Bankruptcy Overview

Prominent Salem, Massachusetts, Bankruptcy Lawyer

Getting out from under excessive debt by filing bankruptcy can be one of the most important decisions your family will make. Most people never intended to get in over their heads. In fact the majority of people who come to the Law Offices of Kenneth E. Lindauer to discuss their debt relief needs tell us that they don't know how their credit problems grew so overwhelming. We can help you with all of your debt relief needs. From the moment you hire us to represent you, an automatic stay litigation will take effect. That means that your creditors must immediately stop foreclosure, repossession, garnishment, and all further collections proceedings against you, until they receive relief from the bankruptcy courts. All harassing collections calls must come to our office, not your home.

Talk to us about our affordable fees and payment options

Free initial consultation about your bankruptcy needs.

If you are looking for honest, complete answers to your debt problems, our attorneys are ready to help. We will provide a free initial consultation to help you decide whether bankruptcy is right for you. Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you may eliminate all of your unsecured consumer debt. We can also help you to keep your house from foreclosure by applying the rules of the Homestead Act. Under the rules of Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you may include all of your unsecured and secured debt, including student loans, in a supervised debt repayment plan that can save you thousands of dollars in interest and penalty payments. There are clear advantages to both, and we will help you decide which one is best for your family. If bankruptcy isn't your best option, we will tell you why, and what other options might be to your advantage, without the expense of hiring a lawyer.

We offer debt relief services such as:

  • Chapter 7 debt-elimination bankruptcy
  • Chapter 13 debt-reorganization bankruptcy
  • Prevention of foreclosure, keeping you car and other property
  • Workouts and debt restructuring
  • Debtor-in-possession financing
  • Asset sales
  • Involuntary petitions

At the core of our nation's bankruptcy laws is the notion that honest, hardworking citizens should be given the opportunity for a fresh start in life. Bankruptcy holds out a promise of a new, brighter future without the burden of excessive debt. We bring experience, skill, and creativity to the highly complex area of bankruptcy law. Contact our offices for a free initial consultation today. Our fees are fair and won't create more debt problems than you already have.
