Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Consumer Bankruptcy

Federal bankruptcy law provides powerful tools to stop aggressive creditors and eliminate unsecured debt. If you need to hire a bankruptcy lawyer to protect your assets, Alta Legal offers experienced guidance through each filing option:

• Chapter 7 debt elimination: Discharging unsecured debts such as credit card balances, hospital bills, and personal loans, usually within a matter of months, while safeguarding essential personal property under Utah statutory exemptions.
• Chapter 13 reorganization: Establishing a manageable three to five year court-approved repayment plan that halts home foreclosure auctions, cures mortgage arrears, and protects vehicles from repossession.
• Immediate automatic stay protection: Stopping harassing collection phone calls, civil collection lawsuits, and paycheck garnishments the moment your petition is filed with the court.

Dedicated Workers' Compensation Representation

An on-the-job injury can leave you unable to earn a living while facing mounting medical bills. Alta Legal represents injured employees across Utah in complex workers compensation disputes. Attorney John Christiansen assists injured workers in obtaining temporary total disability payments, securing medical treatment authorization, and negotiating fair lump-sum settlements when employers or their insurance carriers wrongfully deny legitimate claims.

Personal Injury and Motor Vehicle Collisions

In addition to financial insolvency and work injuries, the firm represents accident victims hurt by negligent motorists along Interstate 15 and University Avenue. Their personal injury attorneys fight aggressive insurance adjusters to secure full compensation for medical expenses, vehicle replacement, lost earnings, and pain and suffering.
