Background
Our law firm was formed by consumer rights attorney Michael L. Hurwitz, Esq. in the year 2011.
Michael received his undergraduate degree from New York University in the year 2002 and received his law degree from Hofstra University in the year 2005. Michael was admitted to the practice of law in the State of New York in the year 2006, and has since been admitted to practice law in the United States District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, which includes, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and all of New York City.
Michael regularly appears in the Civil Court of the City of New York as well as the New York State Supreme Court to defend New Yorkers against un-fair debt collection practices. Michael opposes debt collection and garnishment lawyers such as Forster & Garbus LLP suing on a debt owed to the collection agency Midland Funding LLC, or Daniels Norelli Scully & Cecere PC suing on a debt claimed by debt buyer CACH LLC.
Prior to forming his own law firm, Michael spent several years working for prominent debtor-creditor law firms in New York City.
