Foreclosure is a legal proceeding based on both contractual law and statutory law. Mortgages (promissory notes, deeds of trust and other associated documents) include clauses that create the right of foreclose. If exercised, statutes regulate the rights of creditors and debtors during the foreclosure process. For example, each homeowner must receive written notice of default and the intent to seize possession. In addition, creditors must follow a long list of precise rules when disposing of seized property.

Each debtor has a right to legal representation. All attorneys must receive a legal education from an accredited law school, pass a state bar exam, and maintain good standing with the state bar. To last, their professional licenses depend on it.

Attorneys also offer a wide range of options for their client’s consideration. Legal advice is only the starting point. Results are the goal. In the event and attorney errors, a client may pursue malpractice claims. In this sense, attorneys guarantee a good result, similar to an insurance policy. The few dollars saved by remaining in the dark, wondering about your legal rights, never produces satisfactory results. You may begin yourself, and discover how to protect yourself, your family, and loved ones. In addition, when you discuss your issues with an attorney, you will save time and target your best tactics with ease.

Long Odds, Lasting Bankruptcy Protection

The odds of any debtor filing bankruptcy a second time are less than 1 in 5 compared to the general population filing rate. The experience changes lives. After discharge, luxury is no longer a necessity. Ads tend to slip by unnoticed. Savings accounts grow. Investments are exciting and last a lifetime. Financial health and well being grow exponentially over the long haul. Discharge saves lives, families, careers, and enables quality of life.

To qualify for a discharge, you must comply with federal statutes and rules of court. No, court appearances are not fun. They are necessary. You are under scrutiny of federal judges, trustees and your creditors. Each has an agenda. Your attorney should protect you from each interested party, especially from frivolous objections.

It is possible to receive a discharge without an attorney. In most cases, pro se debtors fail to comply with all laws and rules and do not last long. Few debtors who represent themselves receive the full range of benefits available. As a result, the few hundred dollars saved are lost many times over through neglect.

The most economical cases are those in which a debtor is prepared, knows in advance the most rewarding rights to claim, and works cooperatively with an attorney. In these cases, attorneys do not waste time explaining basic rights, and may immediately begin claiming additional rights, benefits and advantages. To receive the best result, you must adopt a solid strategy early and decide upon the most effective tactics. Sadly, few people take advantage of this rich opportunity.

We designed our strategies manual with this singular goal as our guide. We want you to know early what to do, when to do it, and how to maximize your benefits each step.We want you to enjoy lasting bankruptcy protection. If you decide to file bankruptcy, you are prepared and may immediately begin enjoying the best possible results.
