Reduce Your Balance Without Filing Bankruptcy

Key Benefits:

Resolve debts for 40–60% of original balance
Avoid bankruptcy filing on your record
Faster resolution than Chapter 13 repayment
Attorney representation in all creditor negotiations
Written settlement agreements protecting your rights
Potential tax guidance on forgiven debt

Best For:

Ideal for individuals with a lump sum available, those who do not qualify for bankruptcy, or those who prefer to avoid a bankruptcy filing for professional reasons.

Garnishment stops within 24 hours of bankruptcy filing
Recover wages garnished within 90 days in some cases
Federal law protects 75% of disposable earnings minimum
Challenge improper garnishments in court
Consolidated strategy addressing the underlying debt
Employer notification handled by our office
