Services
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy eliminates qualifying debts through asset liquidation. This service suits individuals with limited income who cannot repay debts. Our attorneys assess eligibility, protect exempt assets, and guide clients through the discharge process while ensuring compliance with federal bankruptcy laws.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 establishes structured debt repayment plans for individuals with regular income. This service allows debtors to retain assets while repaying creditors over 3-5 years. Our team negotiates favorable terms and ensures compliance with court requirements throughout the process.
SBA Loan Default
SBA loan default solutions help businesses and owners manage defaulted government-backed loans. We negotiate settlements, facilitate offers in compromise, and explore bankruptcy options to resolve personal guarantees while protecting future business interests.
Student Loan Discharge
Student loan discharge services focus on eliminating education debt through bankruptcy or administrative processes. We specialize in proving undue hardship for public loans and leveraging recent court rulings to discharge private loans covering non-tuition expenses.
Bankruptcy Mediation
Bankruptcy mediation provides alternative dispute resolution for creditors and debtors. Our certified mediators facilitate fair settlements, reduce litigation costs, and create customized solutions while maintaining strict adherence to bankruptcy court guidelines.
