Bankruptcy Cases, Judges and Trustees
I file cases in and for Essex County. The Bankruptcy Court in New Jersey is split into three parts or vicinages. Essex County cases are heard in the Bankruptcy Court located in Newark, New Jersey. Trustee meetings or meetings of creditors for Essex County are also held in Newark, at One Newark Center, on the corner of Raymond Boulevard and Route 21.
The Bankruptcy Judges for Essex County are Judges Gambardella, Sherwood, Papalia and Meisel. However, in most Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, you never need to see a judge.
Once you file, your Chapter 7 bankruptcy will be sent to a Bankruptcy Trustee panel, and one of the panel Trustees will be assigned to your individual case. That Trustee will be responsible for your case until his job is completed, he files a final report, and the judge signs and order to release him from the case. Some trustees also file cases for their own clients, but they cannot be assigned to their own cases.
When you file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Essex County, your case automatically gets assigned to the Bankruptcy Trustee for the Essex County vicinage - her name is Marie-Ann Greenberg. Either she or one of her assistants will conduct your meeting of creditors.
