I don't even know where to begin. It's now been a little over a year since my husband and I made the call to Hallaq Law. It was the BEST decision we made and a huge burden was lifted! It was the end of 2022 and we were in so much debt after going from a 2 income household to 1 due to the pandemic. We thought we'd be able to catch up on paying our bills that was accumulated but we were stuck. I vividly remember googling Law Firms in my area and Hallaq Law was at the top of the list. After reading the reviews, my husband and I discussed our options and made the call. It took us a while to finally get the ball rolling, but Brian and Diem walked us through the whole process and was always available when we had questions. It's long over due, but I wanted to THANK Brian and Diem for their guidance during the whole process. Look no further, Brian and Diem are the best and we can't thank them enough.

When searching for a bankruptcy attorney I literally just picked a person out of the long list of attorneys. It must have been a kismet! I am not an easy person as I tend to avoid and procrastinate. And yes, this is a daunting process to get through. While working with Teri I was immediately impressed by her crisp business-like approach. She literally has every step mapped out and every resource you will need during this journey. She is brilliant! She was patient and understanding and was still able to keep me on track and motivated to not avoid and procrastinate. She prepared me for every step and explained all possible outcomes. She was very flexible and accommodating. She never treated me like I should feel ashamed for a situation of my own making. Instead, she encouraged me to educate myself so that I do not find myself in this position ever again. She is compassionate, intelligent, and funny! She is an amazing woman, and anyone would be lucky to haver her in their corner representing their financial future. 100% Team Teri!!!

She was always there to answer any questions at the drop of a hat and offer support which helped keep our spirits up during a very stressful time. She took care of all of the complicated pieces that go with filing for bankruptcy. We could not have done it without her. Highly recommend her.

DUI Heroes really lives up to their name! Every member of the team lead with compassion but were highly professional. They were detail oriented, commutative and organized. Rachel Reich was my true hero! She was top notch!!! She is firm with defense. I could tell that she truly was looking out for my best interest. I LOVED how detailed she was as I never had to question what I needed to do and what was happening. She took the scariest part out of my situation which was the unknown. The success of the team is definitely inspired by Jonathan Dichter, the founder. He is very compassionate and his calmness and kindness helped tremendously in the beginning. My family and I were highly anxious and scared and his demeanor helped calm that down so we could make a quality decision. I also want to thank Lexi Bryon and Christopher Wong. They were on the team that helped me and I always appreciated their updates and friendliness. I almost forgot. They give a deal to get your breathalyzer at Lifesafer so you can save some money. This is not a cheap experience so every savings is valuable. What mattered to me most is that they NEVER made me feel ashamed. They actually said they were proud of my accomplishments in recovery (which I entered after my DUI). I was not in a good place and this was very much needed to help me recover. From every morsal of my heart - Thank you all!!

I contacted the Law Offices of James H. MaGee after talking to another attorney about my financial difficulties. The difference was night and day. I was confused about my options and swimming in an avalanche of information which only added to the confusion. My life had been reduced to sleepless nights and a steady stream of phone calls from my creditors demanding money I didn’t have. I was looking at losing my home and staring at a very dim road ahead. The Law Offices of James H. MaGee looked at my situation and took the time to answer my questions and to explain the Bankruptcy process to me. I went from being hopeless and terrified to having greater understanding and a reason to be hopefully. If any of this sounds like you and your situation I strongly encourage you to give them a call and make an appointment. There is no reason to live life paralyzed with fear any more… There is hope…. I highly recommend them!

From start to finish, Rafal Gorski and Caron were absolutely CARING professionals. They took into consideration my work schedule, covid restrictions and the details of my overall debt. It was smaller than usual debts and after talking to a few attorneys; wasn't sure if anyone would even look at what I needed. They cleared up an abundance of confusion on the process and timeframe of the bankruptcy process. Every step was explained, simplistic and exactly the way I expected each stage to go which was HUGE for me. Not to mention the communication is beyond what I thought I would get. I hope to never have to do this again, BUT if I did- I wouldn't go to anyone else. Rafal and Caron are an excellent team and I'm grateful they were the team that helped me.

Rafal is an excellent Bankruptcy Attorney. He and Caron were both very professional and handled my case in an expert fashion. Rafal & Caron walked me through the process with ease. Anytime I called, I always got right through and my questions were answered quickly and in terms that a layman could understand. I was always made to feel like I was a priority and not just a client signing the check. I was always told what to expect, so there were not any surprises. Their prices were reasonable, and in the middle of this horrendous pandemic, that was much appreciated! I would highly recommend Mr Gorski's Law Office for your Bankruptcy needs!

For over 3 years I was embroiled in a complicated litigation as the Defendant. I met with Robert Hahn for a consultation. The first thing I noticed was the bold copy of the U.S. Constitution on the wall, as a honorably discharged Veteran it made me think Robert was the right Lawyer for me. After he reviewed my case, I was impressed right away with the fact that Robert was able to explain bankruptcy in a way that I could understand, based on my particular case. At one point Robert's attention to detail caught a payment issue that I had overlooked. Robert's staff was always attentive, courteous, and responsive. When I made the decision to fight the case Robert & Kathy made sure all the items needed were in place in case things went bad. Even going through the stress of litigation It was re-assuring to have The Law Office of Robert C. Hahn III working with me. Thank you Robert & Staff. Sincere regards,

I called to request a consultation late on a Friday, the attorney was not available at that time. He called me back first thing on the following Saturday. I was really surprised as I had not expected to hear back until Monday. Tim provided me with suggestions as to what I should do and also provided me with the needed steps to take to move through the dispute on my own. He said that hiring an attorney would be more than the amount I was dealing with in regards to the dispute. His explanation was great and made me realize that this wasn't something that I had to freak out about and that it could be dealt with regardless of the outcome. He also didn't make me feel bad about the situation, which I appreciated. If for some reason I need to file bankruptcy in the future (I hope not) or if I know someone who is in need of a bankruptcy attorney, Tim will be who I go to or suggest to others.

Rochelle Shuffield is, by far, the single best attorney I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She has always been completely transparent, honest, and extremely helpful. There has never been a time where I have attempted to reach her and not gotten a timely response. She is kind, courteous, and frankly, knows what she is doing. I had the pleasure of meeting Rochelle during a very stressful time in my life. Like most people in a bankruptcy, I felt lost, confused, and a bit down on myself. Rochelle made it a point to make things comfortable, clear, and rational. She has always been supportive and willing to help when I need anything. If it were possible, I'd keep her on retainer for any and every thing. (hmmm...I may be on to something...) Honestly, if you find yourself in need of a bankruptcy attorney, you can end your search here. Rochelle Shuffield is the absolute best, hands down.

Rochelle is such a kind person and truly cares about helping people. She was able to ease my anxiety at our consultation and all I had to do is hand over all my debts and she did everything for me. What a relief to have a process be so easy after so many struggles. Even after everything was complete she still has continued to be there to answer questions and also mediate with creditors.

Adria, Made our experience with her so wonderful and with a lot of care as well. Unlike a lot of people in her profession she helped us with our worries and concerns. She gave us full attention and even told us there where things we could do for ourselves that would save us money. You don't get that from many people in a whole lot of professions. she's simply a kind and honest person who cares for you personally. Darrell and Sandra

Elizabeth made the embarrassing process of bankruptcy dignified, quick and thorough. This was a light at the end of a dark tunnel after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis for my husband 2014, and subsequent $200,000 of medical debt for treatments. Today he is still fighting the cancer, but 5 years after the bankruptcy, we pretty much have our financial life back to order. Thank you Elizabeth Mc Bride for looking past the accumulated debr, to the people really struggling and needing help.

I hired Branka in 2012 as my family law lawyer and she has fought long and hard ever since for my children and I. We went through an entire custody battle, I did not have my children to begin with and I do now . She is very passionate about her work and does a very thorough job. We've had to go back to court many times and she has truely been a God sent. I would never have been able to fight this very stressful battle successfully without her by my side.

In 2016 we were looking for Family Law Attorney to help our son with his divorce and child custody case. Branka Vukshich came highly recommended through our church conference. Her devotion to her client, knowledge of the law, professionalism and concern for doing what is right, honest and truthful is a positive relationship to work with. She believes in her clients and will give 150% while only asking 100% of the client. She was very up front in telling us that the court has the final decision in any case, so that we were prepared. We were very pleased with Branka. Both the divorce and the child custody case turned out just as had worked for. Would highly recommend her to others.

What a Bankruptcy Lawyer Can Do for You

A bankruptcy lawyer specializes in helping individuals and businesses manage overwhelming debt by filing for bankruptcy or exploring alternatives to bankruptcy. They guide clients through the complex legal process of discharging or restructuring debts, represent them in court, and work to protect assets such as homes and cars. Bankruptcy lawyers can also help stop creditor harassment, wage garnishment, and foreclosures through bankruptcy protections.

If you're facing financial hardship, a bankruptcy lawyer can help you decide whether filing for bankruptcy is the right option and assist you through the legal process.

When Should I Hire a Bankruptcy Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a bankruptcy lawyer in the following situations:

  • Unmanageable debt: If you're unable to pay your bills and debts are piling up, a lawyer can help you explore options such as Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
  • Foreclosure or repossession: If your home is at risk of foreclosure or your vehicle is in danger of being repossessed, a bankruptcy lawyer can help you use bankruptcy protections to prevent this and potentially reorganize your debts.
  • Wage garnishment: If your wages are being garnished, filing for bankruptcy can stop garnishments and allow you to regain control of your finances.
  • Creditor harassment: If creditors are constantly calling or sending collection notices, a bankruptcy lawyer can stop these actions by filing for bankruptcy, which enacts an automatic stay that halts collection activities.
  • Small business debt: If your business is struggling with debt and cannot meet financial obligations, a lawyer can help you file for Chapter 11 (reorganization) or Chapter 7 (liquidation) bankruptcy.
  • Medical debt or credit card debt: If you have large amounts of unsecured debt like medical bills or credit card balances, a bankruptcy lawyer can help you seek relief through Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Hiring a bankruptcy lawyer early in the process can prevent further financial damage and help you choose the best legal option for debt relief.

What Does a Bankruptcy Lawyer Do?

A bankruptcy lawyer provides a range of services to help individuals and businesses handle their debts. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Evaluating your financial situation: Assessing your income, assets, debts, and expenses to determine if bankruptcy is the right option and which type of bankruptcy (Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or Chapter 11) best suits your situation.
  • Filing bankruptcy petitions: Preparing and filing the necessary documents to initiate your bankruptcy case, ensuring that all legal requirements are met.
  • Stopping creditor harassment: Once the bankruptcy case is filed, an automatic stay is enacted, which stops creditors from pursuing collection efforts. A lawyer ensures this protection is applied immediately.
  • Representing you in court: Representing you in court proceedings, including meetings with creditors and any hearings related to your case.
  • Negotiating with creditors: In Chapter 13 or Chapter 11 bankruptcies, negotiating a repayment plan that restructures your debts and allows you to manage payments more effectively.
  • Advising on asset protection: Guiding you on how to protect certain assets, such as your home or retirement savings, through available bankruptcy exemptions.
  • Explaining the impact on your credit: Informing you about how bankruptcy will affect your credit and advising on steps to rebuild your credit post-bankruptcy.

How Are Bankruptcy Lawyers Paid?

Bankruptcy lawyers typically charge for their services in different ways depending on the complexity of the case and the type of bankruptcy being filed. Common payment structures include:

  • Flat fee: Many bankruptcy lawyers charge a flat fee for handling Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases. This fee usually covers the entire process, from preparing and filing paperwork to representing you in court.
  • Hourly rate: For more complex cases, such as Chapter 11 bankruptcy (often used by businesses), some lawyers charge an hourly rate. Hourly rates typically range from $150 to $500 or more.
  • Retainer: In cases where ongoing legal services are required, such as in Chapter 11 bankruptcies or complex Chapter 13 cases, a lawyer may request a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as the lawyer works on the case.

It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer upfront, as bankruptcy law requires lawyers to disclose all fees and ensure they are reasonable and fair.

How Much Does a Bankruptcy Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a bankruptcy lawyer varies depending on the type of bankruptcy and the complexity of the case. General cost estimates include:

  • Chapter 7 bankruptcy: For individuals, legal fees usually range from $1,000 to $3,500. This flat fee generally covers the entire process.
  • Chapter 13 bankruptcy: For individuals filing Chapter 13, legal fees typically range from $2,500 to $6,000. This cost is higher because of the additional work required to create and manage the repayment plan.
  • Chapter 11 bankruptcy (for businesses): Chapter 11 bankruptcy is more complex and usually more expensive, with legal fees ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the size of the business and the complexity of the debt restructuring.
  • Filing fees: In addition to legal fees, there are also court filing fees, which are $338 for Chapter 7 and $313 for Chapter 13 as of 2024.

Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand what services are included and whether payment plans are available.

Top Questions to Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer

Before hiring a bankruptcy lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and knowledge to handle your case effectively. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with bankruptcy cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee or hourly rate, and ask for a detailed breakdown of costs, including filing fees and additional expenses.
  3. Which type of bankruptcy is best for me?
    Ask the lawyer to explain whether Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or Chapter 11 is the best option based on your financial situation and long-term goals.
  4. What debts can be discharged?
    Ask which of your debts will be forgiven through bankruptcy and which debts (such as certain taxes or student loans) may not be dischargeable.
  5. How long will the process take?
    Bankruptcy cases can take time to resolve, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last, from filing to discharge.
  6. Will I be able to keep my assets?
    Ask if you will be able to keep important assets, such as your home or car, and what exemptions might apply.
  7. What happens after bankruptcy?
    Ask about the impact of bankruptcy on your credit score and what steps you can take to rebuild your credit after the bankruptcy is finalized.

How to Check the Credibility of a Bankruptcy Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable bankruptcy lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for bankruptcy experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in bankruptcy law and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and ability to handle bankruptcy cases.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on bankruptcy matters.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Look for lawyers who are members of organizations such as the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA) or who have specialized bankruptcy law certifications.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a bankruptcy lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • List of debts: Prepare a detailed list of all your debts, including credit cards, personal loans, medical bills, and any secured debts such as mortgages or car loans.
  • Income and expense records: Bring documents that show your current income, such as pay stubs or tax returns, and a list of your monthly expenses, including rent, utilities, and other essential costs.
  • Asset information: Provide information on any assets you own, such as your home, car, investments, or other valuable property.
  • Credit reports: If possible, bring copies of your credit reports to give the lawyer a clear view of your financial situation.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions you have about the bankruptcy process, the lawyer’s fees, and what to expect after filing for bankruptcy.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your needs.
