Is Filing Bankruptcy the Best Option?
At Weintraub & Selth, APC, we believe that filing bankruptcy is a last resort. If you are facing home foreclosure, failure of a business, personal debts or other financial problems, our lawyers will explore bankruptcy alternatives such as mortgage loan modification and debt negotiation. However, there are times when you need the services of our highly qualified bankruptcy lawyers. For our bankruptcy lawyers click here to go to our Bankruptcy website.
Alternatives to bankruptcy such as debt negotiation and loan modifications may not provide the full solution you need in cases such as the following:
- When your total debt is too high to settle in a reasonable way that you can afford to pay
- When you have uncooperative creditors or landlords
- When you face a potentially large judgment from a lawsuit
- When you have personal liability from a failed business
- When you are facing an immediate threat of adverse actions by your creditors such as home foreclosure or garnishment
- When you are liable for any mortgage delinquency resulting from a short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure
- When you have tax liabilities that can't be resolved any other way except by filing bankruptcy
- When you have assets such as a home that can only be protected by filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy
Because financial difficulties can be very complex, it's important to select a law firm that offers you the full range of debt relief solutions. A bankruptcy-only law firm may overlook less drastic solutions to debt problems. A credit counseling firm may be able to solve some of your financial problems — such as credit card debt — but be unable to deal with tax issues that would result in the loss of everything you are seeking to protect.
At Weintraub & Selth, APC, our lawyers have substantial experience in all types of business and personal bankruptcy, including Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and Chapter 13. We are committed to helping you achieve the best possible outcome: one that solves all of your financial problems and maximizes your opportunities for future success.
