Services
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy eliminates unsecured debts through asset liquidation exemptions. This service protects retirement accounts and essential property while stopping creditor actions immediately. Clients qualify based on income thresholds and financial hardship documentation.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 establishes structured repayment plans for debtors with regular income. This service protects assets from liquidation while allowing mortgage arrears repayment over 3-5 years. Clients maintain vehicle ownership through modified loan terms.
Debt Settlement
Debt settlement reduces unsecured obligations through direct creditor negotiations. This non-bankruptcy option resolves credit card debts for 30-60% of balances while preserving assets. Our attorneys validate debts before initiating settlement discussions.
Foreclosure Defense
Foreclosure defense employs legal strategies to protect home equity. Through bankruptcy filings or loan modifications, we stop auction proceedings and negotiate favorable mortgage terms for long-term affordability.
Tax Debt Relief
Tax debt relief addresses federal and state tax obligations through dischargeable debt classification or structured repayment plans. Our attorneys negotiate with the IRS to reduce penalties and establish manageable payment schedules for business or personal tax liabilities.
