Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy offers debt elimination through asset liquidation for qualifying individuals. Our experienced attorneys guide clients through the means test requirements and exemption protections under Texas law. This process typically concludes within 90-120 days, providing swift relief from medical bills, credit card debt, and other unsecured obligations while preserving essential assets.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 creates structured repayment plans for debtors with regular income. Our team develops customized 3-5 year plans that prioritize mortgage arrears and tax obligations while reducing unsecured debt payments. This option preserves non-exempt assets and establishes financial stability through court-approved payment schedules managed directly by our legal team.
Foreclosure Defense
Our foreclosure defense strategies include loan modification negotiation, HAMP compliance challenges, and bankruptcy-based protection. We leverage federal programs like Make Home Affordable and Texas-specific legal requirements to stop sheriff's sales and renegotiate mortgage terms while representing clients in all court proceedings.
Loan Modifications
We negotiate principal reductions and payment restructuring with lenders through documented hardship programs. Our process includes preparing complete financial packages, attending creditor conferences, and ensuring HAMP compliance while protecting clients from predatory modification scams.
Creditor Harassment Protection
Federal automatic stay protections stop wage garnishments, lawsuits, and collection calls immediately upon bankruptcy filing. Our attorneys handle all creditor communications and document violations for potential damages while developing long-term debt resolution strategies.
