Jay S. Fleischman, New York Bankruptcy Lawyer
New York bankruptcy lawyer Jay S. Fleischman is a co-founder of Bankruptcy Law Network, as well as the immediate Past President of the organization. Jay is the Managing Attorney at Shaev & Fleischman, LLP, a Manhattan law firm dedicated to protecting consumers from abuses at the hands of mortgage companies, collection agents, and creditors.
Jay is a frequent lecturer at national as well as local bar association groups on such topics as consumer bankruptcy, violations of the discharge in bankruptcy, debt collection abuse, foreclosure defense and technology and office management. He advises practitioners on Legal Practice Pro.
Jay’s clients know they can count on me to take on the toughest cases, and to work to get the results the deserve. In fact, he was the first lawyer in New York to get the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to rule – in multiple cases – that the refusal of a creditor to update a credit report after bankruptcy to show the debt as being discharged and having a $0 balance was a violation of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
In the cases of Torres v. Chase Bank USA, NA, Russell v. Chase Bank USA, NA and Gilyard-McKenzie v. HSBC Bank USA, NA the courts agreed that consumers had the right to have their credit reports properly updated.
Jay understands not only the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, but all the other laws that impact consumers – the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Truth In Lending Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, and more.
Every year he spends countless weeks in conference halls, listening to and learning from the greatest legal minds from around the country. He takes the best advice, the strongest tactics and the most convincing arguments and adapt them to his clients’ needs.
Jay is also a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys as well as of the National Association of Consumer Advocates. He has been the New York State co-Chairperson for NACBA for over two years. He blogs on general financial issues at Money Health Network.
Jay is a lifelong New Yorker, born and raised in Brooklyn. His office is designed to make the most of technology. That doesn’t just mean he uses the Internet and send e-mail – it means his entire office is virtual. His team is scattered around the country, coming together to work on projects that call for specialized attention.
What does it mean? Simply put, it means that he does everything by phone, fax, email and even the old-fashioned U.S. Postal Service. He helps people from all around New York from his home in Brooklyn, coordinating the efforts of team members scattered around the country and beyond. He is available when and where you need him – not when and where he wants you to be.
That translates into faster, more effective service than was possible just a few short months ago. It’s the service you deserve, when and where you want it.
