Chapter 7 Bankruptcy 60%

What do you own, and what do you owe? If you rent instead of own, if you don't have much liquid cash and if your income is modest, a quick and inexpensive Chapter 7 may discharge your debts and give you the fresh start you deserve.

60%
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy 20%

Chapter 11's for small businesses and individuals are intrusive and expensive, but the reorganizational tools they offer are far more powerful than those offered in other chapters. If you think you're in Chapter 11 territory, call me and let's talk!

21 years

20%
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy 20%

Chapter 13's are often used to stop foreclosure sales and modify residential mortgage loans, but if you don't qualify for a Chapter 7, they can also be used to pay down credit card debt using a five-year interest-free repayment plan.

THE BEST!

My husband and I met with Mr. Mahony on a financial matter and he was absolutely EXCEPTIONAL! Before we met with him, we spoke to many lawyers to consider who would best suit our needs. Choosing the right legal counsel makes all the difference! In him, you will find someone that you can TRUST ...and that is the biggest prerequisite in an attorney-client relationship. He is professional, has a solid handle on the legal system and process, takes the time to explain the process so that it is clear and transparent for the client, has excellent communication skills, demonstrates sensitivity and understanding of the scope of legal situation but above all and he KNOWS the best way to handle the direction of your case. On a personal level, he is a decent and respectable human being with a commitment to conscience among many other assets that point to the superior quality of legal advice you can expect from him. We have decided to make him our family lawyer for all future legal matters and this in itself is a testament to the high regard we have for Mr. Mahony. We recommend him with complete confidence and whole-heartedly to anyone who is looking to retain a great legal counsel!

His ethics are of the highest quality and I'm proud to see of his continued success."
