Attorney Ryan Callahan holds a Master of Laws in Tax Law from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law, which allows our firm to offer unique and invaluable counsel to clients facing complex tax debt alongside general consumer debt. Whether you are dealing with credit card bills, medical expenses, home foreclosure, or IRS audits, we analyze your financial situation from every legal angle. If you need to find a bankruptcy lawyer who understands both the bankruptcy code and tax litigation, our team is equipped to deliver highly specialized solutions without upfront hassle.

Protecting Your Assets with Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Our bankruptcy practice is geared toward achieving maximum debt relief while protecting your valuable assets. For clients with substantial unsecured debt, we utilize Chapter 7 bankruptcy to legally discharge credit cards, medical bills, and personal loans, usually in just a few months. If you are behind on your mortgage, facing a car repossession, or have a steady income, we use Chapter 13 bankruptcy to structure a manageable three-to-five-year debt reorganization plan. This process allows you to stop foreclosure, catch up on missed payments over sixty months, and keep your home. The moment we file your case, the court issues an automatic stay, legally forcing all collection lawsuits, wage garnishments, and harassing phone calls to stop immediately.

Strategic Tax Controversy and IRS Representation

Tax debt requires a specialized legal approach, as the IRS and state taxing authorities possess extraordinary collection powers, including the ability to levy bank accounts and place liens on property. As an experienced tax attorney, Ryan Callahan represents individuals and businesses in tax controversies, seeking favorable resolutions through Offers in Compromise, installment agreements, penalty abatements, and lien or levy releases. We evaluate whether your older tax liabilities can be completely discharged through consumer bankruptcy and, when necessary, defend your interests in negotiations with tax authorities. This double-layered expertise in tax law and bankruptcy gives our clients a distinct advantage when resolving multi-layered financial crises.

Standing Up to Abusive Creditors and Debt Collectors

At Callahan Law Firm, we do not just file bankruptcy petitions; we actively defend consumer rights against predatory and abusive practices. Our legal team, including experienced consumer advocate James Crump, routinely files lawsuits against unscrupulous debt collectors and credit reporting agencies. We litigate violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). If a collector has harassed you, invaded your privacy, or reported inaccurate information on your credit report, we fight to hold them accountable, often recovering financial damages for our clients. If you need to hire an attorney who will go on the offensive against predatory collectors, we represent your interest with tenacity.
