About Andy
There are lawyers who chase courtroom headlines and those who handle the steady, inevitable legal work that follows financial trouble. Andy Miofsky belongs to the latter group. His career has been rooted in consumer bankruptcy law and in the communities where his clients live.
Miofsky earned his J.D. from Washington University School of Law in 1976. A few years later he opened his own practice. Since 1979 he has been the lawyer and owner of A Bankruptcy Lawyer Andy Miofsky. That long stretch in practice means he has handled the changes in bankruptcy law, court procedures and local practice over decades.
His work centers on consumer bankruptcy matters. He represents individuals and families confronting overwhelming debt. His practice has involved Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings, routine case administration and negotiations with creditors. He also guides clients through the practical steps of filing and the follow-through that a bankruptcy case requires.
Professional involvement has been a steady part of Miofsky’s career. Since 2004 he has served as State Chair for Downstate Illinois for the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers. In that role he has connected with other attorneys who handle consumer insolvency issues across Illinois and helped sustain a professional network outside the Chicago area.
Miofsky maintains multiple offices to serve clients across the region. He sees clients in Granite City, in the Glen Carbon/Edwardsville area, and at an office in Mount Vernon. Operating out of those locations, he has built a practice that stays close to local courts and trustees, which can shape how individual bankruptcy cases are handled.
Colleagues and clients describe him as a practitioner who prefers steady work to publicity. He has been present in the field through several major legislative and procedural changes since the late 1970s. That continuity has informed how he approaches filings and client counseling.
Today he continues to practice at A Bankruptcy Lawyer Andy Miofsky. He focuses on consumer bankruptcy and related matters.
