Proven Debt Relief and Bankruptcy Filing Services

Filing for bankruptcy is a powerful legal shield that immediately halts aggressive collection actions through the court-ordered automatic stay. As leading bankruptcy lawyers and debt relief lawyers, the practice guides clients through every phase of the process:

• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Liquidation: Eliminating eligible unsecured debts, including credit card balances, medical bills, and personal loans, while utilizing Tennessee statutory exemptions to protect essential personal assets.
• Chapter 13 Debt Reorganization: Crafting manageable three-to-five-year court-approved repayment plans that allow debtors to cure mortgage arrears, prevent vehicle repossession, and pay off debt at manageable rates.
• Stopping Wage Garnishments and Lawsuits: Invoking immediate federal bankruptcy protection to stop wage deductions, frozen bank accounts, and creditor collection proceedings.
• Foreclosure and Repossession Defense: Protecting primary family homes and vehicles from imminent lender auctions, allowing homeowners crucial time to reorganize payments.

Sophisticated Tax Debt and IRS Dispute Solutions

Unlike standard debt relief practices, Richard Mayer brings specialized background as tax lawyers and irs dispute lawyers. Complex tax obligations often complicate personal insolvencies, but certain older federal and state income taxes can be legally discharged or restructured under Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Attorney Mayer reviews client tax histories to determine eligibility for discharge, resolve collection liens, and coordinate with taxing authorities to protect client assets from ongoing levies.
