ANNOUNCEMENTS
Information for Hudson County residents who are considering bankruptcy:
Bankruptcy Cases, Judges and Trustees for Hudson County Cases
I file cases for Hudson County residents. The Bankruptcy Court in New Jersey is split into three parts or vicinages. Hudson County cases are heard in the Bankruptcy Court located in Newark, New Jersey. Trustee meetings or meetings of creditors for Hudson County are also held in Newark, at One Newark Center, situated on the corner of Raymond Boulevard and Route 21 (McCarter Highway).
The local Bankruptcy Judges who hear Hudson County cases are Judges Gambardella, Steckroth, Stern and Winfield. However, in the majority of Chapter 7 cases, you never see a judge.
If you file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your case will be referred to a panel of Bankruptcy Trustees, and one of the Trustees from the panel will be assigned to your case. Once on a case, Trustee will be responsible for that case until the Trustee files a final report, and the judge releases him . Some trustees have their own bankruptcy practices and file cases for other debtors, but they cannot hear their own cases.
If you file Chapter 13 bankruptcy and you live in Hudson County, your case will be assigned the the Standing Trustee for the Newark vicinage. The current Chapter 13 Standing Trustee for cases filed from Hudson County is Marie-Ann Greenberg; either she or one of her assistants will be present and ask questions at your meeting of creditors.
Marvin Wolf files bankruptcy cases in Hudson County. He files Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases, and on occasion, Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases for consumers and businesses. Marvin Wolf is a debt relief attorney and also practices consumer law, business law and foreclosure defense. He coaches clients in debt settlement, when appropriate.
If you live in Hudson County, and are considering filing bankruptcy, or need help with debt collection defense, you can contact the law office of Marvin Wolf to make an appointment for a private consultation. I primarily represent debtors, not creditors.

Marvin Wolf, Esq. is considered a Federal Debt Relief Agent by an Act of Congress. As a law firm, we assist people with finding solutions to their debt problems, including, where appropriate, assisting them with filing bankruptcy. The information contained on this website contains legal information but does not constitute legal advice for any particular case. I can only give advice to a client who formally retains me. The information here can become stale over time or a judge may issue a ruling in one of their cases that changes the way the law is interpreted.

Before making your choice of attorney, you should give this matter careful thought. The selection of an attorney is an important decision.

Pursuant to an Act of Congress in 2005., Marvin Wolf and other bankruptcy attorneys have been deemed to be debt relief agents. However, he is a lawyer and he files bankruptcies, when appropriate. Marvin Wolf wants you to know that the standards governing lawyers are stricter than the standards governing debt relief agents, who do not have to be lawyers. A lawyer can go to court and represent a debtor, while a regular "debt relief agent" is not permitted to do so. A lawyer can give legal advice; a debt relief agent cannot. The constitutionality of this Act of Congress is currently being challenged and will probably be decided by the Supreme Court. Until then, I am required to say, "I am a debt relief agent. I file cases under the Bankruptcy Code."
