Stop Lawsuits and Levies Attorney in East Tennessee
You may already be a party to lawsuits, and you may have wage garnishments or levies in place. A federal bankruptcy filing can help you immediately stop all legal action, including garnishments and levies. You need an experienced lawyer to guide you through the process — one who knows the law and procedure inside and out and one who will ensure that creditors do not take advantage of you.
At the office of C. Edwin Shoemaker, Attorney at Law, I have more than 25 years of experience handling bankruptcy issues. A former bankruptcy law clerk and Chapter 7 trustee, I know the law, the process, and the system. I have successfully guarded the rights of hundreds of individuals and businesses in bankruptcy matters.
Protecting You From Garnishments, Levies and Lawsuits
By federal law when you file for bankruptcy protection an automatic stay immediately goes into effect. The automatic stay prohibits your creditors from taking any action outside of the bankruptcy to attempt to collect a debt. In short, they can't call you, write you or take any legal action against you. This stops in their tracks all legal proceedings, including levies, garnishments and collections lawsuits. Any action by a third party — such as a collection agency — must also stop immediately.
At the office of C. Edwin Shoemaker, Attorney at Law, I provide comprehensive counsel to individuals and businesses in bankruptcy proceedings. I will advise you regarding all attempts to collect on any debt you owe, once you have filed a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition. Don't let your creditors intimidate you or fool you into believing that they can proceed with legal action. Once you hire me and file for protection, I will be your watchdog, acting as your advocate with creditors.
