The legal team ensures that applicable Florida constitutional and statutory asset exemptions are fully utilized.
- Chapter 13 Reorganization Plans: Designed for wage earners facing mortgage foreclosures, tax arrearages, or auto loan defaults, chapter 13 establishes manageable court-supervised repayment plans allowing clients to retain their homes and cure arrearages over three to five years.
- Bankruptcy Litigation and Adversary Proceedings: Complex insolvency cases often involve contested motions, dischargeability challenges, and adversary lawsuits. Attorney James Schwitalla provides aggressive courtroom representation in both debtor and creditor disputes.
- Creditor Representation: In addition to assisting consumer debtors, the firm represents creditors in bankruptcy proceedings to protect legitimate financial claims, enforce security interests, and participate in reorganization hearings.
- Foreclosure and Repossession Stays: When lenders initiate foreclosure proceedings against residential properties, filing a timely bankruptcy petition activates the federal automatic stay, immediately halting auctions and giving homeowners time to reorganize.
