Attorney Profile
ABOUT ROBERT J. NAHOUM
I was born and raised to a working-class family in the Bronx, New York. I attended public schools in the Bronx from pre-school all the way though high-school. As much as I learned in school, I learned on the streets, the stoops and the playground. I have taken that street-sense and applied it to everything I do in my life, especially my law practice. I’ve spent more than 12 years in the civil and city courts throughout New York State working on debtor cases. In my career I have seen it all; first working as a debt collector attorney for a gas and electric company; then as white-shoe associate for some of the nation’s premier “tall-building” law-firms working on million dollar debt cases. Now on my own, working day and night to defend consumers in debt cases and protect them from unscrupulous debt collectors. All the while, one thing has remained and guided my success – the education I got growing up in the Bronx. There are few tricks I haven’t seen and even fewer fights I won’t take head on; I tell it like it is and I expect the same from my adversaries. From Staten Island to Manhattan, Brooklyn to Queens, the Bronx to Westchester, Nassau Suffolk, Rockland and beyond – I don’t need a GPS to tell me how to get to the Courthouse, I already know the way because I’ve already been there. Trust is one of the most valuable concerns when hiring a lawyer. You have to trust that the lawyer is telling all that you have to hear, you need to trust that that lawyer is truly looking out for you and not his own wallet, you have to trust that your lawyer is handling your case competently and you have to trust that your lawyer is not taking you for a ride. I take that trust seriously because if I was hiring a lawyer I would expect nothing less. My clients trust me because I am like them. I know what it means to struggle and I know what it means to fight. I always tell my clients that my job is to make their problems easier not harder. That is my guiding principal in every case I handle. That is the reason I always call my clients back, that is the reason I spend as much time with my client as they need to solve their problems. Just as important, that is the reason I have structured my legal fees in a way that balances my need to earn a living and feed my kids with my clients’ needs to get their problems solved. My clients will never have sticker shock, they will always know how much their case might cost and will always know what to expect when the bills comes.
