Comprehensive Bankruptcy Lawyers

🏛️ As experienced Bankruptcy Lawyers, we provide comprehensive services under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. We help clients determine the most appropriate course of action based on their unique financial circumstances. Our primary goal is to use the protections afforded by federal law to eliminate your debts and give you peace of mind. We handle all aspects of the bankruptcy process, from the initial filing to the final discharge of debts, representing you in all proceedings with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Vermont.

• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Often referred to as ‘liquidation’ or ‘straight’ bankruptcy, Chapter 7 allows for the complete elimination (discharge) of most unsecured debts, including credit card bills, medical expenses, and personal loans. We can help you understand the eligibility requirements and guide you through the process, which typically concludes in just a few months.
• Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: For individuals with a regular income, Chapter 13 provides a path to reorganize debts into a manageable repayment plan over a three to five-year period. This can be an ideal solution to stop home foreclosures, prevent car repossessions, and catch up on missed payments while keeping your valuable assets.

Dedicated Debt Relief Lawyers

🕊️ Beyond bankruptcy, we are a federally designated Debt Relief Agency. We are proud to help people find solutions to their debt problems. Our services as Debt Relief Lawyers extend to providing strategic advice on how to manage overwhelming financial obligations. We can help you:

• Stop Foreclosure: Filing for bankruptcy immediately imposes an ‘automatic stay,’ which legally halts foreclosure proceedings and gives you time to explore options to save your home.
• Prevent Repossession: The automatic stay also stops creditors from repossessing your vehicle, allowing for opportunities to catch up on payments or restructure the loan.
• Eliminate Liens: In some cases, we can take legal action to remove judgment liens placed on your property by creditors.
• End Creditor Harassment: Once we represent you, you can direct all creditor calls and letters to our office, putting an end to the stressful and often relentless harassment.

Business Bankruptcy Solutions

📈 We also provide guidance to small business owners facing financial challenges. Whether the goal is to reorganize and continue operations or to wind down the business in an orderly manner, we can explain the options available under the Bankruptcy Code. We understand the complexities of business debt, personal guarantees, and tax implications, and we provide strategic counsel to protect the interests of the business owner throughout the process.
