About Attorney Edwin M. Adeson

Edwin Adeson Bankruptcy Lawyer Glens Falls AttorneyI am a bankruptcy attorney with more than 30 years of legal experience and over 3,000 bankruptcy filings completed for clients in Warren, Washington, and Saratoga counties. I opened The Law Offices of Edwin M. Adeson in 1998 and have dedicated my practice exclusively to Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy since 2010. No other lawyer in the region handles the volume of bankruptcy cases that I do — typically 10 to 12 filings every month — and local attorneys regularly refer their clients to me when bankruptcy issues arise.

A Practice Built on Focus and Experience

I began my career in 1995 practicing real estate, criminal law, family law, and bankruptcy. In 2010, I narrowed my focus to my true area of expertise:

  • Consumer bankruptcy (Chapter 7 & Chapter 13)

  • Attorney for the Child in Warren and Washington County Family Court (custody, visitation, neglect, juvenile delinquency, and PINS matters)

This combination of work gives me a deep understanding of how financial hardship affects families, and it allows me to provide compassionate, judgment-free representation.

3,000+ Bankruptcy Filings — A True Local Specialist

Bankruptcy law is highly technical and requires specialized training and experience. Many attorneys only handle an occasional bankruptcy case. I focus on bankruptcy every day — and local lawyers know this. Roughly 20% of my clients are referred to me by other attorneys, a strong reflection of my reputation, professionalism, and the trust I have earned in the community.

Education and Professional Involvement

  • Union College — B.A., 1991

  • Hofstra University School of Law — J.D., 1994

  • Member: Warren County Bar Association

  • Member: Washington County Bar Association

I have also lectured on bankruptcy law for the Warren County Bar Association, the Washington County Bar Association, and the Adirondack Paralegal Association. Earlier in my career, I was regularly interviewed and quoted by the Glens Falls Post-Star on consumer bankruptcy topics.

Recognition

I received the Best of 2019 Glens Falls Award for Financial Consulting, an acknowledgment of the service and guidance I provide to individuals experiencing financial stress.

Why Local Lawyers Trust Me With Their Clients

Bankruptcy is a niche field — the learning curve is steep, and the laws and procedures change regularly. While attorneys from other fields can easily step into matters like real estate closings or family law cases, bankruptcy demands ongoing study, technical knowledge, and real-world experience. My colleagues know that I practice this area of law daily, and they refer clients to me because they trust that I will help those individuals navigate a difficult situation with accuracy, care, and respect.

“I thought I was never going to be able to ever get credit again. I am a single mom recently divorced. I had way too much credit card debt. I got referred to Mr. Adeson for bankruptcy. I never imagined I would ever have to file bankruptcy in my life. I was so scared. But Mr. Adeson sat down with me and explained the entire process. It was not nearly as bad as I imagined it was going to be. The process to file bankruptcy was fairly easy. I am now debt free. My creditors never contacted me again after fling the bankruptcy. I purchased a vehicle 8 months after filing my bankruptcy at a 3.9% interest rate and only 2 years after filing my bankruptcy I am in the process of purchasing a house and I have been pre-approved for a mortgage at 4.5% interest. I owe it all Mr. Adeson. Anybody who has financial problems out there go see Mr. Adeson. He did a fantastic job and I highly recommend him.”

Jessica Blanchard, 5 Star Facebook Review

“I got injured with no medical insurance and had huge medical bills and I also had some credit card debt. I did not know what to do. I thought about contacting one of these internet companies that promise to get you out of debt but heard they were mostly scams. Several people referred me to Ed Adeson. Ed spoke with me on the phone for about 20 minutes. He was so understanding and advised me that bankruptcy was my best option, Ed immediately set up an appointment in person and got my paperwork filed within the week. I am now debt free and I have reestablished my credit in less than 6 months and I was able to get a car loan. I am so thankful that I called Ed and got out of debt. If you need to file bankruptcy definitely call Ed as he is compassionate, efficient and knows exactly what his is doing.”
