Services
Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy provides legal solutions to eliminate or restructure debt. It halts foreclosure, wage garnishment, and creditor harassment. Our attorneys guide clients through Chapters 7 and 13 to achieve financial freedom, ensuring compliance with federal and state laws.
Debt Settlement
Debt settlement reduces unsecured debts through creditor negotiations. We help clients pay less than owed by managing trust accounts and securing favorable settlements. This service avoids bankruptcy while stopping harassment from collectors.
Chapter 7
Chapter 7 eliminates unsecured debt through asset liquidation. We assess exemptions to protect homes, cars, and personal property. Our team ensures compliance with Arizona's $150,000 homestead exemption and manages petitions from filing to discharge.
Chapter 13
Chapter 13 restructures debt into 3-5 year repayment plans. We help clients retain assets excluded from Chapter 7, handle lien modifications, and create court-approved plans. This option suits those exceeding income limits or with non-dischargeable debts.
Creditor Representation
Creditor representation defends clients against harassment and lawsuits. We handle communications, enforce automatic stays post-filing, and negotiate payment terms. Our goal is to eliminate threats of garnishment, repossession, and asset levies through legal advocacy.

We offer Chapter 7 for debt elimination and Chapter 13 for repayment plans. Our attorneys evaluate income, assets, and debt types to recommend the best option for financial recovery.
How does debt settlement work?
Debt settlement negotiates reduced payments with creditors. Clients deposit funds into a trust account while we secure settlements, often for 55% or less of owed amounts, stopping harassment immediately.
Do I need a lawyer for bankruptcy?
While optional, our experienced attorneys navigate complex filings, exemptions, and court requirements to ensure successful outcomes, avoiding costly errors common in self-represented cases.
Are payment plans available for legal fees?
Yes, we offer low flat fees and customized payment plans to make bankruptcy or debt settlement accessible without upfront costs.
Can bankruptcy stop foreclosure?
Filing for bankruptcy triggers an automatic stay, halting foreclosure proceedings. Chapter 13 allows catching up on mortgage payments while retaining home equity.
