Warning!
Do not rely on foreclosure defense
companies! Maybe they can help
you but we have had clients who have been
assured that the sale would not go through
and then told literally the week of the
sale that the sale could not be stopped.
Consult with us to evaluate your case
for a chapter 13 bankruptcy in case they
are not able to deliver! You cannot
get a bankruptcy petition filed to stop
a sale if you wait until the last few days
before the sale!

Call
us for an application containing an easy-to-understand
overview of bankruptcy -- especially what
you can keep, danger zones, the differences
between a chapter 7 and a chapter 13 petition.
With a telephone or office consultation,
we may be able to formulate a plan to maximize
the protection that bankruptcy law affords
you. For example, you may discharge all
of your unsecured debt in a Chapter 7 and
then file a Chapter 13 to pay the bank
only what your automobile is worth, not
what you owe the bank. Another example
is to stall a foreclosure in a Chapter 7
while you seek employment and then
file a Chapter 13 when you have steady income.
