Chapter 13 Bankruptcy 75%

These types of bankruptcies are what we refer to as reorganization type bankruptcies. They are not to be confused with debt consolidations. Let me repeat that: THEY ARE NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH DEBT CONSOLIDATIONS! This is a common misconception about Chapter 13 cases - that they are just debt consolidations where you end up paying everyone back. That is false. In Chapter 13 cases you get rid of debts just like you do in any other type of bankruptcy case.

Bankruptcy and Debt 10%

In 2013 I helped folks eliminate BLANK dollars’ worth of debt. If you extrapolate that out over my 31 year career, I’m approaching BLANK in debt GONE FOR GOOD! No sum is insurmountable! How much debt can I help eliminate for you?

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy 10%

These types of bankruptcies are what we refer to as liquidation type bankruptcies. Chapter 7’s are asset based, and typically are the type of bankruptcy that you might consider filing if you have limited income, limited assets, and have no special circumstances. Why? Because you need to make below a certain income level to file this type of bankruptcy. You can also potentially lose assets if you own too many. I commonly refer to Chapter 7’s as “plain vanilla” type bankruptcies.

Counselor part?

Awesome and super responsive up until online court hearing was done. Then I was ghosted. The best counseling advise I got was try NC bar dot gov. ? And my issue was 100% directly related to issues leading to the need for Felden’s help. Meaning, the entities causing me to file bankruptcy were nefariou...s, I had to prove it myself and got quite a bit of my debt erased after the fact. No one helped me but myself. I asked for help, but all I got was a bankruptcy tool, and it worked, but? Hope this makes sense. Hope it helps. What I recommend? Great people to talk to, no doubt. But I became a number. And honestly it hurt my feelings. it takes some serious education to become a lawyer, it takes talent. I just figured they might know someone? I don’t think that’s too much to ask after dropping seven grand in fees. Maybe even more. Maybe I’m wrong but it just doesn’t make sense to me, because I was treated like gold at the beginning.

Excellent!!!

I highly recommend Mr. Felden to handle your bankruptcy case. Both he and his office are extremely helpful and professional. They helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life and literally gave me my life back. When I first started investigating filing bankruptcy I was overwhelmed ...and confused by all of the complex and conflicting information I found online. Mr. Felden was able to break everything down for me and explain everything to me in a simple straightforward manner. He is obviously well liked and trusted by the bankruptcy trustee and clerks who seemed to enjoy working with him. An overall wonderful experience for me through a difficult time in my life.

Excellent Choice!!

I was in danger of losing my home and Mr. Felden and his staff not only helped me save my home from foreclosure, he also got rid of my second mortgage entirely!! Plus he got my car payment cut in half!! I highly recommend Mr. Felden.
