EXPERIENCE
“When I do a Chapter 13 analysis, I aim to give you instant gratification. I put all your information – your house, your car, all these things – into a spreadsheet. I calculate your plan payment while we speak on the phone or within minutes. So, not only have I done a consultation, but I’ve also given you immediate insight into your bankruptcy plan. You may pay as low as one penny on the dollar for your unsecured debt. Even if you owe $500,000, you could pay as little as $100 a month split among your general unsecured creditors.”
– Scott Needleman, Attorney
