Ryan Cooney has concentrated his practice in commercial bankruptcy and out-of-court remedies for distressed companies.

Having litigated every manner of business dispute and rescued many businesses from the brink of insolvency, our attorneys also provide front-end business advice and representation in business formation, contracts and transactions.

A Family Firm Focused On Service

As a family-owned law practice, we understand the pressures that small businesses face. Legal disputes or commercial debt problems can threaten your enterprise and may spill over into your personal finances. Our lawyers make a conscious effort to be responsive and accessible to our clients so that they can address conflicts promptly and keep our clients’ options open.

In litigation, our attorneys are resolution-minded and will not waste our clients’ money unnecessarily. Yet they are effective trial lawyers when disputes must be settled by a judge or jury.

The Cooney Law Offices welcomes attorney referrals on Chapter 11 reorganization and bankruptcy adversary proceedings, and we invite business owners and individuals to arrange a consultation. Call 412-753-6272 or reach out by email.
