About Robert
Robert Manchel is admitted to practice law in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He leads a practice that bears his name, Manchel New Jersey Bankruptcy Law, and concentrates on bankruptcy matters for individuals and businesses. He has built his work around the statutory framework that governs insolvency and related litigation in those states.
Manchel's path into bankruptcy work has been steady rather than theatrical. He operates from multiple offices under the Manchel New Jersey Bankruptcy Law banner. Over the years he has handled a range of cases that arise when people and small enterprises confront mounting debt. His practice includes filing petitions, negotiating with creditors, and guiding clients through court confirmation and discharge processes.
Clients and colleagues describe Manchel as straightforward in his courtroom manner. He opts for clear legal explanations over jargon. That approach carries into his written pleadings as well. In contested matters he pursues procedural remedies available under the Bankruptcy Code and state law. He also represents debtors in hearings on relief from stay, asset valuation hearings, and plan confirmation contests when they occur.
Manchel works in both consumer and business bankruptcy contexts. In consumer cases he assists households seeking relief through Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 filings. In business matters he addresses liquidation and reorganization issues, advising proprietors on options for restructuring obligations. He also interacts with trustees, creditors’ committees, and the various court-appointed professionals that participate in larger cases. His courtroom work is complemented by negotiation outside the courthouse, where settlements often resolve disputes sooner.
Outside active litigation, Manchel attends to the procedural and compliance tasks that keep cases moving. He prepares schedules, communicates with trustees, and files required motions. Those parts of the work are less dramatic but essential to an orderly bankruptcy process. He maintains offices under the Manchel New Jersey Bankruptcy Law name and serves clients across New Jersey and in Pennsylvania. He currently practices at Manchel New Jersey Bankruptcy Law, handling bankruptcy matters for clients in both jurisdictions.
