Lakelaw - Bankruptcy Attorneys

Serving Southeastern Wisconsin in Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Some consumer bankruptcy firms see all bankruptcies as being essentially the same. And for any attorney who does not look closely into the unique, individual details of each client's bankruptcy, as well as his or her overall financial and legal picture, it certainly would be difficult to distinguish one bankruptcy case from the next. At Lakelaw we are able to handle the most complicated of bankruptcies.

At Lakelaw, we treat each client as an individual, a complete human being — not just as a number or a stack of papers. For more information about bankruptcy, follow the links below:

  • Bankruptcy: A general overview on bankruptcy and a bit about what you can expect if you are thinking about filing.
  • Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Also called "wage earner" bankruptcy, Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to avoid having your assets repossessed, and you pay back a portion of your debt.
  • Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Also called "liquidation" or "straight" bankruptcy, Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharges all debt immediately, but you may have to surrender some assets.
  • Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and Chapter 128 Receiverships: If you have a small or medium sized business, we can help you either under Chapter 11 or under Wisconsin's unique procedures known as Chapter 128.
  • Saving Your Home from Mortgage Foreclosure: If you are one of the many Americans facing foreclosure, find out what we can do to try and stop it. You may have important claims under the Truth in Lending Act, RESPA and many Wisconsin statutes.
  • Fight Back Against Predatory Lending and Mortgage Rescue Fraud: If you have been tricked into an unfair loan by a predatory lender or mortgage scam artist, find out about our cutting-edge methods of fighting back.
  • Lakelaw Cares — Life After Bankruptcy: After bankruptcy is over, you may still need help. With the new Lakelaw Cares program, we help our clients to regain their financial footing.
  • Getting Ready for Bankruptcy: At Lakelaw, we encourage you to send us the details of your financial affairs from the privacy of your home. Fill out our secure online questionnaire so that we will be ready to give you personal attention from your very first meeting with us. Check out what you can do to prepare yourself for bankruptcy. We also provide you with a link to obtain a free credit report — saving the fee you might otherwise have to pay at another law firm.
  • Bankruptcy FAQ: Answers to frequently asked questions about bankruptcy.
  • Bankruptcy, Divorce and Community Property : Very often, bankruptcy, divorce and asset protection go hand in hand. This is particularly important in Wisconsin. Attorney James W. McNeilly has vast experience untangling these complex financial issues.
