About
William S. Wolfson, Attorney at Law
I am a third generation Hunterdon County, New Jersey
resident. My family has lived and worked in Hunterdon
County since 1918 when my grandfather bought a farm near
Frenchtown. In 1938, he and my now 91 year old uncle
started a farm equipment sales and service business.
I attended Hunterdon Central High School and graduated
in 1969 Except for college and law school, I have lived
and worked in Hunterdon County practically all of my now
52 years. Still unspoiled Hunterdon County is the best
place to live and work in New Jersey. My friends when I
was growing up are still my friends and some times my
clients. Yes, I handle other kinds of cases besides
personal and business bankruptcy cases also.
In 1973 I graduated from Temple University in
Philadelphia and attended Widener University School of
Law. I graduated from Widener in 1976 and joined a small
insurance defense firm where I learned how to try cases
in front of a judge and jury. I convinced my boss that
we should have a practice in bankruptcy and debtor
–creditor law and began a successful practice that has
continued to this day serving national clients and local
businesses and individuals.
In 1978 I began my own practice focusing on bankruptcy,
debtor creditor, real estate and civil trial law.
Because bankruptcy cuts across all areas of law and
involves many very difficult challenges, my over quarter
century of experience in different areas of the law and
with people from all backgrounds lets me better help my
clients through tough, often painful times.
In my firm we use technology to provide a higher level
of service to those who have entrusted us with their
legal problems. We can file an emergency bankruptcy
petition and other bankruptcy court documents over the
internet to immediately stop creditors from taking away
a client’s home, automobile, bank account or other
property.
Our bankruptcy case preparation is speeded by the latest
software. While a client sits across from my desk we can
obtain his or her credit history and download it into a
complete bankruptcy petition no matter how many debts
are involved. Using this website our clients are able to to see their files and
communicate with our firm electronically and
confidentially when the client’s unique password is
entered. This permits our clients to view their case
status, learn hearing dates and see our progress towards
accomplishing their goals at any time.
I truly enjoy what I do. I like to think I make a real
difference in people’s lives and to get them through a
rough time. I spend almost a week a year attending
continuing legal education courses and seminars so I can
keep up and serve my clients better. I enjoy speaking
and writing about legal topics. If you would like a
speaker for your group please give me a call at
908-782-9333 or end me an email
and I will be happy to make a presentation to your
group.
I have been married to Barbara for 25 years. We enjoy
reading, traveling, animals, boating, the beach, hiking
and just being out doors. I am a passionate New York
Yankees fan in the summer and root for the Jets, Eagles
and Green Bay Packers in the autumn. I recently began
learning about wood working and salt water fishing.
I know how tough this time can be for any one. That is
why our first office meeting is at no charge.
