The Berlinsky Law Firm, PA, d/b/a Berlinsky Bankruptcy Firm, is owned  and managed by Stephen J. Berlinsky. The firm focuses on helping  people who are in financial distress.

Mr. Berlinsky, an attorney since 1969, has been a foreclosure  attorney since 1980. After representing banks and mortgage companies  for many years, since January 2004 Mr. Berlinsky has represented  homeowners and people with credit problems throughout the state of  Florida.

The firm's primary office is in downtown Clermont at 637 8th Street  (352-394-1883), across from The News Leader. Offices in Leesburg and  Eustis were opened six months ago to accommodate the needs of people  throughout Lake County.

The firm offers free consultations to determine whether a foreclosure  defense or bankruptcy is appropriate. For people trying to save their  home, often by prolonging the foreclosure, the lender is reluctantly brought to the bargaining table.

Often Mr. Berlinsky will extend the free consultation to explore  options available for prospective clients to find a job or redirect  their lives. Mr. Berlinsky feels a consultation is a success for him  whether he acquires a new client or not if the prospective client  leaves his office with a positive plan for getting through these  challenging financial times.

The bankruptcy department carefully collects and reviews your  financial information to prepare a bankruptcy petition. Mr. Berlinsky  personally reviews all petitions prior to filing. The foreclosure  defense/modification department audits all files and provides written  reports on the status of a client's case.
