Bankruptcy and Debt 50%

I am able to answer most, if not all questions concerning bankruptcy and debt. If I cannot help you or answer your question(s), I can put you in touch with a person who can.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy 25%

Chapter 13 bankruptcy often makes sense if you are behind in your mortgage, have non-dischargeable income tax debt, behind in your vehicle, can cram your car down to fmv, make too much $ to qualify for chap. 7, or have non-exempt assets.

25%
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy 25%

Chapter 7 is the quickest way to obtain a fresh financial start. It is a liquidation with no monthly payments to a trustee. The case is over in approx. 4 months, and you can rebuild your credit immediately.

This is Your Attorney

When when my wife and I first came across Jake we were jaded from bad experiences with previous attorneys who truly could have cared less about prioritizing our interests. What Jake did upon the first conversation was put our minds at ease by letting us know the options rather then pressuring us to m...ake an inappropriate decision (simply to get us out the door). Most of all, EVERYTIME we had a question, concern, or issue, Jake was never further than a phone/email/text away from getting back to us, sometimes it took a few hours but we was ALWAYS got a sufficient and timely response. When we had our hearing with the trustee it went surprisingly smooth because Jake had prepped our paperwork and situation in such that our position was crystal clear to the trustee. Bankruptsy is a really tough experience on a family. My wife and I would recommend to anyone needing these services to find an attorney that can keep the situation and details concise so that everyone understands at all moments what is going on. We can not express how helpful Jake was in informing throughout the process, enabling us to, quite frankly, keep it all together. THANKS JAKE!

Responsive, patient, knowledgeable, effective

Working with Jake was great. From the first phone call on through the discharge, he was patient with me, clearly explained my options, and answered all my questions. He also made sure that I understood everything that I needed to do myself. Working with him ended up being one of the best decisions I...'ve ever made. Life is so much easier now and I feel like I've got a fresh start thanks to Jake.
