When you're confronted by overwhelming debt, foreclosure or repossession, it is critical to understand your legal rights and options. Bankruptcy laws protect consumers from financial ruin and the potential to be abused by creditors. By allowing consumers to reduce, extend, or entirely eliminate their qualifying debts, bankruptcy offers all Americans a second chance to controlling their debt.

As a skilled Pittsburgh Bankruptcy Attorney, I have helped clients throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania reorganize or completely eliminate their debt, saving homes, cars and wages from overly aggressive creditors. I am highly qualified to guide you through the hurdles the complex new bankruptcy laws present.

I can advise you of all your legal options and help you decide if bankruptcy is the best choice for you. I provide solid legal guidance in the following areas:

• New Bankruptcy Laws
• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
  
• Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
  
• Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
  
• Foreclosure
• Real Estate
• Credit Counseling
• Debt Consolidation
• Petitions
• Adversary Proceedings
  

Bankruptcy law is a unique type of law based on forgiveness rather than punishment. As of October 17, 2005, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act took effect, enforcing tougher restrictions on consumers trying to file under Chapter 7 or 13.  As a respected Pittsburgh Bankruptcy Attorney, I have the necessary expertise to determine whether bankruptcy is the right choice for you, and the qualifications you must meet in order to file for bankruptcy.
