Experience Counts

At Urban & Burt, Ltd., your bankruptcy will be handled by skilled experienced attorneys who concentrate in the area of Bankruptcy Law. All cases are supervised by Edmund G. Urban III who has over 36 years of Bankruptcy experience handling thousands of Consumer and complex Business bankruptcies. Edmund is a long time member of the American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) (abi.org) the nation’s most prestigious organization for bankruptcy professionals in the U.S. and internationally. You will meet with Edmund for a free consultation where he will learn about your situation and develop a plan of attack to address your issues and solve your problems.

Our reputation is that we are highly competent and insure that things are done right the first time. We see far too many people who come into our office trying to fix situations when others have not done their job in a competent manner. By having skilled attorneys working with our clients, we can insure the best possible outcome.

In addition to Edmund, you will also deal with Leslie Cohen McGregor who is also a member of the ABI and who has over 13 years experience representing debtors in consumer cases as well as complex commercial cases. Leslie is responsible for the entry of all client information into the bankruptcy software to insure that there are no errors. Errors on schedules is often a serious problem at the big bankruptcy mills when information is added by unskilled individuals who don’t understand the consequences of the information being provided. Having a skilled lawyer review the information provided by the client and input it directly into the bankruptcy software we cut out these errors and mistakes. Leslie also prepares all documents and motions filed in your case. In court and at trustee meetings, you will be represented either by Edmund or Dale A. Hauser III. Dale has over nine years experience and practices regularly before the bankruptcy court. You will also work with our paralegal, Kathy Judge, who is responsible for assisting you to gather necessary documents and coordinating with you in scheduling your required credit counseling. We have built an effective team to provide you with the best possible representation. For over 64 years, our firm has represented debtors in bankruptcies providing the fresh start guaranteed under our Constitution.
