Even if you are not considering bankruptcy, but have questions about your debts, give us a call.

Personal finances play a major role in our day-to-day happiness. When those finances becomes strained, often through no fault of our own, life becomes difficult and stressful.

Or, you may be less informed and are currently seeking guidance. Either way, I can help. I am a Pittsburgh bankruptcy attorney serving all of Allegheny County and Western Pennsylvania by filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy for clients just like you.
Services
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is an option for many lower-income individuals seeking debt relief from significant financial hardship.
I am an experienced Pittsburgh bankruptcy attorney who can help you explore whether Chapter 7 bankruptcy is an option for you.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy has the potential to resolve many nagging debt issues.
Most types of unsecured debt can be eliminated.
This includes credit card debt, medical bills, "pay day loans", personal loans, and even debt related to a personal business.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is an option for higher income individuals with the ability to repay some or all creditors.
It can be either voluntary or mandatory, depending on household income.
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows an individual or married couple to file a "reorganization plan" through the Federal Court system.
This plan offers a wide range of options and protections that are vastly superior to a normal "debt consolidation".
I am an experienced Pittsburgh bankruptcy attorney who can help you file and execute a Chapter 13 bankruptcy reorganization plan.
While Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy often prove to be effective tools in helping individuals deal with financial problems, they are not the only options.
My office will help you consider alternatives after meeting and hearing about your situation.
Settling a debt doesn't require filing a bankruptcy.
But, considering there is often thousands (or tens of thousands) of dollars on the line, it is best to be fully informed about every option and its long-term consequences.
Bankruptcy may be something you don't want to do until you consider all other options.
While all consumer bankruptcy law is derived from the Federal Bankruptcy Code, practice varies greatly from state-to-state, and even within states.
You need a bankruptcy lawyer who is familiar with local practice, local rules and regulations, and the local bankruptcy system.
More specifically, any bankruptcy filed in Allegheny County will follow an identical process, whether you live inside or outside the city limits.
If you live in one of the surrounding counties of Western Pennsylvania, such as Butler, Beaver, Westmoreland, or Washington county, your bankruptcy case will likely proceed in a similar fashion, though your Chapter 7 Trustee will be selected from a different pool of trustees.
The following is an overview of the foreclosure process in Pennsylvania.
It should not be construed as legal advice, but instead as a guide to better understand foreclosure.
If your home is in foreclosure, or headed towards foreclosure, you should immediately contact a foreclosure attorney.
Time is of the essence, as will become clear below.
I will be happy to sit down with you in my office and discuss if keeping your home is a viable option, and if it is, the best plan of action.
I will also help you plan your future living arrangements if keeping your home out of foreclosure is not possible.
