Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

Drakeley PLLC is a tax and bankruptcy law firm based in Seattle Washington.

Owing taxes can be a huge stress; when you are financially strapped, cannot pay the taxes you owe the IRS and have mounting credit card debt, it's natural to want to throw in the towel. Should you file bankruptcy, or should you hire a reputable Seattle tax attorney who specializes in bankruptcy and related issues for guidance?

When you are saddled with tax debt you may feel that you have no other options but to pay what you owe and move forward, but you cannot pay your debt because you don't have the money. Do you avoid the phone calls and throw the notices in the trash? A skilled Seattle bankruptcy lawyer will advise you never to do this; facing the music is the best thing you can possibly do. However, this does not mean that you necessarily have to pay every dime you owe to the IRS. Attorneys who are experienced in tax and legal services can review your particular situation with you and offer the guidance you need to find relief from what seems insurmountable debt.

Should you decide that maybe bankruptcy is the answer to your problem, should you file chapter 7 or chapter 13? What is the difference, and which would work best to your advantage? When it comes to bankruptcy, owing the IRS and other important issues, it's never good to depend on guesswork. You need a professional who deals with these issues day in and day out, every day of the year.

Due to current economic issues more people are facing overwhelming debt today than ever before. Creditors may ring your phone without ceasing; you may receive intimidating or even threatening notices in the mail. You fear that your bank account may be levied, or that your paycheck may be garnished. When you live from paycheck to paycheck and feel that there is no way out, it is to your benefit to speak with a reputable Seattle bankruptcy attorney. There are answers to your problems, and you do not have to live with the stress and fear every day of your life.

Perhaps your biggest problem is that you owe back taxes to the IRS or haven't filed returns in years. Now you are facing an audit, and fear you may be put behind bars. These are real fears that real people face every day. Keep in mind that by ignoring the issue, the problem will not go away. A compassionate Seattle IRS tax attorney is your best friend in tough times. Whether you need assistance with tax preparation, planning or eliminating the problems that are keeping you awake at night, seek the guidance of a skilled lawyer.

Practice Areas Description

At Drakeley PLLC, we offer bankruptcy and tax solutions to the greater Seattle/Tacoma area. We handle a number of services including:

- Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

The filing of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy will stop garnishments and civil lawsuits and, in most cases, discharge the debts underlying these proceedings. The length of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case is typically 3-4 months from filing the petition to the final discharge of debts.

- Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

The primary goal of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is to consolidate your debts and set up a manageable monthly payment plan. Chapter 13 is often referred to as "Debt Consolidation", or a "Wage Earners Plan."

- IRS Problems

Are you having problems with the IRS? We're here to help you resolve your tax problems and put an end to the misery that the IRS can put you through. We pride ourselves on being very efficient, affordable, and of course, extremely discrete. The IRS problems will not just go away by themselves; they just keep getting worse with penalties and interest being added each day.

- Saving my Retirement and using my Retirement to Buy Real Estate

Using your IRA/401K as a funding source to buy Real Estate, whether alone or with others, to participate in commercial development projects, to buy deeds of trust, discounted notes, buy a new or existing business can be an exciting new direction to take instead of following the same old path of mutual funds. Using your own funds or joining with others adds significant advantages over debt type financing. Because retirement funds can be structured as an investment into the business or real estate, there are no corresponding debts that can increase overhead.
