Based in Akron, Ohio, she focuses her entire practice on helping individuals navigate Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy with dignity, respect, and personalized care.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy: The path to debt discharge

For many individuals, Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the fastest and most effective way to eliminate unsecured debts, including credit card balances, medical bills, utility bills, and personal loans. To find a lawyer who can accurately evaluate your eligibility under the federal means test is essential to protecting your assets. Attorney Mary Lou Burns takes the time to thoroughly analyze your financial situation, helping you determine if Chapter 7 is the right choice. She works diligently to ensure that your home, vehicle, and tax refunds are fully protected using available legal exemptions, allowing you to walk away from overwhelming debt with peace of mind.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy: Protecting your home and assets

If your income is too high to qualify for Chapter 7, or if you are facing a home foreclosure and want to save your property, Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be the ideal solution. This process involves establishing a court-approved repayment plan lasting three to five years, during which you can catch up on missed mortgage payments and resolve other debts. To hire an attorney with extensive knowledge of Chapter 13 plans is critical to securing a successful discharge. Mary Lou Burns helps clients structure affordable payment plans, working with creditors and the court to ensure your plan is confirmed and your hard-earned assets are preserved.
