If you’re an individual or business owner struggling financially, filing for bankruptcy is an option to provide a fresh start. We offer legal advice, guidance and compassion for debtors who seem to have no where to turn.
The Bankruptcy Code provides a procedure for debt payments to individuals, corporations and partnerships, while stopping all harassing phone calls, letters, foreclosures, and repossessions from creditors.
We handle Chapter 7 bankruptcy (total liquidation) and Chapter 13 bankruptcy (allows individuals with regular income to reorganize financial affairs). Our bankruptcy attorneys will ask you to come in for a free consultation, help you decide whether Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is right for your situation, and will form a plan adapted specifically for you.
We will keep you informed of every step in the process while being sensitive to your needs and ultimately giving you hope. You will leave our office with the peace of mind that you have secured your future and can finally move on.
