Chapter 7 Bankruptcy 75%

If you owe more money than you can afford to repay over time, you may benefit from a Chapter 7 bankruptcy attorney's services. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the person that owes the money is usually relieved of financial obligations and given a fresh financial start. Because new bankruptcy laws are constantly written and existing laws modified, Chapter 7 attorneys can help debtors and creditors cope

43 years

75%
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy 5%

If you own a business that owes money but needs time to repay it, you may require the services of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy attorney. When a company attempts to stay in business and files Chapter 11, the bankruptcy court supervises the company's reorganization of debts and contracts for repayment. This means the company can negotiate for later due dates, or pay the debts for less, with the creditors' and court's agreement.

Excellent Attorney

We were in desperate need of help with our debt so we contacted Schoenbohm's Law office. We were connected with Attorney Michael Schoenbohm which we were offered to come in for a free consultation, Attorney Schoenbohm was very precise and went through each chapter of the bankruptcy process. He was no...t pushy at the end of the consultation at all!! We did end up filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, this has helped us so much. We thank you so much for the second chance and new beginnings. We would definitely recommend Attorney Schoenbohm over any other bankruptcy lawyer, he will not disappoint you!!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - Best Experience we've ever had

My wife and I went into Mr. Schoenbohm's office with our heads hung low and a pit in our gut. Nobody wants to face the decision to go bankrupt. The feeling of failure, loss, and self-rejection come to mind for anyone who has this possibility come into their lives. When considering legal help, some...one must decide on the "right fit" both competently and professionally. Attorney Schoenbohm completely adjusted our feeling of self-guilt with the first visit. With his consultation, and our understandably complex debt situation, he provided us with all of the options with pro's and con's of each option available. Even the option to not go bankrupt was discussed, and he was quite honest with the upside and downside of it as well. At every moment of our decision making process, it didn't feel like we were consulting an attorney - we felt like we were warmly welcomed as friends. From the competency standpoint - he is the most intellectually up-to-speed attorney in his field of practice in our area. In fact, we got referred to him consistently by other attorneys who wouldn't even touch our case. My wife and I, small business owners, come with loads of complexities with cross borrowing scenerios, property, asset classifications and more. He made it simple, straightened it out to a singular, well-defined process, and our Chapter 7 case was opened and discharged in a typical timeframe. Lastly, for his expertise, if anything, he's a little under priced. The value you receive from his services far outweigh the market norm for his talent. We highly recommend him and his firm.
