Bankruptcy Practice

We offer a comprehensive selection of quality bankruptcy and debt-related legal services, including counsel and representation in matters that involve:

• Chapter 7 bankruptcy for individuals and businesses; also known as a liquidation bankruptcy or straight bankruptcy; may allow debtors to discharge eligible debt, protect assets from creditors and accomplish other important goals.
• Chapter 13 bankruptcy for individuals, which provides the opportunity to reorganize debt, while avoiding foreclosure and other creditor actions. Chapter 13 is a viable debt relief option for people who make a steady income, but who are also struggling to keep up with debt payments.
• Chapter 11 bankruptcy for businesses and, in some cases, for individuals as well; provides the opportunity to reorganize debt, restructure companies and repay creditors over time while still retaining control of the business and its assets, subject to oversight.
• Debt collection remedies, including residential and commercial property foreclosure actions, car or equipment repossession, wage garnishments, judgment liens and levies

Tax Issues Related to Debt Relief

Rather than file for bankruptcy protection, many individuals have turned to debt settlement services to negotiate unsecured debts down to pennies on the dollar. If you have a debt or a portion of a debt forgiven through a settlement, however, the amount of the reduction is generally considered taxable income, which may negate all of the advantages of choosing debt negotiation.

At Bowler Dixon & Twitchell LLP, we can help you make the right choice, based on your situation and our experience with this area of the law. Our staff includes a CPA as well as an attorney with a Master of Laws degree (LL.M.) in taxation. In practical terms, this means that we understand the interplay between tax law and debt relief law, which translates into helping you obtain a meaningful fresh start.
