Bankruptcy Lawyers Who Will Take the Time to Listen

The Law Office of Weiss & Schmidgall, P.C., in Merrillville, Indiana, believes in listening first and talking second. That's why our bankruptcy consultations always begin with a frank discussion of what brings you to see us.

For most of our clients, a key event has put them in a financial hole. That event may be job loss, divorce, a serious illness or injury, having a judgment entered against them or another crisis. No matter what caused you to fall behind in your bills, there is a way to get a fresh financial start.

We help our clients file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. However, depending on your situation, there may be alternatives like a loan modification, debt consolidation or collections defense that can reduce or eliminate your debt without filing bankruptcy. We take the time to inform you about debtors' rights, what creditors can legally do when contacting you, and what debt relief options will best suit your needs.

A surprising benefit to filing for bankruptcy is that it may even help you restore your driving privileges. If your license has been suspended following an accident where you were either uninsured or underinsured, bankruptcy might get you back on the road, particularly when an insurance company has successfully filed a subrogation claim against you. Our attorneys can evaluate your unique situation and determine if this option is right for you.

Act Now to Protect Your Property

If you have received a home foreclosure notice, a wage garnishment, a summons or notice of claim or you have had your car repossessed, don't wait to talk to a lawyer. There are legal ways to protect your assets while putting an immediate stop to creditor harassment. The sooner you act, the more options you will have for negotiating settlements with creditors and finding alternatives to foreclosure.

This website provides information about the common forms of bankruptcy protection and foreclosure defense or loan modification options. However, it is not designed to replace a one-on-one consultation with one of our Merrillville bankruptcy attorneys and foreclosure defense lawyers. Everyone's financial situation is different, and only an experienced lawyer can advise you about your debt relief options.

From our office in Merrillville, our attorneys serve clients in Lake and Porter counties as well as those cities as far away as South Bend and Lafayette.
