One of the most experienced bankruptcy lawyers in Massachusetts by number of cases filed - over 1,600. I had called a couple other attorney offices and they made it seem like they were doing me a favor to even talk with me. Then I talked with Michael and I couldn't believe how accommodating he was.
Many people who are not familiar with bankruptcy do not know that Chapter 13 exists. A Chapter 13 is different than a Chapter 7, where you are essentially released of all your debts but will not get to keep any of your assets. In a Chapter 13, you keep your home and vehicle and will have 5 years (with interest stopped) to pay back what is owed on your mortgage and car loan.
Chapter 7 is often what many people think of when they think of bankruptcy. Chapter 7 gives you a clean slate. It does not protect your home from foreclosure, so if that is a concern for you, then you will want to file a Chapter 13. Chapter 7 bankruptcies are also less expensive to file. It will last longer on your credit report than a Chapter 13, but nothing is worse for your credit than continuing to miss payments for years!

One would be hard-pressed to find a better attorney in Massachusetts other than Michael VanDam. So if you are seeking a dynamic attorney and a paramount litigator I suggest that you contact the Van Dam Law Firm in Newton Mass. Michael is my real estate attorney and I could not have asked for a better adjudication of my case.
