Focused Practice Areas

The firm specializes exclusively in bankruptcy law, ensuring that clients receive expert advice tailored to their financial situation. Primary practice areas include:

• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Often called ‘liquidation’ or ‘fresh start’ bankruptcy, this process allows eligible individuals to eliminate most unsecured debts, such as credit card balances and medical bills, while typically keeping their home and car.
• Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Known as the ‘wage earner’s plan,’ this option allows individuals with a regular income to reorganize their debts into a manageable monthly payment plan spanning three to five years. It is a powerful tool to stop foreclosure and catch up on missed mortgage payments.
• Stopping Wage Garnishment: Filing for bankruptcy triggers an ‘automatic stay,’ which immediately halts most creditor actions, including wage garnishments and lawsuits.
• Debt Relief Counsel: Advising clients on the best course of action to resolve their financial distress, whether through bankruptcy or other legal means.
