About Dave
Dave Falvey is an attorney admitted to practice in Connecticut and authorized to appear before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court. He has built a practice around consumer bankruptcy work and related litigation, and his court admissions reflect that breadth of appellate and federal experience. Colleagues describe him as steady in court and exacting in preparation.
Falvey holds board certification in consumer bankruptcy through The American Board of Certification, a credential that signals specialized training and examination in this area. He also maintains associations with national and regional organizations tied to bankruptcy practice. Those affiliations include membership in the American Bankruptcy Institute, the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA), and the National Consumer Law Center. He is listed among New England’s Best Attorneys: Super-Attorneys and is an associate member of both the National Association of Chapter 7 Trustees and the National Association of Chapter 13 Trustees.
His work typically touches the everyday problems people face when dealing with unmanageable debt. He handles Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases, represents clients in contested proceedings, and files appeals where legal issues reach higher courts. The certifications and trustee association memberships suggest regular interaction with bankruptcy trustees, creditors’ counsel, and federal courts. He has experience in drafting pleadings, negotiating plans, and advising clients on the practical effects of bankruptcy filings.
Falvey’s courtroom practice extends beyond trial court work. Admission to the Second Circuit and the Supreme Court gives him the procedural reach to argue issues on appeal when cases raise broader legal questions. That appellate capability complements the trial-level work he performs in Connecticut’s bankruptcy courts. He has developed routines for case management and client counseling that align with the procedural demands of both district and appellate practice.
Outside of formal credentials, Falvey’s professional profile is shaped by steady membership in industry organizations and a string of certifications that mark specialization. Those markers make clear where his expertise lies without relying on promotional claims. He maintains ties to trustee networks and consumer law groups that inform his approach to individual and contested bankruptcy matters.
He currently practices at Action Advocacy, PC, handling consumer bankruptcy and related litigation.
