Best Family Law Attorneys in Oshkosh, WI

You have probably been experiencing financial difficulty for a long while now and are concerned how long it would take for a bankruptcy to help. We can file bankruptcy protection for you as soon as a week after you contact us. After it is filed, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy takes about 3-4 months to receive a full discharge of debts. However, relief from debt collection starts the minute you file bankruptcy and your creditors have to immediately stop collecting all money owed. They have to stop sending collection letters and making harassing phone calls. They have to stop lawsuits and garnishments. They have to stop taking automatic payments from your bank account. They have to stop foreclosure on your house.

Phone calls from creditors and collection agencies at all hours can be frustrating. When you file bankruptcy, all collection efforts must stop. It is illegal for creditors or collection agencies to contact you at all after you file bankruptcy. They can no longer send you bills or threatening collection letters. Those annoying phone calls will also stop. You will be able to answer your phone again!

Repeated calls at all hours of the day from collection agencies can be annoying and stressful. Most outstanding bills, even those in collections, are included in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If you owe a bill, even as low as $15, or as high as $15,000, this debt would be included in your bankruptcy. Not only are debts that are already in collections included in your bankruptcy, debts that have been already entered as court judgments against you are included. We will make sure all bills that qualify will be wiped out in your bankruptcy.

Unfortunately, we are all too familiar with this problem, and it is far more common than most people realize. If your spouse has concealed assets, we will work with you to find hidden money, income or property using all means legally available. We have the ability to send subpoenas to employers, businesses, banks and close friends or relatives of a spouse; and when appropriate, we will work with forensic accountants, private investigators and other professionals to help trace and locate the hidden money, income or assets. However, one must always keep costs into account and make a cost/benefit analysis when it comes to finding hidden funds. For example, it does not make sense to spend $1000 to find $1000. Our firm will work with you to determine what degree of investigation is worthwhile in your particular case.
