Bela S. Roongta

Bela S. Roongta is an attorney with the Bankruptcy Law Office of Richard A. Check in Milwaukee. Roongta brings a varied legal background to a practice serving individuals and businesses facing financial and legal challenges. Her earlier work included civil and criminal tax litigation as well as advocacy for people affected by domestic violence. That experience gives her perspective on contested proceedings, client counseling, and the practical pressures that often accompany significant legal problems.

Roongta graduated from the University of Iowa College of Law. After law school, she moved to Milwaukee and began working as an advocate with the Task Force on Family Violence. She later joined a boutique law firm handling civil and criminal tax litigation. Her education and early professional roles developed skills in legal analysis, courtroom advocacy, and client communication across matters involving financial, personal, and procedural complexity.

After approximately six years in private practice, Roongta returned to public-interest work as director of courthouse advocacy. That role built on her earlier domestic-violence advocacy and gave her additional experience helping people navigate court processes during difficult circumstances. Her combined background in tax litigation, client advocacy, and legal service informs her current work in a bankruptcy practice, where clients often need clear explanations, organized preparation, and practical guidance through financially stressful proceedings.

Bela S. Roongta has received a Governor’s Special Recognition Trailblazer Award for Women in Business and has remained involved in volunteer legal service. Her career reflects experience in private litigation and community-based advocacy, with a consistent emphasis on helping people navigate legal systems. Roongta brings that background to bankruptcy-related client work, pairing litigation experience with an understanding of the financial and personal concerns that can shape a client’s need for legal relief.
