Our Bankruptcy Practice

Contrary to popular belief, the 2005 changes to federal bankruptcy law did not remove bankruptcy as a viable solution for all debt-ridden consumers. If you are facing mortgage foreclosure, automobile repossession, mounting credit card debt or huge medical bills, we can help. If you are buried in debt, Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy may offer relief. Stanton M. Lacks, Attorney at Law, will explain the difference between these two types of bankruptcy and how they can help you get relief from crushing debt and start a fresh financial future.

We will explain how bankruptcy may be used to stop home foreclosure if you are behind on mortgage payments and we can help you put a stop to creditor harassment — even before you file the bankruptcy petition.
