Chapter 7 Bankruptcy 40%

We can help you file a Massachusetts Chapter 7 bankruptcy case. Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows the consumer over a three or four month period of time, to wipe out most debts by having the United States Bankruptcy Court issue a Discharge of Debt. This option should be chosen by the consumer who is overwhelmed by debt and wishes to obtain a fresh start. A consumer filing for a Massachusetts Chapter 7 bankruptcy can keep his/her property that is exempted by federal or Massachusetts law;

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy 10%

We can help you file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy which allows the consumer who has regular income to have the Court approve a three to five year plan which allows certain past due debts to be paid off over a period of time and other debts to be satisfied by only paying a portion of the total amount owed. This option should be chosen by a consumer who is behind on mortgage or car loan payments and needs a substantial amount of time to repay the past due portion of these debts to the creditor.

Real Estate Closing

Dave Lima handled a real estate closing for our family. He should receive an award for steering us thru the legal jungle with out a hitch. Dave Lima went out of his way to make sure we understood everything. He returned every phone call and answered every email timely. Dave Lima found embedded pro...blems with our transaction in advance and resolved them before the closing date. And the price.... More than fair! I walked away feeling like paid too little!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
