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.

Grateful

I'm very grateful for Mr. Levy's help through this process. He doesn't cut corners and gives you all the information straight down the line. I respect that. When events led me to be able to pay my plan out early, Mr. Levy got right on it and guided me through. I appreciate that he wanted to see me de...bt free just as much as I did. Thank you Mr. Levy and team.

When You Need The Best--!

Mr. Levy of Simon Fitzgerald is the man you want. We just finished our Chapter 13 bankruptcy, and Mr. Levy was professional, knowledgeable, and just plain nice throughout the whole process. From Day One, he went above and beyond, answering our every inquiry and taking care of every detail. Through no... fault of his or ours, our bankruptcy was extended several months while Mr. Levy handled multiple requests from our mortgage company (not even included in our Chapter 13 bankruptcyI) but he took us through this unusual journey without a hitch. No one really wants to go through a bankruptcy, but if you find yourself there, you want the best to help you. Call Simon Fitzgerald and ask for Mr. Levy!
