Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Eliminating Insurmountable Debt

For individuals burdened by massive unsecured liabilities-such as medical expenses, credit card bills, and personal loans-Chapter 7 bankruptcy offers a highly effective pathway to financial freedom. By filing for Chapter 7, qualifying clients can have their eligible debts entirely discharged in a matter of months, putting an immediate stop to collector calls and legal actions. Attorney Craig Andresen works closely with you to analyze your income under the federal means test and ensure your home, vehicle, and other vital personal property remain fully protected under Minnesota's generous bankruptcy exemptions.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy and Foreclosure Defense

If your home is facing foreclosure or you have fell behind on your vehicle payments, Chapter 13 bankruptcy provides a powerful legal mechanism to protect your property. Under Chapter 13, you consolidate your debts into a structured, court-approved repayment plan spanning three to five years, allowing you to cure mortgage arrears over time. Craig Andresen is a pioneer in Minnesota bankruptcy litigation, having successfully represented the debtor in Keller v. Fisette, the landmark federal case that established the legality of second mortgage stripping in Minnesota's Chapter 13 cases. When you want to save your home from foreclosure and need an experienced lawyer in Bloomington to structure a viable repayment plan, their firm provides the highly specialized legal expertise you require.

Stopping Repossessions, Garnishments, and Creditor Harassment

The moment you file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, a powerful federal injunction known as the automatic stay goes into immediate effect. This injunction legally prohibits creditors and collection agencies from making phone calls, sending letters, filing lawsuits, repossessing your vehicle, or garnishing your paycheck. Andresen Law Offices acts quickly to stop aggressive collection activities, restoring peace and stability to your daily life. If you are facing an urgent threat of car repossession or wage garnishment and need to find a lawyer to halt collection actions immediately, Craig Andresen provides rapid-response legal advocacy to safeguard your paycheck and your assets.
