Comprehensive Debt Relief Services
Scott E. Rice specializes exclusively in bankruptcy law, ensuring that clients receive focused and up-to-date legal advice. The firm primarily assists with:
- Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Often called ‘liquidation’ bankruptcy, this process is designed to wipe out unsecured debts such as credit cards, medical bills, and personal loans, allowing you to hit the reset button on your finances.
- Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: A ‘reorganization’ bankruptcy that allows you to catch up on missed mortgage or car payments over a three-to-five-year period while keeping your assets. This is a powerful tool for stopping foreclosure sales immediately.
- Stopping Creditor Harassment: once a case is filed, the ‘Automatic Stay’ goes into effect, legally prohibiting creditors from calling you, writing to you, or continuing lawsuits against you.
- Debt Settlement and Relief: Analysis of your financial situation to determine if non-bankruptcy alternatives are viable for your specific case.
