Bankruptcy

Chapters 7, 11, 12 and 13

If you or your family experience mounting credit card debt, extensive medical bills or are having difficulty meeting your monthly mortgage or auto loan obligation each month, federal bankruptcy law can help you. Bankruptcy allows most individuals to keep their important possessions, stop creditors and collectors, and obtain a discharge of burdensome debt to provide a fresh financial start.

Our office regularly tackles the most complicated cases involving property foreclosures, judicial liens and other judgments, income tax debt, student loan issues, and the reorganization of business debt. We also have significant experience with discharge issues that require the expertise of a bankruptcy professional. These matters are often more favorably resolved in the bankruptcy court than in any other forum.

Having represented debtors and creditors for the past two decades in multiple jurisdictions in Chapter 7, 11, 12 and 13 cases, we are proud to offer initial bankruptcy consultations completely free of charge to any prospective client.
