Strategic Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Guidance

Filing for bankruptcy is a powerful legal tool designed to resolve unsustainable debts and protect your vital assets. Patrick M. Seese has over two decades of focused legal experience and has successfully filed more than 3,000 bankruptcy cases since 2002. We assist clients with both Chapter 7 liquidation bankruptcy, which can completely discharge unsecured debts like credit cards and medical bills, and Chapter 13 repayment bankruptcy, which restructures your debts into a manageable monthly payment plan over three to five years. When you hire an attorney from our firm, we carefully evaluate your financial circumstances to determine which chapter provides the maximum advantage for your unique situation, helping you preserve your home, vehicle, and personal property.

Stopping Wage Garnishments, Foreclosures, and Levies Immediately

When you file for bankruptcy under federal law, the court immediately issues an order known as an automatic stay. This powerful legal shield commands creditors to halt all collection efforts immediately. It stops pending home foreclosure sales, prevents vehicle repossessions, lifts bank account levies, and halts active wage garnishments. If you need a bankruptcy lawyer urgently to stop a creditor from threatening your job or seizing your property, our team is prepared to file your petition quickly and efficiently. We focus on putting an end to the daily stress of collections, allowing you to regain control over your financial future and sleep peacefully at night.

Proactive Future Planning, Wills, and Estate Support

In addition to our primary bankruptcy and debt relief practice, Patrick M. Seese Attorney at Law assists clients with foundational estate planning and future planning services. We help families protect their legacies and prepare for unexpected medical or financial situations by drafting custom last wills and testaments, establishing revocable living trusts, and creating durable powers of attorney. We also provide legal guidance for homeowners who are struggling with underwater mortgages, explaining your legal alternatives and working to find solutions that align with your long-term goals. We are committed to delivering highly professional, affordable legal service to our local South Bend community.
