Different answer to same question. I was referring to the state exemption which also pertains to bankruptcy. The other attorney was referring to the amount protected in your bank account in the event of a bank restraint.
Both are correct. The total cash/bank account dollars protected in bankruptcy in NYS is $2,500 per person.
