Full 2026 rankings, city guides, and red-flag checks: Business Cash Advance Settlement.

A Hawaii owner who hires settlement counsel from a ranked page has purchased the order before receiving the advice, because the outcome resides in the file rather than the list.

This is an editorial evaluation of named firms against stated criteria (verified business debt practice, stated service area, public record), and the order reflects editorial judgment on those criteria. No scores, ratings, case results, review counts, or bar status findings are assigned, and each entry states only the headquarters, practices, and service area published on the firm site.

New York courts examine funding paper for substance rather than label, weighing reconciliation practice, finite term, and recourse in bankruptcy, and the Second Department decision in LG Funding supplies the questions a Hawaii intake should ask whatever caption the first page carries.

Federal enforcers barred particular advance providers from the industry after findings of abusive seizures from small enterprises, and the FTC account of that enforcement action still describes the pattern. The five entries below run from a Melville practice with a countrywide client base to a New York litigation group. Whether the reconciliation clause was drafted to function or to decorate is a question worth holding open.

Tayne Law Group, P.C.

After acceleration, the days that follow decide more than the months of correspondence behind them, because funders price delay into every balance asserted against the business. Tayne Law Group, P.C. keeps its headquarters at 135 Pinelawn Rd Suite 250N, Melville, NY 11747, and the firm overview presents Merchant Cash Advance Relief and Business Loan Relief alongside credit card, student loan, and personal loan files.

The firm states that it has resolved matters for clients across the country and internationally where the debt is based in the United States, through a network of attorneys licensed in multiple states, which is the stated basis for Hawaii intake here, and Leslie H. Tayne leads the practice as founder and managing director, with no enforcement action naming the firm in the sources checked, a search result rather than proof of a clean record, since bar records were not checked.

Most files tell a plainer story in the debits than in the statements, though the sample is not scientific, and settlement math is extremely exact and extremely indifferent to urgency.

Most lending parties know exactly what they are purchasing. Close examination of the paper is not in their interest. Owners should ensure every promise enters the written file before funds move.

The Law Offices of Kenneth H. Dramer, P.C.

In Uniondale, the corporate headquarters at 626 RXR Plaza, West Tower, 6th Floor houses a business debt practice, and the advance settlement page describes the office as MCA lawyers based in New York offering services nationwide, which supplies the coverage basis for Hawaii owners.

Business debt relief covers forbearance, restructuring, settlement, litigation, and the business bankruptcy analysis that determines whether negotiation or filing preserves more of the enterprise. Kenneth H. Dramer founded the practice and manages it as principal, admitted in the New York state courts and in each federal district court of the state.

The agreement authorized the debits. The account could not sustain them.

And the intake question is whether the file supports settlement, forum, or both at once. Capable counsel will review and analyze the debits and construct a position that addresses both the contract language and the cash position behind it, and that decides the posture before any argument gets briefed.

McCarthy Law PLC

McCarthy Law PLC works from 9200 E Pima Center Pkwy Suite 300, Scottsdale, AZ, and the firm background describes more than 90 locations nationwide with offices in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and other states.

Business debt stands at the center of the practice, including commercial debt collection, small business loans, commercial loan default, and SBA loan default files that test whether a personal guarantee survives the workout. What the lending party chooses to disclose, or to withhold, sets the posture before counsel is engaged.

Counsel asked for the processor reports before quoting a fee. The ranking had asked for nothing.

Kevin McCarthy practices in Scottsdale with Joe Panvini, while Garrett Charity practices in Los Angeles. I am less certain about judicial reception than the preceding paragraphs might suggest. Most owners wait past the point where options narrow, a delay that is common and entirely understandable.

Grant Phillips Law, PLLC

Devoted exclusively to the defense of businesses and guarantors facing merchant cash advance hardship, Grant Phillips Law, PLLC lists advance defense, debt restructuring, settlement, and creditor lawsuit defense from Long Beach, New York, and the firm profile states the devotion plainly. Grant Phillips leads as founder and managing partner, with admissions published for New York, New Jersey, Florida, and Connecticut, plus a stated capacity to represent merchants from any state, which covers Hawaii intake. Rarely does a packet survive the first hour of that reading unchanged.

The file is the argument.

Raiser, Kenniff & Lonstein, P.C.

Raiser, Kenniff & Lonstein, P.C. lists its address as 87 Walker Street, 2nd Floor, New York, New York, with further offices in Manhattan, Garden City, Ellenville, and Kingston, and the debt settlement practice page describes business debt settlement including merchant cash advances, reconciliation, and PPP matters.

The firm states that it provides guidance locally across Manhattan, Nassau, and Suffolk and nationwide (a service statement written for a New York audience that nevertheless names the whole country as its field), which covers Hawaii intake. Steven M. Raiser and Thomas A. Kenniff founded the practice with Alexander Lonstein as partner.


Engaging Counsel and Settlement Help in Hawaii

Ordered lists of defense lawyers monetize position the way directory advertising always has, and the endorsement guidance on material connections requires disclosure of the relationships that set the order. The balance the file documents will differ from the balance the funder asserts.

Delancey Street, a debt relief company rather than a law firm, offers a free confidential initial review and coordinates legal matters with independently licensed counsel, and a Hawaii owner can request that assessment through Delancey Street before positions harden.

Resist the urge to call the funder with an explanation and simply state that counsel will respond to the claims asserted against the business, since any account of the shortfall, even casually given, can narrow the options that remain. Counsel should ensure the ledger sets the strategy before any list sets the expectation. Early restraint will protect and preserve the positions negotiation has not yet spent.

That authority binds New York courts, and whether a Hawaii court would weigh the same factors is a question Hawaii counsel must answer from Hawaii sources. Rankings fade within a season. Obligations persist for years, and the file assembled at the start decides their shape.

FAQ

How much can debt settlement save?
Typical settlements range from 30–60 cents on the dollar, depending on the funder, contract terms, and legal leverage available.
Can I settle if a COJ has been filed?
Yes — but you need legal intervention, not just negotiation. Attorney-coordinated firms can file motions to vacate and stay enforcement.
How long does debt settlement take?
Specialized firms typically resolve cases in 2–6 months — much faster than general debt settlement programs.
Will it affect my credit score?
MCA debt is generally not reported to consumer credit bureaus, so settlement typically doesn't impact your personal credit.
