We approach bankruptcies differently than any other law firm.  We first try to avoid bankruptcy if possible.  We help our clients budget through detailed income and expense spreadsheets, to track their money, to decrease expenses and increase income, to identify potential compensation in other areas of law of which they may not be aware, to use credit effective, to obtain loans and mortgages after bankruptcy, and to clean up their credit reports.  Clients understand how a bankruptcy can affect a future or past domestic relations case, real estate transactions and other major events such as employer discrimination.  We give clients many documents to make their lives easier. Furthermore, the timing to file a petition takes a great deal of planning and experience to maximize the benefit of bankruptcy laws.  We take a well-rounded approach to help you obtain a Fresh Start!

                             you are considering 2nd or 3rd mortgages on your home to consolidate your financial obligations?

                             you are further behind after working with a credit counseling service?

                                       18_c.gif be sure that all creditors agree to the plan

                                       18_c_1.gif be sure that interest stops accumulating

                              you have been served with a complaint to foreclose upon your home?

                              legal notice of the foreclosure sale has been in the newspaper?

                              you already are paying a hefty child support payment

                              a garnishment could result in the termination of your employment

                              you owe personal income taxes or real estate taxes?

                              you have had long term unemployment

                              you are considering a divorce but divide debt, not assets

                              you are responsible for overwhelming medical bills

                              you are living beyond your means

                              you are considering a consolidation loan or home equity line to clean up your credit cards

                              you have used check cashing services and cannot repay them

                              you co-signed for someone who cannot repay the debt

                              you are supporting family members who either cannot or will not support themselves

 

Under certain circumstances, you may benefit from the protection afforded by federal bankruptcy laws that were enacted for your protection and may not have to pay these obligations.

 

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.
