About S. Joseph
S. Joseph Litvak blends advanced learn about and multi-state practice in a profession that spans bankruptcy, household regulation and tax things. He holds two master’s degrees in addition to a J.D., an aggregate that informs each legal proceedings and transactional work. The blend of credentials is a through-line in his expert life.
He earned a J.D. in 2014 from the University of Akron School of Law and completed a LL.M. in Intellectual Property there the same year. He later pursued graduate tax study at Villanova University, receiving a LL.M. in Tax in 2018. Those degrees reflect a planned pairing of technical topics and courtroom training.
Litvak is certified to practice in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and North Carolina. He belongs to several local and national bar organizations. He has been a member of the North Carolina State Bar since 2015. From 2016 onward he joined the Philadelphia Bar Association, the Bucks County Bar Association and the Pennsylvania Bar Association, and he is a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers. In 2017 he further membership in the New Jersey State Bar, the New York State Bar Association and the Brooklyn Bar Association. Within the Brooklyn Bar, he serves on the Bankruptcy and Family Law committees.
Those memberships align with the core areas of his practice. He has treated consumer insolvency matters and related household regulation questions, and his tax training allows him to address the fiscal consequences that often accompany those instances. The highbrow estate LL.M. is much less central to day-to-day insolvency work, however it informs transactional and counseling things when highbrow property rights are at issue in broader client things.
Litvak’s work has required navigating each court settings and negotiated resolutions. He advocates for people and handles filings, plan negotiations and contested things in bankruptcy courtroom. He also advises on the intersection of tax obligations and household law outcomes, explaining how one region can have an effect on the other. His multi-state admissions permit him to serve clients whose legal problems cross state lines or touch more than one jurisdictions.
He practices at Litvak Legal Group, PLLC, the place he manages cases that integrate bankruptcy, family regulation and tax concerns. That is the practical middle of his recent work: assisting clients tackle monetary distress, related home problems and the tax penalties that comply with.
