Andresen was very respectful and professional. His employees were very knowledgeable and helpful. I always got an answer when I called the office with a question. Mr. Andresen helped me through a tough time and I really felt that he had my best interest in mind and worked very hard to help me through my case.
To get started solving your financial problems, whether you are considering bankruptcy or you are facing a mortgage foreclosure, the first step is to call our office at (952) 831-1995 to schedule a free consultation. You will be meeting with Craig Andresen, an attorney with 30 years of experience in helping people deal with overwhelming debt.
In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, all your debts are wiped out by court order, except some taxes, some student loans, and alimony or child support. There are some other exceptions to discharge which we can tell you about. You also have to keep paying on your home mortgage or car loan if you want to keep these items.
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a repayment plan lasting three to five years, depending on your income level. You pay off your debts in full or in part, based on your ability to pay. At the end of the case, all the balances on your debts are discharged, even if they have been only been partially paid off, except your mortgage, student loans, child support, and some other exceptions we can tell you about.
If your home mortgage is being foreclosed because you're behind on payments, you can stop the foreclosure and get time to catch up by filing a Chapter 13 plan. This is one of the main purposes Congress had in mind when it enacted Chapter 13 - giving homeowners a chance to keep their homes while requiring your lender to wait while you catch up on payments you've missed.

Called here and spoke with Erica at Andresen Law offices she took down my information and two specific questions that I would like to speak to a lawyer about. She confirmed the information and was extremely efficient.
Craig called me later that tonight to inquire about my questions and discuss some options. He gave me a forward price and discussed the specific law regarding redemption rights in the MN statute I had inquired about. He was polite, up front, and authentically working with me to help in my situation.
His information clarified my questions and would highly recommend working with him

I am an engineer late in my career often told that I was the best ever worked with. As a result, I was fortunate enough to work alongside some considered best in the world at their specialties, resulting in a sense of mutual respect and appreciation. When working with Craig, I again sensed a familiar, rare package of talent and experience, fast and articulate; that I believe should rank him in the country’s top 10 with yet another accolade as a “Super Lawyer”.
Craig understood and effortlessly solved the complexity of the big bank’s strategy to undermine my case

Craig has clear command of the expertise needed to practice bankruptcy law in the Twin Cities. He has the relationships that we needed for a successful outcome with our case. We had a few complicated issues that he sorted out exactly how he explained. It was a comfort knowing that he had experience in navigating the issues. I highly recommend Craig and his team.

Craig and his staff provided us with the peace of mind we needed to make a decision we felt secure about. He presented us with options and encouraged us to ask all the questions we wanted, no matter how trivial they seemed. Thanks to Craig and his staff, the stress, frustration, anxiety and fear was lessened to the greatest degree. His office makes themselves readily available and never make you feel as if you are in any way intrusive or bothersome. It"s a frightful time going through a bankruptcy but with Craig and his staff in your corner, you will have nothing left to fear.

Mr. Andresen was very professional and helpful. I couldn't believe how fast he gave us the paperwork. He explained everything and listened to questions. He determined what solution best fit our needs by looking at all the documentation we provided. His staff was very attentive. If I had a question or problem, they were right on it. I felt like the most important person from the moment I first walked into his office. We were directed every step of the way. We were told exactly where to be and when and the proceedings went very smoothly because of all the preparation he had done. I never had a doubt

Mr. Andresen is one of the most understanding attorneys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Speaking to an attorney is a very intimidating experience. I had no idea where to turn and after looking at various law offices and their services, I decided to call Andresen Law Offices. I received a phone call from Craig Andresen before the end of the day. Mr. Andresen asked me questions and even showed me areas that I had not fully thought through. He accomplished his interview without belittling or condescending. He truly cared about our situation and showed his concern with concise logical steps
