Call Us Now!
Finding an attorney who is a “real person” can be difficult. Many attorneys surround themselves almost exclusively with other attorneys and are accustomed to speaking in ivory tower legalese. You should be able to connect with your attorney on a personal level, and he or she should speak to you in plain language that you can understand. You will be working very closely with this person on issues that are very important to you. It is important that he or she be down-to-earth and someone that you connect with.
The most common complaint that clients have of their attorneys is that the attorney is unreachable, does not communicate with them regularly, or does not promptly return your calls. Your attorney should reach out to you about your case regularly and respond within 24 hours to calls and e-mails. An open line of communication between you and your attorney is essential to building trust.

Your attorney’s goal should not be to win at all costs. Rather, it should be to achieve a favorable outcome for you as efficiently as possible. It is important that your attorney set realistic expectations at the outset as to the costs you should expect, the concerns that the attorney has about the outcome of your case, and the length of time that you should expect your case to take.
Regardless of the nature of your case, we have an experienced attorney who will focus on your individual needs. Our team of attorneys works closely together, bringing each of their different fields of experience to bear in order to optimize our client care.

When debts pile up and financial obligations become too much to handle, it feels like there’s no way out. Many people in Waukesha facing these issues worry about losing their homes, cars, or other essentials. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a solution designed to help individuals eliminate unsecured debts such as credit card bills, medical bills, and personal loans while protecting their most important assets. Our Waukesha bankruptcy attorneys will guide you through this process so you can get back in control of your financial future.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also known as “liquidation bankruptcy”, allows qualifying individuals to discharge most of their unsecured debts and start over financially. Unlike Chapter 13 bankruptcy code which is a repayment plan, Chapter 7 is a quicker process that gives you immediate relief from creditors and debt collectors. But to be eligible you must meet certain income requirements and have little to no disposable income. The bankruptcy petition is filed in bankruptcy court where you will need to submit financial information and attend court meetings as part of the process.
For many, Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a second chance – a way to wipe out debt and rebuild a solid financial base. While the process may seem scary, our Waukesha bankruptcy attorneys will guide you through each step with ease and confidence.
Meet a Waukesha woman who after a series of unexpected medical emergencies found herself underwater in debt. Despite working full time she couldn’t keep up with the mortgage payments, the medical bills, and credit card payments. Debt collectors were calling daily and she felt like there was no way out. After learning about Chapter 7 bankruptcy, she decided to seek legal help to file bankruptcy.
Our bankruptcy attorneys reviewed her situation and determined she was eligible for Chapter 7. We walked her through the process, helped her file the paperwork, and our bankruptcy lawyer represented her at the bankruptcy hearing. A few months later she was debt-free, kept her home and car, and finally had the financial relief she needed. This is what Chapter 7 bankruptcy can do for someone who feels like they’re drowning in debt.
If you’re considering Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Waukesha, you need to know the process and what to expect. Here’s a general overview:
Filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Waukesha has many benefits:
While Chapter 7 is a powerful tool for debt relief, it’s not for everyone. You need to consider your financial situation, the types of debts you have, and your long-term goals. Another option to consider is debt settlement which is negotiating with creditors to accept a lower payment as payment in full for debts owed, versus the legal process of bankruptcy which discharges debts entirely. Our Waukesha bankruptcy attorneys can help you figure out what’s best for you.
It’s not an easy decision to file for bankruptcy and we’re here to provide gentle and non-judgmental guidance throughout the process. We want to help you get the relief you need to protect your assets and set you up for a better future.
