I have practiced in bankruptcy for more than 25 years. In fact, I am certified as a specialist in bankruptcy law. But it's not only my credentials that clients appreciate. It's the compassion and personal attention I provide during a dark and anxious time in their life. I enjoy helping ordinary people who are struggling financially to get a fresh start.
I strive to give your case the personal and professional attention it deserves. When you hire an attorney, you should be able to speak with the attorney experienced in bankruptcy cases. As an attorney, I have been practicing bankruptcy law since 1993. I am certified as a specialist in Consumer Bankruptcy Law by the North Carolina State Bar.
Perhaps a recent health crisis or job layoff put you deep in debt. Or perhaps you slowly got farther and farther behind to the point where you can't dig yourself out. Now bill collectors are harassing you and you are threatened with foreclosure or other creditor actions. Whatever led to your financial struggles, Lapas Law Offices can help you explore bankruptcy relief to get a fresh financial start.
Often in bankruptcy cases, there may be claims that you can assert against your creditors. It is possible that you can even recover money damages from your creditors in your bankruptcy case. I am one of the very few bankruptcy attorneys in this state to pursue cases such as Truth in Lending claims, usury claims, and other claims that are often found in bankruptcy cases.
Bankruptcy has its own jargon so it may be helpful to familiarize yourself with some of the words you may hear over the course of your bankruptcy case. Adversary proceeding: this is a lawsuit filed within your bankruptcy case. There can be any number of reasons for filing a lawsuit but we most often use adversary proceedings to pursue your rights under the Bankruptcy Code and other consumer protection statutes.

Mr. Adrian Lapas represented me for a case involving a private student loan. I was well pleased with the outcome of that case. Mr. Lapas is very professional. He is always thoroughly prepared. In court, Mr. Lapas is confident, composed, and a great public speaker. Before and after hearings, he took the time to explain everything in a way that makes sense for people who are not well-versed in legal jargon. He made sure I knew what to expect at each step of the process. He would discuss possible outcomes and our plan for each scenario. Legal issues are always stressful due to the cost you may incur
