Attorney in South Carolina
Personal Bankruptcy ◊ Estate Planning ◊ Asset Protection
If you are struggling to meet your financial obligations and are weary of the persistent letters and phone calls from collection agencies, filing for protection under the federal bankruptcy laws can be a stop sign to your creditors. Once you file, you can stop the calls, stop the letters, stop the collections actions. Bankruptcy, however, is not always the best solution for debt problems. You want a lawyer who understands the challenges associated with a bankruptcy filing and who will treat you with dignity, compassion and professionalism. You want an attorney who will be honest with you and give you the information and advice you need.

Our Personal Bankruptcy Practice
We handle all matters related to personal bankruptcy filings, including Chapter 7 (liquidation) and Chapter 13 (reorganization) proceedings. We will help you determine whether you qualify to discharge your debts under Chapter 7 or whether your only option in bankruptcy is the reorganization of your debts under Chapter 13. If you qualify for protection under Chapter 7, we will make certain you understand which debts can be extinguished before you file. We will also help you protect all assets that are exempt from sale in a bankruptcy filing.
Bankruptcy is a Solution, Not a Failure
We will prepare all necessary documents to help you seek bankruptcy protection and will act as your advocate in all proceedings with creditors, the bankruptcy trustee and the bankruptcy court.
Estate Planning and Asset Protection as an Alternative to Bankruptcy
Not all people are good candidates for a personal bankruptcy filing. In certain circumstances, you may lose a lot more through bankruptcy than you would lose through estate planning and other asset protection strategies. If you have significant net worth, we will work with you to find other ways to protect your assets than through a bankruptcy filing, including the use of estate planning tools, such as wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney and health care powers of attorney.
In certain situations, we can use business or corporate formation to protect your assets. Whatever your situation, we will customize asset protection strategies to meet your individual needs.
