About Amy

Biography

I am a bankruptcy and probate attorney practicing in the area of debtor bankruptcy, Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. I also handle probate, wills, revocable living trusts, living wills and durable power of attorneys.

I am a debtor bankruptcy attorney for over 30 years practicing in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13.

I am a probate and bankrtupcy attorney practicing for over 35 years.

I am an attorney practicing in the area of wills, living wills and trusts for over 35 years.

I have personally handled hundreds of chapter 13 cases. Our firm can stop foreclosure on your house by filing a chapter 13 bankruptcy and force the mortgage company to take payments over 60 months to allow you to keep your home.

I have handled over 10,000 chapter 7 cases and have practiced primarily in the debtor bankruptcy field of law for over 35 years

A durable family power of attorney can allow another person to handle your financial affairs. a health care surrogate allows family members or others to make medical decisions and consent to surgery in case of accident or serious illness.

I prepare revocable living trusts for people who want to avoid probate, keep their assets safe from creditors and can allow another trustee to take over if you become disabled.

Excellent Bankruptcy Attorneys!

I used Sliva Law Firm for my chapter 7 bankruptcy case and they did an excellent job on my case. Amy Logan Sliva and her son Logan Sliva are very knowledgeable and helped me through every step of the procedure. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs it.

Made bankruptcy painless...

I was very, very nervous about bankruptcy. Ms. Sliva was very re-assuring and took time (a lot) to explain the whole process. Nervous again when I got to court, but there was no need, Ms. Sliva had everything under control. I had no need to worry. Since her help, I have fully recovered from bankruptc...y and my credit scores continue to climb up...! THANKS Ms. Sliva for all of your expert help...! GAS

AMY LOGAN SLIVA GETS THE JOB DONE!!!

I hired Amy to represent me in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy after consulting with many other attorneys regarding my complicated situation in which I owed a very large sum of money to the IRS and to the State of Massachusetts Department of Revenue. Even after making payments for several years the amount ne...ver seemed to decrease due to penalties and interest. At the last minute Amy was able to include my wife's debts from her former marriage and divorce. When I say last minute I mean I was ready to sign the papers to file when we presented my wife's situation to Amy and she said we could file jointly so Libby had to redo all of the paperwork. The other attorneys wanted to charge an outrageous amount of money to file a Chapter 13, in fact one attorney quoted me $8,000 to file a Chapter 13 and others said that I didn't qualify to file a Chapter 7 or they refused the case. My wife first made contact with Amy by phone in which she gave her hope. After we met Amy in person we knew that if anyone could get it done it was her. Amy and her staff were always very professional, knowledgeable, understanding and she gave us hope. Filing bankruptcy was not something we wanted to do but Amy reassured us that sometimes people get tied up with financial problems and that they need a fresh start. If you are considering filing bankruptcy Amy Logan Sliva is the attorney to hire.
