My name is Alia Khan Abedelal. I am a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, and attorney. I have been a practicing Attorney since 2007. In the last 17 years of practicing law, no other area of law has held a special place in my heart like Bankruptcy Law. I wanted to help people desperate to fix their financial situation and give them a true resolution in a short time. Other areas of law take years to finalize. Bankruptcy is the one area that can be resolved in a few short months and my clients are on their way to financial freedom after their debts are discharged.
Taking the fear out of debt and bankruptcy is my mission. I have worked with married couples with children, single moms and dads, people who work a 9-5 but can barely afford anything after taxes, homeowners who have found themselves house rich – but have no savings, disabled individuals, senior citizens living on social security, and military members. Whatever your specific situation is – I am confident I can help you.
I understand your financial worries and want to see my clients reclaim not only their finances but their lives and health – both mental and physical. Stress, embarrassment, and shame can all wreck havoc on our bodies, and I make it my goal to create a plan that shows them there is in fact light at the end of the tunnel.
Client Testimonial
Thank you so much Alia for your help, and explaining everything to me, you made this process effortless!!!! I can finally breathe thanks to you!
Alia and Angela were such a great help to get through this stressful process. They made it easy to follow, kept in contact via email/text/calls, and kept me accountable for submitting documents in a timely manner. No one ‘wants’ to go through bankruptcy, but if you need to, calling Alia would be my strong recommendation.
She and her team really help you understand everything that’s going to happen. Follow up about the paperwork and prepare you before going to court and explain everything. I’m very happy with the result. Thank you for being a great lawyer with no judgment. 🙏🏻 …

We met Alia at obviously a very stressful time in our life. We were embarrassed, defeated and just exhausted trying to figure out how to get ourselves out of the situation we had put ourselves in. From the moment we met her, she was kind and…

When I am not running a law practice, I am a mother to two lovable children. We love to go on hikes, build sandcastles on the beach and play at parks. My daughter and I love shopping at TJ Maxx. During my spare time, I watch old episodes of Law & Order and read crime novels, while trying to avoid heading to my 5 am workout class.
