About MaryBeth Schroeder

Ms. Schroeder’s Ocean County roots go deep. She was born at the old Point Pleasant Hospital, which no longer exists. She attended Point Pleasant Beach High School and graduated cum laude from Boston University. She graduated from the Rutger’s University School of Law-Camden. While there, in her third year, she had the honor of being a student of the Honorable William H. Gindin. At the time he was a sitting Bankruptcy Judge for the District of New Jersey, in Trenton and went on to be the Chief Judge of the Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. It was he who instilled in Ms. Schroeder her love for the Bankruptcy Code.

After her law clerkship in Monmouth County, working for the Honorable Theodore Lebrecque, Jr., she was lucky enough to go to work for Bunce D. Atkinson, who has a bankruptcy law practice and sits as a Chapter 7 Trustee in the Trenton vicinage of the Court. It was he who taught her the role of the importance of Chapter 7 in helping people to rebuild their lives after financial difficulty.
