Not only can Lakelaw help provide personal debt relief, but we are also one of the first Wisconsin law firms to help clients fight back against predatory lending to avoid foreclosure. We are more than bankruptcy lawyers who understand bankruptcy law and bankruptcy law only; we are also financial services attorneys who are able to consider each client's full financial circumstances. We see clients as being more than just another bankruptcy case — we look at the entire individual. We can help you reorganize your small business under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy code or Chapter 128 of the Wisconsin Statutes as well.
Bankruptcy Attorneys Recognized as Experts Locally and Nationally
Because our attorneys have so much experience in bankruptcy law and are able to approach each case from a broad base of financial knowledge, they are frequently called upon to teach at Wisconsin, Illinois, national seminars and local bar gatherings. In addition, David Leibowitz has testified as an expert witness in bankruptcy court, and both of Lakelaw’s attorneys have been appointed as Chapter 7 trustees by the United States Trustee Program of the Department of Justice.
Building a New Life After Bankruptcy
Starting life after bankruptcy can be challenging, and it never hurts to have some extra help. At Lakelaw, our "Lakelaw Cares" program offers ongoing support to our bankruptcy clients after they receive their bankruptcy discharge. This includes credit counseling, assistance with budgets, referrals to sources for transportation and housing, and help dealing with creditors, credit reporting agencies and credit bureaus that mistakenly or maliciously continue to try to collect or report on debts that have been discharged.
