Which Debt Solution Is Right for You?
Money trouble can come from almost any direction. Job loss is a major cause of financial trouble, as are unexpected medical expenses or wage garnishments after a lawsuit. Many Americans get into deep water with consumer credit card debt — and it can be next to impossible to figure out how to escape.
Don't Ignore the Problems ...
Don't Trust Just Anyone With Your Financial Future
It's sad but true — there are plenty of people and companies ready to take advantage of people who are facing financial challenges. Credit counseling agencies may or may not be legitimate.
The first step toward financial freedom is to face your problems head on instead of burying your head in the sand. When you decide to take charge of your debt problems, turn to an accomplished and well-established law firm for guidance and reasonably priced assistance.
Located in Novi, The Shaw Group, P.C., is a small law firm that focuses almost exclusively on bankruptcy petitions and other legal options to help people with major debt. Our law firm is led by an experienced Michigan lawyer, Edward Shaw, who brings more than two decades of experience to bear on his clients' cases.
The Most Common Debt Solutions for People Facing Major Financial Trouble
Bankruptcy is the most common choice of action for people trying to deal with unmanageable debt. There are two forms of bankruptcy, Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. The different types of bankruptcy petitions have different qualifying tests and result in different types of debt relief. An experienced attorney can analyze your financial circumstances and help you figure out if bankruptcy is the best option for you. We will also give you detailed information about life after bankruptcy, so that you can make your decision with all the knowledge you need.
Many people come to our office for guidance before or during the home foreclosure process. We offer well-rounded advice about options to deal with home foreclosure, including home foreclosure defense services designed to help you keep your home.
Other alternatives to bankruptcy include negotiating with your lender for a short sale of your home or for a modification of your home loan. We can advise you on the pros and cons of each possibility.
Tax debt is another problem that drives many people into terrible financial trouble. Most tax debt cannot be erased with bankruptcy proceedings. However, our law firm regularly negotiates with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to help clients lower their past-due tax bills.
