Our Practice
Fair Lending
All laws administered by National Banks are search to anti-discrimination laws, passed by Congress and signed by the President. However, lenders are not always observant of these laws.
Bankruptcy
The Firm focuses on chapter 7 liquidation bankruptcy, for individuals, couples, and companies. Chapter 7 is the liquidation of personal debt, or for companies that are going out of business.
Debt Issues
Every bankruptcy involves debt, but not every debt is appropriate for bankruptcy. Credit cards, for as little as $1,000 in debt can generate lawsuits by the lenders are there collection agencies.
Real Estate and Business Matters
The firm has over 30 years experience in litigation, representing clients large and small. The Firm has enjoyed success in litigation and several different fields.
Federal Law Requires the Following Disclosures with Regard to Bankruptcy Clients:
Disclosure from 11 US Code Sec. 527(b):
“If you decide to seek bankruptcy relief, you can represent yourself, you can hire an attorney to represent you, or you can get help in some localities from a bankruptcy petition preparer who is not an attorney. THE LAW REQUIRES AN ATTORNEY OR BANKRUPTCY PETITION PREPARER TO GIVE YOU A WRITTEN CONTRACT SPECIFYING WHAT THE ATTORNEY OR BANKRUPTCY PETITION PREPARER WILL DO FOR YOU AND HOW MUCH IT WILL COST. Ask to see the contract before you hire anyone.
“The following information helps you understand what must be done in a routine bankruptcy case to help you evaluate how much service you need. Although bankruptcy can be complex, many cases are routine.
“Before filing a bankruptcy case, either you or your attorney should analyze your eligibility for different forms of debt relief available under the Bankruptcy Code and which form of relief is most likely to be beneficial for you. Be sure you understand the relief you can obtain and its limitations. To file a bankruptcy case, documents called a Petition, Schedules, and Statement of Financial Affairs, and in some cases a Statement of Intention, need to be prepared correctly and filed with the bankruptcy court. You will have to pay a filing fee to the bankruptcy court.
Our Philosophy
Our goal is to evaluate your case fairly, handle it efficiently, and resolve it favorably. In an adversarial system of justice, results cannot be guaranteed, but we bring 30 years’ experience, determination, and moxie to bear for you.
