We educate and advise clients regarding a number of bankruptcy discharge issues. Clients often want to know if certain obligations can be discharged, including
- Tax arrearages
- Student loans
- Child support and alimony payments
- DUI fines
- Fraud and embezzlement repayments
- Other fines and fees associated with criminal charges
First, we help clients understand the types of obligations that may not be discharged through the bankruptcy process. These types of debts include obligations that may never be discharged as well as debts that are generally dischargeable, unless your creditor files a timely objection and the court grants the exception from discharge.
In limited situations, the court, the bankruptcy trustee or creditors may determine that the debtor is concealing assets or has misrepresented the nature of his or her financial well-being. In such situations, the court may prohibit the discharge of a specific debt or the discharge of all of the debtor's obligations.
We work closely with each client to identify dischargeability issues up front, so that the client makes informed decisions at every stage of the process.
For experienced and effective representation in all matters involving the dischargeability of debts in bankruptcy, contact the offices of Denise Brown, Attorney at Law. We offer a free initial consultation. Evening and weekend appointments are available upon request.
