A Chapter 13 bankruptcy case will allow you to stop the foreclosure, continue paying the mortgage, and get caught up over a period of years. We may also be able to help you reduce the amount you owe by forcing the lender to eliminate improper fees and charges. Are you drowning in credit card debt? We can provide you with a financial life preserver and make the phone calls stop. If you've lost your job or gotten sick and can't pay the credit card bills, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy can eliminate your legal obligation to pay them. Please note that if the problem stems from student loans or divorce- related debts, bankruptcy does NOT discharge those debts, usually. However, discharging OTHER debt can make it easier to pay student loans or divorce-related debt such as alimony or child support.

To properly protect your rights, you need an attorney who knows Bankruptcy. Generally speaking, it is NOT an area where a general practitioner is acceptable, nor is it one where the least expensive attorney will do, because making a mistake in a bankruptcy case can have devastating consequences! Since 1996, David has concentrated his practice in bankruptcy and has helped many clients save their homes and get the best available debt relief. We look forward to helping you!! David is the first graduate of the Massachusetts School of Law at Andover to argue before the United States Supreme Court, and the first bankruptcy lawyer from Massachusetts to argue before the United States Supreme Court in about 20 years. His client was a consumer debtor, probably just like you! The picture above was taken in front of the Supreme Court building on November 6, 2006, the day of the argument. David is a graduate of Max Gardner's Bankruptcy Boot Camp! For more information, click here. You can also see a video from CNN about the Boot Camp by clicking here.
