In June 2021, attorney Daniel Staeven started to help my wife and me with a complex case in the Montgomery County District Court. The case was about squatters (previous owners) who were engaged in fraudulent acts in order to continue to reside at the property my wife and I purchased directly from the bank. If we did not have good representation, the squatters were probably going to still remain at our home. My wife and I are very thrilled for the service that Daniel Staeven provided. It was a long and bumpy road. Nonetheless, our objective was met by kicking the squatters out of our property. Thanks again, Dan.

Frequently asked questions

Read some of the commonly asked questions from other individuals and business owners that we have helped with a fresh financial start through bankruptcy, tax controversy solutions, and other options.

What is bankruptcy and how does it work?

Bankruptcy is a legal proceeding that helps a person or business who is unable to pay their debts by eliminating or reorganizing the debts. Depending on the type of bankruptcy, and the ruling of the filing, and other considerations, debtors may have an opportunity to get a clean slate when it comes to their financial obligations, or the opportunity to repay the debts in a more affordable fashion. While getting a discharge on debts may seem like a favorable escape from a financial problem, it’s important to consult with a tax professional who can help determine if bankruptcy is right for your situation.

What are the consquences of filing for bankruptcy?

Each situation is different and it depends on the goals of your bankruptcy plan, along with the assets you have and want to keep. But generally, debtors who have filed for bankruptcy may still be responsible for some tax liens, personal injury debts, as well as alimony and child support. The total effect on your credit varies from case to case.

What is the debt limit for Subchapter V bankruptcy?

To be eligible for a Subchapter V bankruptcy, the debtor must have a combined total secured and unsecured debt of less than $7,500,000, and not less than 50% of which arose from the commercial or business activities of the debtor. This debt ceiling of $7.5 million is part of a COVID-relief act that will remain in effect until June 21, 2024.
