Most people file for bankruptcy because they ultimately have no other choice-they have a mountain of credit card debt, they have missed too many mortgage payments, or they are facing foreclosure. The only way to stop a foreclosure from moving forward and the only way to eliminate credit card debt is by filing for bankruptcy.
While many are concerned about the negative impact of bankruptcy on their credit score, most people who need to file for bankruptcy already have poor credit, and bankruptcy will actually give them a fresh start for rebuilding good credit. There are also positive consequences associated with filing for bankruptcy.

An offer in compromise is an option which allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full balance. The IRS will consider your circumstances, including your ability to pay, your income, your expenses, and your asset equity. They will generally approve an offer in compromise if the amount offered aligns with the maximum they can expect to collect within any reasonable amount of time.
From what I know, they are starting up again. There's not much you can do aside from trying to cut a deal with the bank or file a bankruptcy if you have to. It depends on where the process is, if they are starting fresh, it can take some time. A foreclosure sale is not something that occurs immediately.

Barry is very knowledgeable and his experience with all different matters has been a huge plus for me and my family. He takes the time to explain all options available to me and made sure I was comfortable with every decision that had to be made. His assistant Kathy is the best and truly cares about the clients.

I was having a tough time and going through a divorce and closing my business all while trying to file bankruptcy so I could start over and Barry was the best thing that ever happened to me. I couldnt recommend him more he was really a life saver and was so laid back it actually made me feel better. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars

Barry and Kathy are the BEST legal team in the area to handle any bankruptcy related cases. I filed with Barry after being served notice to appear in court for an unpaid debt and he and Kathy took care of EVERYTHING. They were quick to answer all of my questions and concerns regarding the actions being taken. I can say that when I started the process I was nervous and confused but after about 20 minutes speaking with Barry I knew I was in good hands and left the office feeling relaxed and confident about my decisions! Additionally, their fee's are extremely reasonable compared to other local attorneys

Barry Levine is a wise attorney with a relaxed attitude and a solution to every problem you may have. He’s a very commonsensical guy who feels more like your friend as well as your attorney. He helped me through a few challenging things and all went very smoothly. Highly recommended! Give his office a call.
