Chapter 7 Bankruptcy 50%

When filing for bankruptcy, individuals typically file under either Chapter 7 Bankruptcy (often referred to as "liquidation" or "straight" bankruptcy) or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy (often referred to as "wage earner" or "workout" bankruptcy).

50%
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy 30%

In a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, debts that are generally consolidated are mortgage arrears, balances on vehicle loans, credit card debts, loans, and other unsecured debts. All debts that you have that are outstanding, must be included in the Chapter 13 Bankruptcy consolidation. Chapter 13 Bankruptcy also allows debtors to cure arrearages in their mortgage payments, possibly strip second mortgages. We can also assist in loan modification.

Bankruptcy and Debt 20%

In its most basic form, Florida bankruptcy law is a consumer protection law. It is a Federal process, which allows consumers to have their qualifying debts forgiven. The law recognizes that bad things sometimes happen to good people, and consumers sometimes simply do not have the ability to comply with creditors’ repayment demands.

Divorce and Child time sharing

I was referred to Gina after haven't some bad luck with other attorneys. I had an uphill battle with my divorce with children. I didn't have much faith in the justice system. Gina was very professional and hard worker. She fought hard for me and my kids best interest. I recommend her to anyone who ne...eds a honest hard working attorney.

Made the process less painful.

I hired Ms. Schlegel to assist me in a dissolution of marriage. She responded to all my questions and helped me understand the process. If I had questions, she would timely return my calls or answer my emails -- even sometimes on the weekend. Hopefully, I never have to use her for another divorce,... but I definitely would recommend her to friends and family.

Divorce

I had filed all my paperwork prior to retaining Ms. Schlegel. The only services she provided me was being there when I went to mediation. Everything was settled at mediation. I was due a refund for monies not used in my account which Ms. Schlegel refused to refund. She also refused my phone calls....

Posted by Kris | November 04, 2014 | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

I would definitely recommend Gina Schlegel for anyone facing bankruptcy or divorce.

I hired Gina Schlegel for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy matter. Never having had to use an attorney before and being somewhat embarrassed that I could not pay my debts, I was nervous when I went in for the consultation (which was free). Ms. Schlegel immediately put my mind at ease by explaining the entire... process and answering all of my questions. I had called around and her fees were very reasonable. What I appreciated most was that she would call me back each time I called. I would definitely recommend Gina Schlegel should someone need a bankruptcy or family law attorney.

Excellent Service

I obtained Ms Schlegel for both my Divorce and Bankruptcy. I couldn't be more satisfied with her services. She is very professional with a great personality to match. I felt very confident in her abilities the entire time while working with her. I'd recommend her to close family & friends. Very ple...ased!
