About Andy
Andy Winchell studied French at Amherst College, earning a B.A. in 1986, before turning to law at the University of Southern California, where he received his J.D. in 1993. His academic path combined the humanities and professional training, and those early choices helped shape an approach that balances practical lawyering with attention to detail.
After finishing law school, Winchell entered private practice. Over the years he built a practice centered on consumer bankruptcy. He is admitted to practice in California, New Jersey and New York. His membership in the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers, which he joined in 2010, marks an ongoing connection to practitioners who handle personal insolvency matters.

He handles filings, court procedures and the paperwork that accompanies Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases. He also counsels clients on the consequences of bankruptcy and the practical steps that follow a filing. His practice style favors clear explanations and steady handling of case details. That approach matters in bankruptcy work, where small mistakes can have long-term effects.
Outside the courtroom, Winchell draws on a background in the liberal arts. His study of French and the broader liberal curriculum at Amherst inform how he communicates complex ideas.

Through that time he has run his own office and handled a range of consumer matters that intersect with bankruptcy law.
