We Can Help You Consider Your Options, Fully Informed

We are dedicated lawyers who listen to our clients to get a complete understanding of their financial situations and relevant circumstances.

In the process, we strive to make sure that our clients’ misconceptions about bankruptcy are dispelled and their fears are addressed so that they fully understand their options, before choosing a course of action.

How Will Bankruptcy Alternatives or Bankruptcy Impact Your Tax Burden?

For example, many debtors are not aware of tax consequences of different approaches to dealing with bankruptcy. If you settle a debt with a creditor outside of Bankruptcy Court or agree to resolve your foreclosure problem through a short sale of your home, you may end up with a large tax bill to pay. Forgiven debts are generally considered income to the IRS. In a bankruptcy, however, your debts are discharged altogether. That means they no longer exist — and therefore, the amount of debt discharged is not taxable.
