Bankruptcy is not easy. Sometimes it is unavoidable. Filing for bankruptcy is not a quick fix—it is a fair and legal means to allow people to find relief when they are unable to pay their bills. It can happen to anyone, and all it could take is a lost job or a large medical bill that is not paid by insurance. Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy can give you a clean start to your financial life.

Debt Relief and Bankruptcy Law Firm

As part of our debt relief and bankruptcy practice, we can answer any questions about any aspect of bankruptcy, such as:

Adversary Actions: Adversary actions, or adversary proceedings, are lawsuits filed within bankruptcy proceedings. For example, when a creditor objects to the discharge of a debt, they may file an adversary action against the debtor to prevent the discharge of the debt.
FDCPA : The FDCPA (Fair Debt Collections Practices Act) provides consumers protection from certain debt collection practices. The act prohibits debt collectors from harassing debtors or engaging in other types of abusive or unfair practices.
Debt Collection Defense : We defend against third parties who allege that they are owed the amount of your debt. One important defense tactic is to challenge the information the debt collectors have regarding the debt because if the third party cannot prove the existence of the debt, they cannot collect the debt.
Post-Discharge — Permanent Stay Enforcement : If your debts were discharged in bankruptcy, the court will enter a permanent-stay to prohibit creditors from contacting you to collect discharged debt. We enforce this permanent stay if the creditors are harassing you after your bankruptcy.
Avoiding Foreclosure: We provide comprehensive guidance to homeowners in danger of losing their homes to foreclosure. We will discuss your specific situation and inform you of your options. Options include mortgage loan modifications and bankruptcy.
Consumer Credit Counseling: We can answer your questions about consumer credit counseling and address aspects of credit counseling that are commonly misunderstood. We encourage people to always talk to our attorney before enrolling in any consumer credit counseling seminar.
Exemptions: Through the use of exemptions, the federal Bankruptcy Code provides some protection for specific types of property. The Bankruptcy Code establishes property exemption amounts, but it also includes provisions that may allow a debtor to use exemptions and exemption amounts provided by state law. Sometimes state exemptions can be more favorable. We can answer your questions about what you can keep.
Bankruptcy Reform Act: "Reforms" to the bankruptcy laws in the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2005 have made the process more complicated and expensive. We have incorporated those costs into our upfront price so that there will not be any hidden costs at the end of your case.
DUI and Traffic Ticket Defense : We represent clients who have been stopped on suspicion of driving under the influence and other traffic citations, such as speeding, reckless driving and failure to wear a seatbelt. Attorney Angela Acree's experience as a former Springfield, Missouri, Municipal Court Judge has prepared her for handling your case efficiently and effectively.
