from bill collectors and worrying about how you can find relief from the weight of your debts, know first that you are not alone. 

You can take action and get your life back with one phone call to the Law Offices of Maurice J. Verrillo, P.C.  We listen to your problem, take a look at your finances, and assess which option is best for you:

• Chapter 7—Also called liquidation, Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates many of your assets to pay for your debts, meaning the property you own can help you pay your bills.  This process allows you to reclaim your financial standing, clear your credit, and start anew.

• Chapter 13—Chapter 13 bankruptcy reorganizes your personal finances to create some breathing room to pay your bills.  This style of bankruptcy works best for those with a regular income.  With our assistance, you can draft a payment plan that works for your budget so you can pay off your debts in three to five years.

*We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the bankruptcy code.

For many New Yorkers, buying or selling a home is the largest financial transaction we will make.  It is important to have a knowledgeable, detail-oriented lawyer such as Maurice Verrillo to help you complete your transactions as well as other property matters that may arise:

Selling a home and buying or renting a new residence is often a consequence of a divorce.  Trust the same effective attorney who handled your divorce to handle your real estate transactions.

Estates and trusts

For most people, the idea of drafting a will seems reserved for the elderly.  But the truth is that every family, young or old, should have a thorough and valid estate plan in place.  Our law firm helps people draft and revise wills and estate plans to ensure the protection you offer your loved ones continues after you are gone.
