One of the greatest benefits of filing for bankruptcy is that court will issue an “automatic stay” which stops any further contact from your creditors. Your creditors can then only deal with the bankruptcy court. If a creditor continues to contact you after we file your case, you can bring charges against them and you may receive compensation.
Our firm can answer all of your questions and give you the information you need to make the right decision about how to regain control of your financial scene. Let us help you attack debt overload so that you get back on track financially and regain peace of mind.

Our Bankruptcy Services
Many situations can lead to the need for bankruptcy. Thousands of individuals and couples take advantage of the bankruptcy solutions provided to us by the government. At our firm, we have assisted clients with overwhelming debt resulting from every imaginable cause.
Situations that can make bankruptcy necessary can include:
- Falling behind on your monthly bills, including car loans, credit cards, payday loans, personal loans, student loans, and monthly expenses; this can result in creditor harassment.
- Medical bills due to an injury or illness.
- IRS debts.
- Job losses and business failures.
- Wage garnishment.
- Lawsuits against you.
- Divorce.
- Child support.
- Licenses suspensions.
- Mortgage default.
To resolve the above issues, our legal team handles the following bankruptcy filings for individuals and families:
- Chapter 7. This type of filing allows those who qualify to eliminate most unsecured debt, including credit card bills, medical bills, and judgments against them.
- Chapter 13. If your regular income disqualifies you from Chapter 7 or if you have nonexempt assets you are not willing to lose, a Chapter 13 filing can provide you with an alternative. You can create an affordable monthly repayment plan that offers you the time and breathing room to bring your finances up to date.
