Bankruptcy Is Only One of Many Options
Times are tough all over the country. Families throughout the United States are struggling with mounting debt, layoffs or reduced hours at work, and insufficient health insurance to cover medical bills during illness.
If you are fighting a rising tide of debt or if a layoff, a lower salary or reduced hours have affected your family's ability to pay monthly bills, you owe it to yourself to explore your debt relief options and find a way to get back on your feet.
Finding a Debt Solution Means Protecting Your Assets
At The Mathews Group, LC, located in Leawood, Kansas, our lawyers use various debt solutions such as bankruptcy as part of larger asset protection plans for our clients. We do not delude people into bankruptcy or present it as the only option. Instead, we look at all of your income and debts, as well as future prospects, and work with you hand in hand to decide which debt solutions best fit your needs.
Bankruptcy: We can analyze your eligibility for either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. We will give you honest information about the pros and cons of bankruptcy filings, so you and your family can make an informed decision about whether bankruptcy is the right debt solution for you.
Tax Planning and Tax Defense: Smart and aggressive tax planning and defense is often an extremely useful solution to debt burdens for individuals and businesses.
Home foreclosures: A notice of foreclosure is often the final blow that drives a family to seek legal advice about their debt burdens. Bankruptcy is not the only method of foreclosure defense. Depending on the family circumstances, your attorney may be able to negotiate a loan modification with the lender to change the terms of your home loan so that it's more manageable.
Legal action against debt settlement companies: Dishonest debt settlement companies are the new "ambulance chasers." Too often we hear stories from clients who have paid money to debt settlement companies, only to never hear from the company again. Not only can we take over the debt settlement company's work on behalf of our clients, we can organize formal legal action against unscrupulous companies that take advantage of desperate people during desperate times.
