Nathan Horowitz, Esq
Since June 1982 1 have had my own practice in White Plains, New York. In November 1995, my second office in Putnam County, in Carmel, New York. Although my practice has always emphasized bankruptcy, my legal experience has been broad, covering all types of personal and business issues and transactions, including real estate, corporate matters, including establishing corporations, shareholder or partnership agreements, buy and sell agreements; collections of amounts due; Wills and Estates.
My bankruptcy practice and experience is extensive, representing both debtors and creditors, in a very wide range of matters. My clients have included individuals; small businesses, such as a bookstore, pharmacy and a coin and stamp exchange; to a fur trader; national mail order catalogue; and a bus company.
The Westchester and New York State Bar Associations have invited me to speak at lawyer continuing education
seminars.
My topics have been bankruptcy in general and in particular, the interplay of bankruptcy and divorce law.

Continuing Education:

In addition, I teach at continuing legal education seminars, on bankruptcy law. The courses taken, and credits earned, have always exceeded the minimum hours required for lawyers by New York State..
Papers and Publications:
Since opening my own practice in 1982, I have written several articles for local bar association journals and newsletters on bankruptcy; and the interplay and interaction between bankruptcy, divorce and real estate.
Sample Cases:
In the past couple of years, I have successfully represented clients who have sold their homes as part of a bankruptcy,
In these sales, the clients have been allowed to retain funds for themselves, including necessary moving expenses,
rather than lose the house to foreclosure and loss of their entire investment. One of these cases involved a heavily
emotional and contested divorce proceeding in which I was able to obtain certain agreements and results between the spouses that their divorce counsel was unable to accomplish. The two banks holding mortgages agreed to wait until sale; and the resulting sale allowed my client to recoup a substantial sum of money from the proceeds of sale.
