You may need to file a bankruptcy to get a fresh start. Bankruptcy can help you to get rid of those old debts you can no longer afford to pay. Once you file a bankruptcy, your creditors will not be able to contact you or take or continue any collection action, like a garnishment. If you have the ability to pay off your debts, except your mortgage, in 3 to 5 years, you should do that.
However, if you are being garnished, you may want to file a bankruptcy and pay your creditors back under the protection of the bankruptcy court. You may not need to file a bankruptcy at this time. If you make less than $300 a week before any deductions, your creditors cannot garnish your wages. They can, however, garnish or seize any money that you have in a bank or credit union.

Edrie Pfeiffer is an incredibly knowledgeable lawyer. She assisted me with Chapter 7 bankruptcy. She was prompt, informative, and personable during the process, which was streamlined by her explicit schedule for filing. Vanessa was my paralegal, who most of my questions were filtered through. She was excellent at finding the right answers for me in a timely manner. The entire process was fairly simple, and I’m very satisfied with the service and price. If you’re looking for a great lawyer, Edrie is the one you’re looking for.

HRLS is AMAZING!!! I highly recommend them. I went to another attorney about 2 years ago and they tried to take my money for services that they said were rendered. After proving they weren't I finally received my money back. Since then I was very nervous about finding another lawyer. When I fist spoke with HRLS and had my initial consultation I was sure they were perfect. And I was right! Their staff is compassionate and knowledgeable. From the beginning I was treated with the up most respect. I was always able to get through when calling. They also have the greatest communication!! They worked

I met with attorney Sebastiana and she was literally AMAZING! I had met with 2 attorneys from different offices prior too and I was still very uncomfortable. By the time I got done with Sebastiana I felt so much at ease and was ready to proceed. She was very patient, thorough and answered every question I had in DETAIL!. She sat and listened to every concern I had and let me talk as well. After answering every question, she would ask "Do you have any other questions". The office staff is very friendly and they have amazing cookies. I was very pleased with this office and I am confident that they

I decided to hire Hampton Roads Legal Services because of the great online reviews and because I felt like they were the right fit for me. My biggest concern when deciding to file was whether or not HRLS would be able to help me with my bills situation and allow me to get my life back again. My comfort level was excellent in my first consultation! Attorney Bradstreet made me feel right at home and I felt like I could trust her. She had the knowledge and expertise and was able to answer all my questions for me. HRLS treated me like I was the only client they had, and they made me feel like I mattered

I chose Hampton Roads Legal Services based on the great online reviews! I saw many satisfied customers as well as the quality of the online website. I had general concerns about the bankruptcy process like; can I file? How will it affect my life? Can I recover from this? I was given the roadmap to success by Attorney Pfeiffer and her team and everything was explained to me! Initially, I was really nervous but everyone in the office made me feel welcome and put my mind at ease. My favorite thing about HRLS was how quickly they responded to any questions or issues I had come up during my case.

We had a great experience with Hampton Roads Legal. They helped to make an awkward and typically unpleasant situation feel just the opposite. The staff that we worked with was friendly, open, and very helpful. If I knew someone else that was faced with bankruptcy, I would definitely give a positive recommendation. Thank you!
