Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Bankruptcy

At the Law Offices of Sari K. Kurland, I focus 100 percent on helping individuals, families and businesses recover from the overwhelming burden of debt. I am committed to providing the highest levels of service and communication. You won't find my firm to be "just another" bankruptcy firm. You get personalized client service, attention to detail and an honest commitment to helping you transform your financial future.


- Chapter 7

Sometimes, the only way to eliminate a serious financial problem is to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case. Chapter 7 may be the best option for eliminating your credit card debt and other consumer loans. Most important, it may also help you keep the house and car that your family needs.


- Chapter 11

Although Chapter 11 bankruptcy is often thought of as an option for large corporations, it is also available for individuals and families that have accumulated significant personal debt. It may be an excellent option for high net-worth executives and professionals who have suddenly lost their income and are concerned about foreclosure of their homes or personal business assets.


- Chapter 13

Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to restructure your debt obligations and can help you avoid thousands of dollars in interest and penalty fees. In addition, Chapter 13 allows you to incorporate all of your debt into a supervised repayment plan, including your student loans, tax obligations and government debt. Many people who don't qualify for Chapter 7 find that Chapter 13 is their best option for easing the financial burden of excessive monthly payments.


- Stop Wage Garnishment

Are creditors and collection agencies threatening to garnish your wages or repossess your car? Don't panic. I can help you stop wage garnishment and repossession. Fortunately, your constitutional rights and state laws protect you. Although the bill collectors don't want you to know it, wage garnishment and repossession is an expensive legal process that takes time. The truth is, they really don't want to jump through the necessary legal hoops to claim your wages and they certainly don't want their car back. You have time and the law on your side.


- Foreclosure

Millions of people have struggled with the same issues that your family may be experiencing right now. After years of paying your mortgage on time, you are suddenly facing foreclosure. More than 200 years ago, our nation's founders recognized that good, hardworking people face occasional setbacks. Bankruptcy laws were enacted to ensure that Americans would always get a second chance.


- Tax Arrears

Many people don't know that some types of tax arrears owed to the state or federal government may often be included in Chapter 7, Chapter 11 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. If you owe taxes as part of your excessive debt burden, talk to me about what options for debt relief may be available.


- Loan Modifications

For more than two decades, the Law Offices of Sari K. Kurland, LLC, has helped clients secure bankruptcy protection. There are times, however, when a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 filing is not the best option, especially in an environment where a large faction of the populace struggles to make ends meet. That struggle often includes the threat of foreclosure on their property.


- Residence Loan Modification

Maryland homeowners facing financial hardships can rely on the Law Offices of Sari K. Kurland, LLC, for help. Options may seem limited when house payments are late or a notice of foreclosure is served. The job of Sari K. Kurland is to identify the needs of financially struggling clients and provide customized strategies to save their primary residence.


- Modifications for Second Mortgages

Second mortgages can provide welcome debt relief for homeowners who have built up equity. Over time, financial problems may worsen, making that "help" more of a hindrance. Help is available for homeowners to modify loans. What about those holding second mortgages that have become a burden?


- Investment Property Loan

While loan modification programs have focused on and required a primary residence, more consideration is being given to investment properties. Vacation homes and rental duplexes are becoming a larger part of the foreclosure problem. In recognition of that growing trend, the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternative (HAFA) program is now considering modifications for investment properties.


- Short Sale

As homeowners struggle to make mortgage payments on houses or investment property losing their value, short sales are becoming a common option to foreclosure. The Law Offices of Sari K. Kurland, LLC, provides much-needed relief for financially strapped Maryland residents looking for a resolution short of damaging their credit rating.


- Primary Residence Short Sales

A short sale is anything but a simple process. The opportunity to resolve mortgage debt for less than what is owed requires the help of an experienced attorney. With the help of a lawyer skilled in finding solutions for Maryland residents overwhelmed by their debt load, they have the chance to end the foreclosure process and get the peace of mind denied them for so long.


- Short Sales for Second Mortgages

While second mortgages can provide financial relief for homeowners with equity in their property, the loan can become an unmanageable burden if financial problems arise. An inability to pay the primary mortgage is only made worse with the knowledge that the second mortgage is reaching delinquent status.


- Investment Property Short Sales

Investments can reap great rewards, but with these rewards comes risk. Putting hard-earned money into investment property and hoping for a payoff may not work out as planned. Mortgages increase while property value decreases. Suddenly, cash flow is in the negative and the investor is facing dire consequences for late or delinquent payments.


- Asset Protection

Many so-called "asset protection experts" claim that they can shield what their clients hold most valuable. Yet when those claims fall short, assets and income are lost. At the Law Offices of Sari K. Kurland, LLC, our founder is an experienced bankruptcy attorney who has succeeded in protecting her clients' valuable property. She brings a thorough legal knowledge and creative and effective asset protection strategies.


- Investment Property Protection

Financial problems are not exclusive to poor or middle-class Maryland residents. Those who enjoy higher incomes and other forms of wealth can find themselves in dire financial situations. A job loss, medical crisis or divorce has turned a lucrative lifestyle into anguish over aggressive collection actions.


- Small-Business

Debt problems related to a business should not adversely affect the personal assets of the owner or his or her immediate family. At the Law Offices of Sari K. Kurland, LLC, founder Sari Kurland has helped Maryland residents get control of out-of-control debts. She is proactive and combines effective asset protection strategies with a "big picture" approach.


- Marital Asset Protection

Individual or business-related financial problems should not impact ownership of valuable marital assets. Careful and proactive steps, however, must be taken to protect possessions of great value. At her Rockville-based law firm, founder Sari Kurland has spent the past two decades working with Maryland residents in shielding marital assets from aggressive collection actions.
