About Kathleen

3
Practice areas
  1. Chapter 7 bankruptcy
    50%
    Chapter 7 bankruptcy, sometimes called “liquidation bankruptcy,” cancels your unsecured debts without further repayment. In exchange, you might have to surrender some of your property.

  2. Chapter 13 bankruptcy
    45%
    Chapter 13 bankruptcy lets you rearrange your financial affairs and repay a portion of your debts. You repay your debts through a “Chapter 13 plan.”

  3. Foreclosure
    5%
    Foreclosure can be stopped by doing either a Chapter 7 or 13. In addition, requesting mediation and applying for a loan modification will also stop the foreclosure so that you have an opportunity to keep your home on terms that you can afford.

If you are considering filing for personal bankruptcy, you can be proud of yourself. You are making the first steps toward getting your debt under control and working toward a stronger financial future.

Credit card bills, medical bills and other expenses can pile up for even the most careful of people. An unpaid balance can gather interest until it looms over a person like a monster. Even when you are employed, you may find your income outmatched by your debt. If you lose your job or face another unexpected financial challenge, you may find yourself in serious financial trouble.

At the law office of Kathleen Donnelly, we help people like you to regain control of your financial life. We know that, for many people, talking about finances and debt can be uncomfortable, and we make sure to treat all of our clients with compassion and respect. As a small law firm, we are able to give each case the attention it deserves, and we work closely with our clients to come up with personalized solutions that fit their unique financial needs.

Highly recommend Kathleen Donnelly
Kathleen Donnelly is the only bankruptcy attorney I would ever recommend to my family and friends. I fell into a financial disaster over the last few years after an ugly divorce. I had no idea what to do or what to expect. My wages were being garnished and the hardships were piling. Kathy was so patient and understanding with me though the process. She was very easy to reach and answered any of my questions quickly. I highly recommend Kathleen Donnelly.
