Chapter 7 Bankruptcy | Bankruptcy Attorney

Chapter7BankruptcyChapter 7 Bankruptcy is a complex area of law and involves many considerations, including: whether to file, determining which type of Bankruptcy to file, the use of exemptions, understanding the protections of the Bankruptcy Code and using them to your advantage.

 

Bankruptcy advantages and alternatives to consider:

Elimination of Debt: The main advantage to filing for bankruptcy is the discharge of most debt. The discharge totally eliminates the obligation to pay many types of debt including your credit card debt, old medical bills, utilities bills, unsecured loans, pay day loans, and most other types of unsecured debt. ***Note: Certain types of debt cannot be avoided by filing for bankruptcy including Student Loans, Child Support and Alimony Payments, Court Fines, DUI judgments against the debtor, and debts incurred by Fraud.

Avoid Creditor Harassment: Once a debtor files for bankruptcy, there is an automatic stay on the collection of debt and most creditors must terminate their collection efforts immediately. The stay is an automatic court order that prohibits all sorts of collection attempts by creditors, and postpones most actions against the debtor, including repossessions, garnishments or attachments, utility shutoffs, foreclosures, and evictions.

Get a Fresh Start: You will be able to pay the things that are important to you, and begin rebuilding your credit in peace!

Alternatives to Consider: Bankruptcy is not the only method of dealing with insurmountable debt, and other methods may be more advantageous for your particular situation. Such alternatives may include an out-of-court settlement with creditors, reduction of payments to creditors, consolidation of debts, or payment of debts by sale of assets or borrowing on assets. However, the availability of these methods varies depending on the severity of your financial difficulties, and also requires cooperation from creditors.

If you are having trouble meeting your debt obligations, consult an experienced Tampa Bankruptcy attorney to discuss your options.

Hiring Personal Injury Attorney | Personal Injury | Tampa Law Firm

When searching for a personal injury lawyer to represent your injury claim there are several qualities that you should consider.

Law Firm Reputation | Experience
When seeking legal representation it is important to search a Firm’s credentials and credibility; and determine their specialization in the particular area of legal need you are seeking. Whether one year or 50, you can find out how long an attorney has been admitted to practice law in the state of Florida, and see what particular areas of law they have practiced in throughout their career.

Attorney, Michael C. Blickensderfer is licensed to practice law in Florida, New York, and New Jersey, being admitted in New York and New Jersey in 1986 and Florida in 1987. Mr. Blickensderfer has been serving the legal profession for over 25 years and currently runs a Christian-based law practice in Tampa, Florida.

Medical Treatment | Insurance Protection | Coverage
Personal injury lawyers are able to assist you in dealing with insurance companies following an accident. Many times an insurance company will try to contact an injured party to settle their injury claim quickly, for a nominal amount, and without the protection of their attorney. In most cases the severity of damages sustained in an accident are not easily determined, and an injured party may suffer soft tissue or latent injuries that do not arise until much later.

Seeking a personal injury lawyer to assist you in your accident claim will protect your legal rights to receive compensation for medical bills, loss wages, and pain and suffering that you are entitled to receive through your insurance carrier.

Negotiation
A competent personal injury attorney helps to negotiate your claim against the at-fault driver, and will litigate the case if necessary.  Additionally, an attorney will continue to negotiate with medical facilities to reduce the cost of remaining medical bills; and attempt to ensure optimal recovery and compensation for you and your loved ones.

In the event an insurance company contacts you regarding your injury claim, do not offer any recorded statements without first consulting with an attorney.

If you or a loved one have been in a car crash or motorcycle accident and need legal advice, call Blick Law Firm today at (813) 931-0840. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation with attorney Michael Blickensderfer.

Personal Injury Attorney | Attorney Fees | Tampa Law Firm

Personal Injury Claims are typically handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning the attorney fees are paid out at the end of a settlement. In other words no fees to the attorney, unless your case prevails. In Florida, standard attorney contingency fee is 33.33% of the recovery.

A personal injury matter may be more complex and require litigation. In this instance, a lawsuit is filed and the case goes before the court and will ultimately be determined by a jury. The fee associated with cases that reach litigation is higher due to the complexity of legal services. In the state of Florida, the appropriate attorney fee in this instance is 40% of the recovery.
