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.
