Roe Taroff & Taitz LLP: Who They Are and What to Do If They Contact You About a Business Balance

What Roe Taroff & Taitz is

Taroff & Taitz, LLP (tarofftaitz.com), formerly Roe Taroff & Taitz, LLP and, in older records, Roe Taroff Taitz & Portman, LLP, 1 Corporate Drive, Suite 102, Bohemia, New York 11716, with a second listed office at 630 Johnson Avenue, Suite 105, Bohemia, phone (631) 475-4400. Martindale records the firm as established in 1999. Its site describes a full-service Long Island law firm licensed throughout New York State, organised into business (admiralty, bankruptcy, business formations, commercial litigation, financial institution representation, foreclosures, real estate), personal (estate planning, guardianships, personal injury, workouts) and a collection attorney practice: creditors' rights and collections, financial institution representation, foreclosures, evictions and workouts, summarised as when debtors owe you money, there is an obligation to pay it.

The Better Business Bureau has no profile for the firm as of September 24, 2026, so there is no rating, accreditation or complaint file to report.

What it is not: a funder, a lender or a merchant cash advance provider. There is no Taroff advance, no factor rate and no reconciliation clause of its own. The words as attorney on the old page title came from a filing index, where the firm's name follows the creditor it acts for. If our earlier page led you to expect a funder, disregard it.

Where it appears in the court record

• Counsel and notice address for business lenders. In Michael and Lisa Raso (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. 8-20-73381, November 2020) the creditor list reads The Business Backer LLC, c/o Roe Taroff & Taitz LLP, 630 Johnson Avenue, Suite 105. The Business Backer is a small-business lender and revenue-based financier, which is the closest the record comes to a merchant cash advance connection.
• Creditor's counsel and trustee's special counsel in Long Island bankruptcies. The firm appears as a scheduled creditor for 213,755.60 dollars in NRAD Medical Associates (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. 8-15-72898, 2015), was approved as special counsel to the Chapter 7 trustee in Cool Sheetmetal, Inc. (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. 8-13-74652, order of July 10, 2015), and appears in GDH Capital Corporation, Micro Contract Manufacturing and several individual Chapter 7 cases between 2012 and 2020.
• Commercial and admiralty litigation. Sterling Commercial Credit, LLC v. Federal Electrical Utilities, Inc. (E.D.N.Y. 2010), a factoring dispute, and Wilmington Trust Company v. M/V My 3 Ladies (S.D. Fla. 2010), a vessel case, both carry the firm's name, consistent with the admiralty and financial-institution practice on its site.
• CourtListener returns 18 federal dockets for the firm's names in total, the most recent from 2020. The firm's core collection work is in New York State courts, which CourtListener does not index.

No regulatory action or disciplinary record against the firm was located in the sources checked.

Why a business owner hears from the firm

Because a creditor, a business lender, a factor, a bank or a landlord, placed the account with it for suit or collection. The firm is the creditor's counsel; the agreement, the payment history, the personal guaranty and any UCC filing belong to the creditor, and that paperwork decides what can be argued. Because the firm also handles workouts, a letter from it is not necessarily the step before a summons; it can be the opening of a negotiation.

What to establish from your own paperwork

• Which creditor, which agreement and what balance. Ask in writing, at 1 Corporate Drive, Suite 102, Bohemia, NY 11716, for the creditor's name, the agreement date, the amounts advanced or financed, every payment or debit credited and the balance claimed.
• Whether a suit or judgment already exists, and where. Search NYSCEF, Suffolk County in particular, for the business name and the guarantor's name. If a summons exists, the answer deadline runs from service, usually 20 or 30 days.
• The reconciliation clause (revenue-based balances). If revenue fell and the funder refused or ignored a reconciliation request, that is the centre of most MCA disputes. Pull the clause and the request history before you agree to anything.
• Whether the FDCPA applies. A merchant cash advance or business loan is a commercial transaction, so the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act generally does not apply. New York's rules of professional conduct and the general prohibitions on misrepresentation still bind the firm.
• Any UCC filing, confession of judgment or personal guaranty. These decide what can be reached and how fast. See how MCA debt relief works.

If a lawsuit has been filed

The plaintiff will be the creditor, with the firm as counsel. Answer before the deadline; a default judgment ends the negotiation. See what to do if a creditor represented by Roe Taroff & Taitz sues.

Can the balance be settled?

Usually, if the underlying account is real. The firm lists workouts as a service, and placed balances settle within limits the creditor sets; a documented revenue drop, bank statements and a realistic lump sum or schedule tend to be heard, before or after a suit is filed. See how a balance Roe Taroff & Taitz is collecting can be settled.
