About the Firm
Built for Creditor Strategy. Structured for Results.
At The Law Office of Magdalena Zalewski PLLC, we do more than litigate—we serve as strategic partners for commercial creditors navigating the complexities of bankruptcy court. Our boutique structure is not a limitation—it’s an intentional design. We deliver specialized, outcome-driven representation that large firms often promise, but rarely personalize.
We’re not here to impress with size. We’re here to make an impact.
When you hire us, your case is never passed down a chain of junior associates or buried behind layers of administrative process. Every decision is made with clarity, responsiveness, and tactical foresight—because in bankruptcy litigation, timing, tone, and technical command are everything.
How We Operate Differently
We’re niche by design.
Our focus isn’t divided across practice groups or industries. We specialize exclusively in creditor-side bankruptcy litigation, which means our insight is sharper, our strategies more refined, and our execution faster.
Your risk is our roadmap.
From the moment we’re retained, we assess not only the legal framework—but the reputational, operational, and financial exposures involved. Our role is to reduce risk, not simply “litigate.”
We collaborate quietly, strategically.
Many of our clients are referred by general counsel or law firms that trust us to handle matters discreetly and decisively. We welcome co-counsel arrangements and custom engagements that protect your position while complementing your broader legal strategy.

Not Just Counsel—Clarity
“Clients don’t just need legal answers—they need clarity and strategy. That’s what we provide.”
You won’t receive vague updates, recycled templates, or reactive legal advice. Instead, you’ll have a clear understanding of options, leverage points, and timing—before anyone else does.
We offer the same level of rigor to a $40,000 preference claim as we do to a multimillion-dollar dispute, because what matters is not the number—it’s the exposure.
What’s Next?
We welcome inquiries from commercial clients facing bankruptcy-related litigation or those seeking strategic insight early in the process.
