Case History

Getting an Extra 6 months of Rent Free Living

Practice Area: Bankruptcy

Description: Client was overwhelmed by debt and banks would not modify their loan. They wished to surrender the home but maximize their time in it--cost free by the way. Through strategic timing on the filing of their case I was able to get the couple an extra six months of rent free living in the house by delaying foreclosure proceedings.

Outcome: Filed client as a 13 in order to maximize their time in the home. Clients then decided, based on advice, that if they decided to cut their hours at work they could convert to a Chapter 7 and I was able to discharge all their debt.

Previous Bankuptcy? No problem

Practice Area: Bankruptcy

Description: Client had previously filed a Chapter 7 within past 8 years requiring a Chapter 13.

Outcome: I was able to get them payments of $27 for two years with an increase to ocur only when their car payments were completed. Even though they had a previous 7, their payments were essentially $27 for three years.

Minmizing Plan Payments

Practice Area: Bankruptcy

Description: Client originally showed disposable income of nearly $1,200 per month and could have been facing payments of this amount.

Outcome: Through a series of pre-planning strategies I was able to get them payments under $300 per month and through key strategy was able to protect client from losing pay raise to trustee.

Stopping Garnishment in their tracks

Practice Area: Bankruptcy

Description: Client had two judgments against them. Collection attorney was preparing garnishment. Client did not yet have the money to file.

Outcome: I was able to call and negotiate with collection attorneys to prevent the garnishment from proceeding--client did not have to pay creditors one cent and I was able to buy them the time to pay their filing fees.

50% on the dollar, no interest

Practice Area: Debt Settlement

Description: Client could not file bankruptcy due to large assets. Debt settlement case.

Outcome: Using my status as a bankruptcy attorney and relationships with collection attorneys, I was able to get settlement of outstanding debt of 50% on the dollar without lengthy discussions.
