The Law Office of Nosson T. Abrams P.C.: Who They Are and What to Do If They Contact You About a Business Balance
The Law Office of Nosson T. Abrams, P.C. is a one-attorney New York law practice, registered with the state court system at 99 West Hawthorne Avenue, Suite 316, Valley Stream, Long Island, whose principal, Nosson Tzvi Abrams, was admitted in New York in 2006. It is not a funder and not a lender. The name appears on creditor schedules in seven small-business and personal bankruptcies filed in Texas, California, New Jersey and elsewhere between 2018 and 2020, which is what a collection attorney working for placed accounts looks like in the record. There is no firm website and no BBB profile. An earlier version of this page described the firm as an MCA funder and quoted factor rates for it. That was wrong and has been removed. If this office is writing to you, a creditor has placed the account with it, and the paperwork behind that account decides what happens next.

The Law Office of Nosson T. Abrams, P.C., 99 West Hawthorne Avenue, Suite 316, Valley Stream, New York 11580, phone (516) 259-0050, per the New York State Office of Court Administration attorney registration for Nosson Tzvi Abrams (registration 4398988, admitted 2006, Benjamin N.

We found no website for the firm, and the Better Business Bureau has no profile under the name as of September 24, 2026.
What it is not: a funder, a lender or a merchant cash advance provider. There is no Abrams advance, no factor rate and no reconciliation clause of its own. If our earlier page led you to expect any of those, disregard it.
Where the name appears in the court record
- Creditor contact on bankruptcy schedules, 2018 to 2020. CourtListener returns the name in JBM Janitorial Maintenance, Inc. and Viridiana Garcia Martinez (Bankr. S.D. Tex., both filed May 23, 2018), William and Autumn Duke (Bankr. E.D. Tex. 19-40495, February 2019), Ralph and Barbara Jones (Bankr. N.D. Tex. 19-42385, June 2019), Carey Skorski (Bankr. D.N.J. 19-24224, July 2019), Stanley Greaux and Kathryn Menzer-Greaux (Bankr. C.D. Cal. 2:19-bk-18967, July 2019) and Devinderpal Singh (Bankr. E.D. Cal. 20-10905, March 2020). A Long Island attorney listed as the creditor contact in Texas and California bankruptcies is the signature of a New York funder's collection counsel; the schedules do not tell us which funder.
- No filings after 2020 in the federal record under this name, and no published New York decision we could find, which suggests a small collection docket rather than a volume practice.
- The name also appears once in an unrelated 2024 exhibit (a list of letters in support of a defendant's sentencing in United States v. Gulkarov, S.D.N.Y.), which says nothing about the firm's practice.
No regulatory action or disciplinary record was located in the sources checked.
Why a business owner hears from the firm
Because a creditor, most likely a New York merchant cash advance funder, placed the account with it for collection or suit. The attorney is the funder's counsel; the agreement, the debit history, the personal guaranty and any UCC filing belong to the funder, and that paperwork decides what can be argued.
What to establish from your own paperwork
- Which funder, which agreement and what balance. Ask in writing, at 99 West Hawthorne Avenue, Suite 316, Valley Stream, NY 11580, for the funder's name, the agreement date, the purchased and payback amounts, every debit taken and the balance claimed.
- Whether a suit or judgment already exists, and where. Search NYSCEF, Nassau 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. 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 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 attorney.
- 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 funder, with the firm as counsel. Answer before the deadline; a default judgment ends the negotiation. See what to do if a funder represented by the Abrams firm sues.
Can the balance be settled?
Usually, if the underlying advance is real. A small collection practice has every reason to close a file, and placed MCA balances settle within limits the funder sets; a documented revenue drop, bank statements and a realistic lump sum or schedule tend to be heard. Get the funder's sign-off in writing. See how a balance the Abrams firm is collecting can be settled.
Business Debt Adjusters reviews the agreement, the debit history and any filings, and tells you what is realistic before you commit to anything.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is The Law Office of Nosson T. Abrams a merchant cash advance company?
No. It is a one-attorney Long Island law practice registered with the New York courts, whose name appears as a creditor contact on bankruptcy schedules in several states. It does not fund advances or loans.
Is The Law Office of Nosson T. Abrams legitimate?
Nosson Tzvi Abrams is a currently registered New York attorney admitted in 2006, with a registered office in Valley Stream. The firm has no website and no BBB profile. Legitimate does not mean the balance claimed is correct; ask for the funder's name and an itemised account in writing.
Why is the Abrams firm contacting my business?
A creditor, most likely a New York merchant cash advance funder, placed your account with it for collection or suit. Find out which funder, which agreement and whether a suit already exists before responding by phone.
Does the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act apply to an MCA balance a law firm is collecting?
Generally no, because a merchant cash advance is a commercial transaction. Attorney conduct rules and the general prohibitions on misrepresentation still apply, and a personal guaranty can bring the owner's own protections into play.
What should a business owner do after a letter from the Abrams firm?
Identify the funder and the agreement, request an itemised balance in writing, search NYSCEF for any filed case, pull the reconciliation clause and the guaranty, and get the paperwork reviewed before agreeing to a number or missing an answer deadline.
