- Bankruptcy

Attorney James W. Amos provides experienced, straightforward and practical representation to help clients overcome difficult legal problems. He will help you look realistically at your problems and find solutions that address your current circumstances and your long-term goals. Because of the recession, a lot of people and businesses who never expected to file for bankruptcy are starting to consider it. Attorney James W. Amos has extensive experience handling:

* Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows you to have your unsecured debts completely wiped away. Because many assets are "exempt" most individuals who file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy end up keeping many of their assets. If you are experiencing debt problems, you are far from alone. You don't have to live with a debt you can't pay off. Attorney James W. Amos has years of experience helping individuals, families and small businesses file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and start back on the road to financial stability.

* Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

If you have many assets and don't want to sell them, or if your income is too high to qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, then you will likely have to file for Chapter 13. In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, all of your dischargeable debts (such as medical bills and credit card debt) are consolidated into one manageable monthly payment. You or your attorney will work with a bankruptcy trustee and with your creditors to decide on a fair payment amount. After making this payment for three to five years, your remaining debts will be discharged.

* Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Whenever a business is unable to pay all of its debts, then either the debtor can initiate a Chapter 11 bankruptcy giving the debtor time to reorganize the debtor's business by filing a Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization. In most cases, the creditors have to vote to approve a repayment plan. If no plan can get enough votes, the debtor may be able to "cram down" a plan — that is, to force the creditors to accept a plan that meets certain necessary legal requirements. Chapter 11 bankruptcy is very complex. An experienced lawyer can help you take a realistic look at your prospects and find the best way through the process. Although you may have to make some difficult choices, no legal problem is too complex to be overcome.

* Foreclosure

As each mortgage payment becomes past due, you are getting closer and closer to losing your home. While arrearages may happen as you try to get back on track, don't wait until it gets to this point and take action now. Due to the current state of the economy, many people just like you are facing home foreclosure. Instead of trying to negotiate with banks on your own, get an experienced Mississippi bankruptcy lawyer on your side. Consider filing for bankruptcy, it could be your answer. Attorney James W. Amos has years of experience helping individuals and families save their homes and stop foreclosure.

* Wage Garnishment

Once a creditor has filed a suit in court and received judgment against you, they can immediately seek to garnish your wages. They can also repossess any cars, trucks, any other motor vehicles, homes or property that you own in order to satisfy your debt. In these hard economic times, it is hard enough without having creditors eating away at your well-deserved income. You do not have to stand idle and suffer through this. There is a solution by filing for bankruptcy. For years, attorney James W. Amos has helped individuals and families stop wage garnishment and repossession by providing competent bankruptcy representation.

* Creditor Harassment

Under Federal Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) guidelines, creditors are prohibited from harassing you for payment. However, even some actions that may seem like harassment to you may be legal under the FDCPA. For example, creditors are allowed to call you at home between the hours of 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. If you are sick and tired of creditor harassment, you should know that you can stop creditor harassment by filing for bankruptcy. You don't have to put up with creditors just because you owe them money. There is a solution in bankruptcy and it starts by obtaining competent legal representation.

* Credit Card Debt

If you are tired of coming home every day and receiving statement after statement letting you know how much credit card debt you owe, consider filing for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy can eliminate credit card debt completely. Mounting credit card debt and interest rates are only hurting your credit score in the long run. An effective Mississippi bankruptcy attorney can assist you with bankruptcy proceedings and help you get a fresh start. Constantly worrying about how you are going to pay your credit card bill is no way to live. You can do something about it today.
