About Angel M. Van
Angel M. Van Wieren is an attorney based in Atlanta who built a small practice centered on bankruptcy work. He earned his J.D. from Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School and later gained admission to practice in Georgia and before the Federal Circuit. His education provided the foundation for a career that has remained tied to consumer bankruptcy and related federal filings.
Van Wieren began his legal career in 2008 at Ames & Kent, LLC. He spent that initial period handling client matters and learning the practical demands of consumer bankruptcy representation. One year later he opened his own firm. In 2009 he became the lawyer-owner of Van Wieren Law Office, LLC, an office he still operates in Atlanta. That move shifted him from associate duties to the broader responsibilities of running a small law firm and representing clients directly.
Over the years Van Wieren has handled consumer bankruptcy filings and occasional bankruptcy litigation. He holds membership in the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers, a professional group that connects attorneys who practice in that area. His practice records show a steady focus on individual debt relief, creditor negotiations, and court filings related to Chapters 7 and 13. He has represented clients at different stages of the bankruptcy process, from initial counseling through confirmation and discharge where appropriate.
Running a small firm has required attention to both casework and operations. Van Wieren’s role as owner meant he also handled client intake, court deadlines, and the administrative tasks that accompany solo practice. He has experience presenting matters in bankruptcy court and filing appeals where necessary in the federal appellate system. His admissions allow him to bring matters that implicate federal bankruptcy law before the relevant tribunals.
Colleagues and clients tend to describe his work in pragmatic terms. He communicates case options and the likely steps that follow. He prepares the documents required by bankruptcy trustees and attends hearings when clients need representation. As a lawyer practicing in Atlanta, he keeps an active calendar of consumer bankruptcy cases and related proceedings in the region.
He currently practices bankruptcy law from his Atlanta office, handling consumer bankruptcy matters and related litigation.
