Comprehensive Insolvency and Debt Relief Practice Areas
Federal bankruptcy statutes offer robust protections that allow honest individuals to halt collection enforcement and regain control over their economic lives. Baehr Wiggins PC offers complete legal representation across all stages of consumer debt relief, including:
- Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Commonly referred to as straight bankruptcy or liquidation, Chapter 7 enables qualified debtors to eliminate burdensome unsecured obligations, such as credit card balances, overdue medical bills, and personal loans, while utilizing Missouri statutory exemptions to protect essential personal assets, vehicles, and household items.
- Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: For individuals facing home mortgage delinquency, vehicle repossession, or higher household income, Chapter 13 establishes a structured, court-sanctioned repayment plan over three to five years, allowing clients to catch up on arrears while keeping their homes and motor vehicles.
- Halting Wage Garnishments and Bank Levies: The immediate filing of a bankruptcy case invokes the automatic stay, immediately legally prohibiting creditors from withholding wages from your paycheck or attaching bank account funds.
- Foreclosure Defense: Filing under Chapter 13 provides an actionable mechanism to stop pending trustee property sales, enabling homeowners to restructure overdue balances systematically.
- Creditor Harassment Defense: Putting an end to persistent collection letters and aggressive phone calls from collection agencies by routing all creditor communications directly through your legal representation.
