Eric S. Steiner, Esquire | Maryland Bankruptcy Attorney

Experience

Eric S. Steiner, managing member of Steiner Law Group, LLC, has helped business and consumer clients throughout Maryland discharge millions of dollars of debt. His practice focuses on representing those in financial distress - as both debtors and debtors-in-possession - in pre-bankruptcy and bankruptcy planning, transactions with bankruptcy estates, bankruptcy litigation and bankruptcy fraud, automatic stay and discharge injunction violations. He also advises clients on commercial loan and lease workouts and Article 9 litigation, as well as financing, insurance and contract disputes.

Mr. Steiner takes pride in counseling clients with compassion, empathy and understanding, while acting as a zealous advocate for them during times of difficulty. A sought-after speaker and writer, he regularly educates audiences on all facets of bankruptcy - presenting to such audiences as the Maryland Society of Accounting & Tax Professionals, Exit Planning Exchange, the Maryland Association for Justice, the Maryland LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce and the Collaborative Professionals of Baltimore.

In his spare time, Mr. Steiner plays piano in a local wedding band and enjoys skiing, traveling and spending time with family and friends.
