His work includes fair debt collection, fair credit reporting, credit card debt lawsuits, and debt-related arbitration.

Based in Syracuse, with an office in Albany, he serves clients throughout New York State. His practice focuses on helping consumers understand their rights and address claims made against them.

Anthony studied at Colgate University and earned a Juris Doctor from Syracuse University College of Law. He has practiced law since 1983 and is admitted to the New York State courts and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York. His education and decades of legal work inform his approach to consumer disputes. He draws on that background to examine the facts behind a claim, explain the process to clients, and help them decide how to respond.

Anthony’s career has included work as a state prosecutor, bank lawyer, agency counsel, and collection lawyer. Those roles gave him experience with legal claims from several perspectives before he focused on helping consumers. He assists people who dispute a debt, question the amount claimed, or face repeated collection calls and letters. His practice also covers responses to credit card lawsuits and arbitration claims. For clients who discover that a judgment has been entered against them, he can discuss the available legal options.

Anthony J. Pietrafesa is a member of the National Association of Consumer Advocates. He brings his experience with banks, collection matters, and court proceedings to work for people facing financial claims. His guidance addresses both the immediate problem and the steps a consumer needs to take next, whether that means responding to a lawsuit, reviewing collection activity, or raising a credit reporting concern.
