Peter Lawin

Peter J. Lawin is a dedicated bankruptcy attorney who has focused his career on helping individuals facing serious financial stress. He began practicing law during the Great Recession, when many families were at risk of losing their homes. His early work centered on protecting homeowners from foreclosure and unfair lending practices. Through steady advocacy, he has guided clients toward practical solutions that restore stability and peace of mind.

Peter earned his undergraduate degree from Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois, where he majored in Political Science and History. After completing his studies, he moved to Minnesota to attend the University of Minnesota. He graduated with his Juris Doctorate in 2008. His academic background built a strong foundation in legal research, writing, and advocacy.

Peter concentrates his practice on bankruptcy law and related debt relief matters. He understands how aggressive collection efforts, mounting bills, and legal notices can overwhelm families. By carefully reviewing each client’s financial situation, he explains available options in clear terms. Whether stopping foreclosure proceedings or ending collection calls, he works to protect legal rights while creating a path toward a fresh start.

Peter Lawin continues to advocate for people who need a strong voice during difficult times, helping them move forward with clarity, dignity, and renewed financial hope. Peter believes bankruptcy law offers a powerful opportunity for renewal. During the foreclosure crisis, he saw firsthand how predatory lenders and unfair collection tactics harmed vulnerable homeowners. That experience shaped his commitment to stand beside individuals rather than large financial institutions. He values direct, one-on-one relationships and takes time to answer questions so clients feel informed and confident about their decisions.
