Expert Bankruptcy Services

As a federally designated Debt Relief Agency, Shaw & Associates specializes in:

• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Often called 'fresh start' bankruptcy, this allows qualified individuals to wipe out unsecured debts such as credit card balances, personal loans, and medical bills legally.
• Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: A reorganization bankruptcy designed for those who have a regular income but are falling behind. It allows clients to catch up on mortgage arrears to stop foreclosure and consolidate debts into an affordable monthly payment.
• Stopping Creditor Harassment: The firm acts quickly to file petitions that trigger the 'automatic stay,' immediately halting collection calls, wage garnishments, and lawsuits.

Lee Shaw personally oversees cases, ensuring that schedules and petitions are accurate and that clients are fully prepared for their meeting of creditors.

Family Law and General Practice

In addition to bankruptcy, the firm handles select family law matters, understanding that financial trouble often goes hand-in-hand with domestic changes. The firm assists with uncontested divorces and other general legal matters, providing affordable and efficient representation. The firm's philosophy is to offer high-quality legal services at reasonable rates, making justice accessible to working-class families in Louisville.
