Strategic Debt liquidation with Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is designed for individuals and families who lack the disposable income to repay their mounting unsecured debts. Attorney Keith Welch, managing partner of the Shreveport office, and his legal team help clients wipe out credit cards, past-due medical bills, payday loans, and personal signature loans. A major concern for many debtors is whether they will lose their homes or vehicles. Under Louisiana's specific bankruptcy exemptions, most Chapter 7 filers are able to retain their essential homesteads, household goods, and personal automobiles. The attorneys at Simon Fitzgerald, LLC examine your monthly income and asset structures to ensure your petition is filed flawlessly and your property is legally shielded.

Restructuring and Asset Protection through Chapter 13 Filing

For individuals facing foreclosure, vehicle repossession, or tax collection, Chapter 13 bankruptcy provides a powerful financial safety net. It allows you to consolidate your delinquent payments into a manageable, three-to-five-year repayment plan supervised by a court trustee. At the Shreveport office of Simon Fitzgerald, LLC, Chapter 13 bankruptcies are typically processed with no upfront attorney fees because the legal fees are built directly into your monthly court-approved plan. This ensures that you can halt foreclosure proceedings, stop vehicle repossessions, and secure immediate relief from interest charges without having to pay heavy retainer fees out of pocket.

Stopping Creditor Harassment, Garnishments, and Foreclosures

The moment a bankruptcy petition is officially filed in the Western District of Louisiana, a powerful legal shield known as the automatic stay goes into immediate effect. This court order legally forces all creditors and debt collectors to halt their actions immediately. It stops pending foreclosure sales, freezes active wage garnishments, terminates harassing phone calls, and prevents lawsuits from moving forward. The experienced trial attorneys and paralegals at Simon Fitzgerald, LLC work quickly to prepare emergency filings, giving you the critical breathing room needed to reorganize your finances in a stress-free environment.
