New Jersey Bankruptcy Attorney
“A new opportunity in life, unhampered by the pressure and discouragement of preexisting debt.”
– Bankruptcy as described by The Supreme Court of the United States
Filing for Bankruptcy in New Jersey
Filing for bankruptcy is one of the biggest decisions that an individual, family, or business can make. You need the best bankruptcy attorney in New Jersey to represent you, and I want to be your bankruptcy attorney. Having represented thousands of individuals and businesses since the early 2000s, my expertise and reputation speak for themselves. I am a life-long New Jersey resident, practice Statewide exclusively in the New Jersey Bankruptcy Courts, and have an outstanding reputation with the bankruptcy judges, bankruptcy trustees, and with bankruptcy attorneys statewide. I am an expert in bankruptcy law and have the pulse on how the bankruptcy court, bankruptcy trustees, and local bankruptcy rules are operating at any given moment in New Jersey.
I am fortunate to have a thriving boutique bankruptcy law practice. You shouldn’t choose just any bankruptcy lawyer. And on my end, I want to ensure that we have an excellent attorney client relationship. My goal as your attorney is to be your zealous advocate, be there every step of the way to guide you through the process with certainty, and to explain what is a complex area of the law in plain English so you understand bankruptcy in clear, concise terms.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 Personal Bankruptcy
The biggest hurdle to filing a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in New Jersey is qualifying for one. In a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, an individual or married couple is seeking a complete forgiveness of their personal debts with no repayment to their creditors. Over the past few years, there has been heightened scrutiny by bankruptcy trustees for individuals seeking this complete forgiveness. An in-depth consultation with an experienced bankruptcy lawyer will determine whether or not you can qualify for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, and if Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is the right option for you.
Chapter 7 Business Bankruptcy
The moment that a Chapter 7 Business Bankruptcy is filed in New Jersey, the business must immediately stop operating. In many instances, a business may no longer be financially viable, have large debts that cannot be satisfied, pending lawsuits, or is no longer operating. A Chapter 7 Business Bankruptcy can be a cost-effective method to wind down a business and stop business creditors and commercial landlords from collection efforts. A Chapter 7 Business Bankruptcy can also be an effective tool to address lawsuits against a business.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
If you own a home, to guarantee that it is protected in bankruptcy, a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is necessary. In Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, you can repay as little as $150.00 per month to your creditors for 36 months. In exchange, you can protect your home and other assets. There are income limits to file for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. In New Jersey, many individuals and married couples do not qualify for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy based on their household income, and Chapter 13 is the best way for them to reorganize their finances and get out of debt. Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is based in Federal Bankruptcy Law. However, critically, there are local New Jersey Bankruptcy Laws and local practice rules and nuances that determine Chapter 13 eligibility and qualification. Let a skilled bankruptcy attorney walk you through how Chapter 13 works and how it can benefit you. Please don’t jump to conclusions on qualifying for Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 Bankruptcy on your own.Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
You may be over the debt limits to file for a personal Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. Or, you may own a New Jersey business and want to reorganize your business debts or liquidate the business assets in an orderly fashion. If so, we will need to consider Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Chapter 11 Bankruptcy can be cost-prohibitive. The filing fee for a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is $313.00. To file a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, the filing fee is $1,738.00. The costs for a Chapter 11 case are amplified accordingly. We can determine together whether a Chapter 11 will be beneficial.
Creditor’s Rights
Are you a business owner or individual who has received a notice that an ex-business partner, business entity, spouse or ex-spouse, or someone who owes you money or property has filed a Chapter 7, Chapter 11, or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy? Or, is an individual or business threatening to file bankruptcy to deny you money owed, property, or rights? If so, I am here to represent you as a creditor to protect your rights and get you what you deserve. Reputation and experience are everything when hiring a New Jersey Bankruptcy Attorney. My statewide practice, dedicated exclusively to bankruptcy law ensures that I will know the parties involved in your matter and will guide you with expertise. If representation is necessary, I look forward to being of assistance. Many times, an hour of my time, to advise of your rights as a creditor can be sufficient.
Foreclosure Defense
Are you delinquent on your mortgage? Have you been served with a Notice of Intent to Foreclose? Foreclosure Summons and Complaint? Foreclosure Judgement? Is a Sheriff Sale Scheduled? Foreclosure Defense and bankruptcy law go hand in hand. If an Answer to a Foreclosure Complaint has not been filed yet, I need to do so in a timely fashion per New Jersey State Law to protect your rights. It may make sense to apply for a loan modification. If so, a bankruptcy attorney can analyze the specifics of your mortgage to determine the modification terms your lender is obligated to offer you. If you can afford to bring your mortgage current over 36-60 months, a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy may be your best option. In Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, you resume making your regular mortgage payment, your lender considers you contractually current, and the arrears are amortized out over 36-60 months. Once a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is filed, all foreclosure actions and Sheriff Sale actions are stayed (stopped).
5 Signs You Should Be Considering Filing for Bankruptcy in New Jersey
Bankruptcy can certainly be a nerve-racking subject, but I find all to often that people wait too long until they are completely over their heads and debt and made matters worse than they need to be. If any of these tell-tale signs apply to your situation, please consider your need for a bankruptcy attorney seriously and consult our office right away.
- You have revolving credit card debt and do not foresee that you will be able to clear the balances in the next 12-18 months.
- You are struggling to make your credit card payments each month. Or, you have fallen behind on your credit card payments.
- You are unable to afford the payment on personal loans or lines of credit.
- There are pending lawsuits, judgement, bank levies, or wage executions against you for unpaid debts.
- After making your minimum credit card payments each month, you have no money left over for bills or emergencies.

I want to start by saying Jonathan made me feel so comfortable with the whole process of filing for bankruptcy. I literally text him 30 minutes prior... to the hearing with questions. He called me and walked me through what was going to be asked of me. ( with Covid-19 we had to do court via phone) Even by phone it felt like Jonathan was sitting right next to me. He was so encouraging, letting me know that I would still have a life post bankruptcy and it is not the end of the world. I can't say enough good (or should I say GREAT) things about him. There are so many other chooses for lawyers around that have millions of other clients that make you feel less then important. But, Jonathan and his assistant Tammy were with me every step of the way. I am glad that I had him handle my case.read more

What a wonderful, professional, yet personal experience it was working with Jonathan Goldsmith Cohen, Esq. He was everything we hoped for in an... attorney. Jonathan went above and beyond at all times. From when we first met him he made us feel at ease with his warm, charismatic personality, but that pales in comparison to his expertise and experience in law. I would highly recommend Jonathan and the I. Mark Cohen Law Group.read more

There just aren't enough words to describe how great this guy is!I felt completely comfortable with Jonathan from the very first time we spoke on... the phone. He was SO incredibly friendly, didn't judge me or question things I had done in the past. He answered every question, walked me through every step of the process. I never once felt like I was "alone". Jonathan made me feel like I had an ally and that meant everything.I was referred to Jonathan by a former coworker and contacting him was the best decision I've ever made. I can't imagine how traumatic this experience might have been if I had chosen a different attorney.read more

The day before I went to visit Jonathan I was being threatened into a lawsuit because of my business partners negligence. So stressed and... overwhelmed with financial burden. I went and sat with Jonathan the next day and I couldn’t be happier that I did. Jonathan settled my nerves and calmed me down saying everything is going to be okay.Through filing, I realized that although life can get rough and overwhelming, there can be light at the end of the tunnel. Bankruptcy was the best thing I could have done for myself, and filing with with Jonathan Goldsmith Cohen was the best person I could have filed with!He is very professional while also keeping it light and relaxing. His council is very well received. His court proceedings only took 2 minutes, while everyone else’s were about 10 minutes thanks to his due diligence. Jonathan is the real deal! I highly recommend!!read more

Jonathan has made a not-so-fun experience an overall pleasure. He is clear, concise, and considerate. The process, with a different lawyer was... overwhelming, time consuming, and scary, which lead me to put off taking care of the business I needed to. I wish I found Jonathan sooner, instead of hoping it would just "go away" on it's own. If you're unsure of what you're doing, or even if you know what you're doing, you will go in and leave Jonathan's office feeling positive, confident & comfortable.read more

I found Jonathan to be extremely helpful and easy to work with. Obviously, if you have to go to a bankruptcy attorney, you're a little stressed out.... But Jonathan's demeanor was very relaxed and really helped me feel more at ease with my situation. He always listened to what I had to say and made time for me to explain areas in which I was confused, whether by phone call or appointment.I noticed some bad reviews, but I can honestly say that to me, it sounds like they went to a completely different law firm than I did. From Jonathan to his support staff, they were very helpful and friendly. I would recommend Jonathan to anyone (including family!) who needs a bankruptcy lawyer.read more

He has the confidence and integrity that you would seek in an attorney .read more

Jonathan was very reassuring since our first meeting. He simply stated mortgage modifications were not his area of expertise but had a team that is... well versed in the subject. We were having such a difficult time independently working with our mortgage company. Although they led us to believe we had a temporary modification, right from the start they slipped in additional undisclosed fees after the “contract” had been signed. It has been an uphill battle ever since.We sought legal counsel and Jonathan agreed to assist us, just as we were contemplating “walking away” from our home (not an easy decision to have to consider). I cannot express how comfortable he made us feel through this process. He drew up a contract to represent us and while we SLEPT, he did just that — represented us, advised us accordingly and communicated with us only when necessary. We have had an experience with an attorney whom I literally had to argue and seek assistance from another attorney, in order to make him do that for which he had been consulted and paid. We only seek legal counsel when we are not being treated fairly and know there are laws and established processes of which we have no knowledge or experience, to protect us.Jonathan is not arrogant and we felt he genuinely was concerned about our ordeal. He did not know us personally; we were completely honest with him so that he could get a sense of who we are and advocate on our behalf.When dealing with professionals, there is nothing more comforting than being able to trust them and the process, to rest assured they are working on our behalf; unfortunately this is not always or even usually the case — we left his office flabbergasted! Not only had Jonathan brought us to a better position, but he vowed to continue advocating to bring forth a legal outcome that would put us in an even better position to not have to continue struggling to stay afloat.Do not trust the mortgage company, although the application process is absolutely the same, they may not make the modifications as indicated to the full extent of the law. We believe if it’s legally possible, Jonathan and the I. Mark Cohen Group will advocate to make it happen. Thank you Jonathan!read more

Jonathan worked extremely well with me over two years with my loan modification. He kept me very well informed during the entire process. Even when... he wasn't in the office and I had concerns, he contacted me with the answers I needed to help until he returned to the office or the problem was resolved. He has and continues to be extremely patient with me and my financial circumstances in my position to pay my bill. I would totally recommend his services to anyone.read more
