Services
Bankruptcy
Our bankruptcy services help clients eliminate unaffordable debts through Chapter 7 liquidation or Chapter 13 repayment plans. We immediately stop collection efforts including wage garnishment and property liens. Our experienced attorney guides clients through the three-month Chapter 7 process or develops customized payment plans to prevent foreclosure.
Debt Defense
We defend clients against debt collection lawsuits by challenging insufficient evidence from creditors. Our services include case strategy development and legal representation to dismiss invalid claims. We help clients understand their rights and fight back against unjust collection attempts through formal defenses and countersuits.
Debt Collection Violations
Our firm handles cases involving illegal debt collection practices including harassment, false statements, and statute of limitations violations. We help clients file lawsuits against violators and seek damages for unlawful collection attempts. Services include cease-and-desist letter preparation and legal action against harassing creditors.

Questions
What debt relief options exist besides bankruptcy?
We offer debt defense litigation against collection lawsuits and consumer protection claims for illegal collection practices as alternatives to bankruptcy.
How do I know if I qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
Qualification depends on income, debt types, and financial circumstances. We'll analyze your situation during a free strategy session to determine eligibility.
Can debt collectors sue after the statute of limitations?
No, we can challenge lawsuits for time-barred debts and potentially seek damages for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
What happens if I ignore a debt collection lawsuit?
Ignoring lawsuits risks default judgments leading to wage garnishment or property liens. We recommend immediate legal response to protect your rights.
How long does bankruptcy stay on credit reports?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy typically remains for 10 years while Chapter 13 stays for 7 years, but we help clients rebuild credit post-discharge.
What constitutes illegal debt collection harassment?
Illegal practices include threats of violence, public debt disclosure, excessive calls, and false statements about legal consequences of non-payment.
