Chapter 7 Bankruptcy 40%

If filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the right option for you, attorney Paul Kuzmickas can help. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is filed when an individual has little to no money left over after paying basic expenses. It is typically used for the purpose of completely starting over. Although it is rare, one’s assets can be liquidated in order to pay off debts. The advantages of filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy are that most unsecured debts can be completely eliminated.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy 35%

If filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the right option for you, attorney Paul Kuzmickas can help. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is filed for the purpose of holding on to assets while discharging some, if not all of your unsecured debts. The advantages of filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy include keeping your possessions and property, and taking 3 to 5 years to pay off your debts on a payment schedule, rather than at a quicker rate the creditors would prefer.

Foreclosure 20%

The thought of losing one’s home in foreclosure is a frightening one. If your lender files a foreclosure complaint against you, you may feel as if you’ve run out of all options. But a foreclosure is not inevitable, and can often be reversed or remedied before you actually lose your house.

Posted by Kim | February 14, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Great Attorney

I first contacted the office to gather info on what I should do as I had a judgement that was going to start garnishing my wages. I am a single mother and thought there was no help for me. When I spoke to Paul he took the time to explain the different chapters and took the time to ask many questions ...to see if bankruptcies was right for me. When we ended the call I felt very informed and knew Paul was right for me. I then went to his office and he went through everything making sure I understood the procedures and helped me make the right decisions for my situation. Paul is very knowledgeable and friendly and has solutions to problems that you think for sure there is no answer to . I really feel he is 100% on my side a would recommend him to anyone in need of his services.
