September 18, 2008

Last night I attended an attorney program at the local bar association which was titled “Depressed real estate, distressed clients.” The topics included bankruptcy issues, foreclosure situations, and mortgage negotiation alternatives. The speakers included a Supreme Court Judge, a bank representative, a law firm that represents banks, a law firm that represents individuals, a bankruptcy trustee, and a short sale attorney.

I’ve never seen so many attorneys attend any other program at the bar association. Rather than rushing out at the end of the program, the majority of attorneys stuck around to ask the panel questions. That's quite a sign... There are a lot of people in financial trouble right now.

I spoke with several attorneys, and a common theme I heard was that the people that find themselves in financial trouble do not understand the various alternatives in resolving the problems. While getting into financial trouble is very easy, getting out of trouble often requires some legal savvy, which is not easy without the appropriate guidance.

According to all recent newspaper headlines, the bad news is the economy. However, the good news is that there ARE many alternative solutions to financial problems that MOST individuals are not even aware about. Often one small and simple technique, negotiation, or legal solution is all it takes to turn around a very bad situation. Over the past few months, I have helped dozens of individuals, couples, and families to deal with some very serious financial situations. The kind of assistance has varied widely:

• Chapter 7 bankruptcies (which can ENTIRELY eliminate all credit card and/or medical debts.)

• Chapter 13 bankruptcies (which can FORCE a lender to accept a payment plan for past due mortgage payments.)

• Negotiations with lenders to re-arrange debt terms to make monthly payments more affordable.

• Negotiations with the IRS and/or New York State tax authorities to resolve tax debt.

• Credit fraud situations.

• Identity theft situations.

• Credit repair assistance.

• Assisting sellers in selling their home via a “short sale” (the lender takes less money on a sale and does not hold the seller responsible for the balance.

Given the economy, the odds are very likely that you know of several individuals that might benefit from some confidential legal guidance in the above areas. If so, then I ask that you pass on my contact information.
