What can Nassau bankruptcy attorneys do for me?test
Sunday, May 23rd, 2010
Hiring our Nassau bankruptcy attorneys can help minimize bankruptcy’s damage and put your financial future—and your life—back on the right track. There are many pre-filing and post-filing obligations that must be completed correctly and in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code. Our experienced Nassau bankruptcy lawyers work with these bankruptcy laws every day and understand the protocol and paperwork in detail. As a result, we can help you navigate the bankruptcy process accurately and in ways most advantageous to your situation.
The following list represents a sampling of areas where our skilled Nassau bankruptcy attorneys can help:
- - First and foremost, we can help determine which chapter of bankruptcy (chapter 7, 13, or 11) to file under.
- - All required documents will be correctly completed and filed by our bankruptcy lawyers.
- - Our Nassau bankruptcy attorneys’ experience facilitates more quickly the “automatic stay” that takes effect as soon as your Nassau bankruptcy case is filed. This will provide immediate relief from harassing phone calls and mail from collectors. If being sued over an unsecured debt, the automatic stay can also stop wage garnishment.
- - Certain state and federal level exemptions allow a person to keep varying degrees of their personal property when filing for bankruptcy. Our Nassau bankruptcy lawyers help you understand these exemptions and recommend how best to value personal and real property on the schedules.
- - Our bankruptcy lawyers can evaluate your debts to determine which are dischargeable, which are at risk for being nondischargeable and how to prepare accordingly for each.
- - We can help you to decide which creditors to list as secured, priority, and unsecured.
- - If other debts are discovered after you file for bankruptcy, our Nassau bankruptcy attorneys can amend your case to include these additional debts.
- - At the “Meeting of Creditors” held pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, our bankruptcy lawyers will represent you instead of your having to represent yourself.
Under the law, you do not have to hire a bankruptcy attorney when filing for bankruptcy. You can represent yourself instead. It is important to understand, however, that if you chose to represent yourself you are still held to the same standard as if you had Nassau bankruptcy lawyers on your side. Do yourself and your financial future a favor by speaking with one of our bankruptcy attorneys today to learn how we can help.
