I have more than 36 years of experience as a bankruptcy, creditors' rights and restructuring attorney. My practice also includes general commercial litigation in both the state and federal courts as well as corporate matters. Over the course of my career I have had significant involvement in some of the largest and most complex bankruptcy proceedings representing debtors, creditors, trustees and creditors' committees, and I have also represented small and medium sized businesses and individuals. In addition, I serve as a post-confirmation litigation trustee.
I began my career as the law clerk to the late Honorable Conrad B. Duberstein, Chief Judge of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York. Later I was a partner with several prestigious Am Law 100 law firms. Most recently, I operated a solo practice specializing in debtor and creditors' rights, litigation and general corporate matters. My success as a solo practitioner motivated me to form Rich Michaelson Magaliff, LLP with longstanding professional colleagues who share my passion for providing practical advice and superior representation at competitive rates.
I am the author of professional articles on bankruptcy and related topics, and I regularly sit on webinar panels. I enjoy a peer rating of AV from Martin-Hubbell, the highest ranking for legal skill and professional ethics.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
