Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Protection

Understanding your options under federal bankruptcy law is essential before making any major financial decision. As experienced bankruptcy lawyers and debt relief lawyers, the practice guides clients through Chapter 7 liquidation and Chapter 13 debt reorganization. For qualifying individuals, Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows complete discharge of unsecured liabilities, such as medical bills, credit card balances, and personal loans, wiping the slate clean in a matter of months. For homeowners or wage earners with higher incomes, Chapter 13 bankruptcy establishes a manageable three to five year repayment plan, allowing you to cure mortgage arrears and keep your home. Attorney Lareau carefully assesses your eligibility under the means test and utilizes Massachusetts and federal exemptions to protect your home equity, car, tools, and retirement accounts.

Stopping Foreclosures, Garnishments, and Creditor Harassment

One of the most powerful legal protections provided by bankruptcy is the automatic stay, which takes effect the moment your petition is filed with the court. When you must hire an attorney to halt aggressive collection tactics, attorney Gail M. Lareau moves rapidly to protect your interests. The automatic stay immediately halts foreclosure sales, vehicle repossessions, wage garnishments, bank levies, utility shutoffs, and pending collection lawsuits. In addition to formal bankruptcy filings, the practice offers skilled loan modification negotiations and foreclosure defense strategies designed to preserve homeownership and restore financial equilibrium.
