Chapter 11 Bankruptcy 16%

Our attorneys will help you in reviewing your current financial picture and the prospects for returning to profitability. We can assist you in making an informed decision on the best course for the business and for the individual(s) owners of the business.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy 16%

If you have regular income but cannot afford to pay all your creditors, Chapter 13 bankruptcy puts foreclosure, repossessions, and debt collections on hold and provides the breathing room and allows you to pay only that portion of your unsecured debts you can afford over time. Most Chapter 13 cases do not pay all unsecured debt and some cases pay nothing to unsecured creditors. With some exceptions, those debts not paid in a Chapter 13 Plan are discharged.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy 16%

Chapter 7 bankruptcy provides peace of mind and a fresh beginning. It is debt relief and creditor relief provided under federal law for people like you who are in financial trouble with no reasonable hope of ever paying back all of their debt.

16%
Foreclosure 16%

The recent economic crisis has put a huge financial strain on many homeowners across Louisiana. If you are one of them, do not lose faith. You have worked hard for your home. You do not have to give it up and it is almost never too late to seek help. No matter what stage you are at in the foreclosure process, it is in your best interest to seek an experienced Louisiana bankruptcy lawyer who can provide effective bankruptcy representation.

Tax 16%

Some back taxes can be eliminated in bankruptcy. Even if your tax debt cannot be discharged outright, Chapter 13 bankruptcy can allow you to pay past due taxes over time without interest. The experienced attorneys of Simon, Fitzgerald, Cooke, Reed and Welch can determine if your tax debts are dischargeable in bankruptcy, and help you defer those tax obligations to get the IRS or Louisiana Department of Revenue off your back. The Louisiana Dept. of Revenue and the IRS are subject to the stay.

My bankruptcy

My bankruptcy went just as described with a few exceptions. Had to work long distance due to Lake Charles office closure. Rebecca in Shreveport helped me with all my questions and concerns

Victory over Bankruptcy

We hired Mr. Levy in 2019 to help us step by step through the bankruptcy process. Through his counsel, he and his team made sure we had everything we needed to know and what we needed to do to be debt free in a set number of years. Today, 2024, we are debt free and we couldn't have even known where t...o start without them. They were very informative, prompt, responsive, compassionate, kind, and cared about their clients. I highly recommend them. If you need help, look no further. You have found the right lawyer.
