Practice Areas

Bankruptcy Legal Services in Phoenix and Chandler, Arizona

At the Law Offices of Jim Olsen, we handle a broad range of bankruptcy-related legal issues, from negotiating with creditors to providing legal counsel regarding preventing home foreclosure. Our practice areas include:

• Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Liquidate nonexempt assets, pay off creditors at a reduced payoff level, drastically reducing your debt levels and giving you the chance for a fresh start
• Chapter 11 bankruptcy. As credit tightens in a challenging market, cash flow issues are increasingly common. Use Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to remain in business while reorganizing your business's debt.
• Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows individuals and families who meet disposable income levels to retain all property, while paying off debt at reduced levels through a court-approved payoff plan.
• Foreclosure actions. Before foreclosure threatens your home, consider Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which can often help you bring debt to manageable levels while retaining your home.
• Credit card debt and bankruptcy. Credit card debt is eligible for restructuring through bankruptcy protection. Bankruptcy can free you from years of payments at excessively high interest rates.
• Stopping creditor harassment. Creditors are barred from many forms of contact and collection efforts once a debtor files for bankruptcy protection.
• Debt negotiation. We can negotiate with creditors, review lease and loan contracts, work to halt wage garnishment, and prevent bank account and vehicle seizure.
• Life after bankruptcy. Bankruptcy most often protects your home, car pension, personal items, medical devices, workers’ compensation income and tools related to your livelihood while still halting the creditor harassment that is ruining your life.
• Will I lose my car or home? Chapter 13 bankruptcy protects all of your property, and Chapter 7 bankruptcy will protect your home and car in most instances. We can provide counsel at every step to ensure you retain the property most important to you.
