Criminal Law

• Traffic Violations
  My office handles traffic ticket and other municipal court cases. It’s easy to get a ticket – harder to get rid of one. Some plea bargaining is allowed in most municipal courts, but there is only so much leeway a prosecutor has or a judge will allow on a plea bargain. Additionally, some charges do not allow any reduction in penalties and require license suspension or jail time.
• Money Laundering
  HSBC has recently been fined $1.2 billion for admitting to laundering $881 million belonging to Mexican and Columbian drug cartels, and now the government of Argentina has filed criminal money laundering charges against a local unit of HSBC.  The Senate Banking Committee has questioned Administration officials as to why large banks are considered “Too Big to Jail.”

Business and Corporate Law

• Corporate Law
• Business Disputes
  A former consumer arbitrator on "lemon law" cases for the Better Business Bureau of New York, Marvin Wolf's practice is concentrated in and he has extensive experience in consumer bankruptcy (primarily representing debtors) and business law matters.
• Business Transactions
• Limited Liability Companies
  Choosing the proper form of business entity is essential for business success. My office helps clients determine the proper legal organizational structure. Business entities must be structured with appropriate governance features to ensure compliance with multi-level governmental regulations while protecting the entity from financial claims and legal exposure. Post-formation, ongoing maintenance of the business entity and decision making processes ensures continued reduced exposure for management. While limited liability companies have become very popular, there are still major advantages to forming a corporation instead of an LLC.

Health Law

• Personal Injury
  I do take offense at his main contention that the only person benefiting from a consumer bankruptcy is the debtor’s attorney.  Debtor attorneys make much, much less money than creditor attorneys.  If we were greedy, we’d represent creditors instead of debtors.  That’s where the real money is to be made.   The bankruptcy court limits debtor attorney fees far more than it limits creditor attorney fees.  He claims that “It is a fact that consumer bankruptcies have a high rate of legal malpractice. ” This is an overgeneralization because my malpractice insurance isn’t very high compared to really risky specialties like personal injury, securities law, banking, and real estate.   Would Mr. Dunn claim that you shouldn’t go to a real estate attorney or securities law attorney and just do it yourself?  Of course, those professions aren’t his competition.

Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning
  For my part, I am reasonably certain that Mr. Dunn is a fine tax and trust and estates lawyer.  I might even use him, if I could afford him – but being a consumer bankruptcy attorney, I probably can’t.  Neither could most of my clients, which I suspect is why they come to me and not to him.  They too have learned from experience – now they know that the myth of friendly creditors ready to work out and compromise debts in a reasonable fashion usually does not stand up to cold, hard reality.

• Debt Collection
  J had never considered filing bankruptcy. She had always paid her bills and wasn't looking for an easy way out, but the credit card collectors and their lawyers were giving her no choice. They said they would consider modifying her loans, but somehow she never seemed to qualify, or the terms they offered were crazy and beyond her ability to afford. As the lawyers stalled for time, her debts kept going up and up. She was willing to be fair with her creditors, but none of her creditors were willing to be fair with her. Also, many of the debts had been sold to other companies with strange names like LVNV and to debt collection law firms, who didn't want to make a reasonable deal. Even if she could get overtime again or even a second job, she wouldn't be able to pay enough to satisfy what the creditors wanted her to pay.
