For over 20 years, I've helped thousands of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania residents to get a fresh start in the areas of Bankruptcy law, IRS tax help, and Social Security Disability. My clients are now experiencing life without the stress and worry from the IRS or from overdue bills, debt collectors, collections lawsuits, auto repossessions and home foreclosures.
My Chapter 7 bankruptcy clients have gotten relief from credit cards and repossessions, and my Chapter 13 bankruptcy clients have saved their homes from mortgage foreclosure. I help people to resolve their problems with the IRS and to prepare their unfiled tax returns and negotiate the best strategy for their IRS tax debts.

Services
You're sitting there wondering how it came to this. You've worked hard at building up your career and finding the right job, but now there are creditors or the IRS sending you bills and notices. It's all mail you don't want to open. Or phone calls you don't want to answer. Maybe five years ago, things were going fine, but slowly, gradually, you started to fall behind.
1 Bankruptcy, both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 and Chapter 11, in order to obtain a financial fresh start and to protect property and particularly homes from mortgage foreclosure. 2 IRS tax problem resolution. We help people with IRS tax debts, either by assisting clients with installment agreements or by proposing Offers in Compromise in which we can reduce the overall amount of tax debt.
3 to improve your credit rating. Most people are surprised to find out that bankruptcy can actually improve their credit scores. I have helped countless people to improve their credit ratings by filing for bankruptcy. The reason is that bankruptcy will discharge (wipe out) the types of debts that may currently be reported as late payments to the credit bureaus.
My office handles IRS tax problem resolution cases. If you are receiving threatening letters or notices from the IRS, are having your wages garnished, are experiencing a bank levy or the IRS has filed a lien against you or you owe payroll taxes, then my law office can help you! You have built your life and your company.
The first type is Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which is a good way to simply get rid of debts, such as credit cards, personal loans, repossessions, medical bills, payday loans, etc. Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases usually take 4 to 5 months from start to finish, and generally require one short court meeting/hearing before a bankruptcy official known as a Trustee.

I just had the most wonderful phone consultation with Shawn Wright!! Even though I had called to make an in-person appointment for some tax advice, Shawn was willing to answer my questions over the phone and gave me great advice and peace of mind. I know if I need help in the future, the Law Office of Shawn N. Wright will be my first call! Thank you, Shawn! xo

Shawn has fixed some legal matters for me in a nearly painless but highly professional manner. He treated me like an equal with the utmost respect and he sincerely cared about my legal needs. Working with him was very comfortable, like dealing with a family member. I highly recommend him. I wouldn't think to go anywhere else but back to him for any future needs. You will not regret using him.

We were fortunate to get the recommendation for Shawn Wright from another
attorney who felt Shawn could better handle our needs.
We phoned Tuesday with hopes of getting a Thursday appointment since we
had plans to be in North Hills that day, and live 45 minutes away.
Shawn’s secretary said he was with a client and would contact us as soon as possible.
He returned our call almost immediately and accommodated us with a time that
didn’t conflict with our other business. Come Thursday we arrived early, Shawn greeted us at the door, and we began.
All of the above was a huge convenience, but

Shawn is an absolute brilliant attorney. He worked with me on a very difficult and lengthy case for over two years with complete patience and dedication. The lines of communication were always open for any questions or concerns. He had my total confidence which made everything much less stressful. If any problems arose they were usually handled prior to my having knowledge of them. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience and the quality of legal services that I was provided.

Shawn was very helpful and knowledgeable. I had very different and specific needs that he handled and worked diligently on. Communication was very good, he didn't make us wait forever to answers any questions we had, we didn't feel like a number in a rotation which was highly important to us. We had interviewed other attorneys who did not know how to quite "handle" our situation but Shawn knew the very first meeting. We we're very pleased with his work and his unparalleled customer service. Thanks Shawn!

I have been working with Melissa Reed in this law office regarding my application for Social Security disability. My particular case involved my lifelong affliction with the effects of childhood polio I contracted as a 3 month old baby. Immediately upon being assigned as my Advocate, Ms Reed sent me information concerning how Social Security views polio cases specifically. As time went on in the process, and my life savings and family loans ran out, she contacted me with Mr Shawn Wright to discuss my concerns as I was contemplating filing for bankruptcy. He provided me with very informative help
