Bankruptcy
Stanley Phillips Berman has over twenty-five years of local experience representing debtors in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcies. The cases are filed in the Sacramento District Court for debtors residing in Nevada, Placer, Sierra, Yuba, Sutter, Butte, and El Dorado Counties. The cities served include Nevada City, Grass Valley, Cedar Ridge, Colfax, Auburn, North San Juan, Downieville, Roseville, Sacramento, Cool, Foresthill, Smarsville, Penn Valley, Lake of the Pines, Yuba City, and Marysville.
Mr. Berman will meet with you for a free initial consultation during which you can explain your personal financial situation and possible solutions can be explored. If you choose to file a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy all paperwork will be completed by Mr. Berman from information derived during face to face interviews. You will not be sent home to complete complex financial questionnaires. The advantages of different bankruptcy options will be explored.
Once you decide on a course of action relief from creditor action such as wage garnishment, collection calls, liens, foreclosure and repossession will be put into place. A chapter 7 case will make you no longer responsible for your debts while a Chapter 13 will allow you to keep up payments on secured debt such as your home or vehicle, often at reduced amounts, while your unsecured debt can be eliminated much as is achieved in a chapter 7. Currently, second mortgages and home equity loans are often eliminated after a Chapter 13 bankruptcy if the value of your home does not exceed the amount of your first mortgage.
Mr. Berman will attend with you at the mandatory Meeting of Ceditors held about a month after filing in Sacramento. Mr. Berman’s fees are the lowest in the area. This coupled with over twenty-five years of experience mean that your case will be handled efficiently and successfully so you can go forward after bankruptcy free of the stress and burden of financial hardship and enjoy the fresh start that is your legal right under United States Federal Law.
