When clients come in to see either myself or Attorney Ravenscroft, they are always struggling to regain control of their debts. Their lives have become complicated; one problem is usually accompanied by many others. Our firm’s mission is to help you resolve the problems in your life so that you can live a happy, financially healthy life.
That said, our firm is by no means a one-stop-shop. We maintain a narrow focus on helping clients take advantage of the consumer protections provided for in bankruptcy law.
If bankruptcy is not the appropriate solution for your particular problems, we’ll tell you. If bankruptcy can help you with some of your problems but not others, we’ll tell you. Either way, if we can’t solve all of the financial problems in your lives, we’ll help you find someone (or perhaps several people) who can.
Need help refinancing your home? We can help you find a mortgage broker.
Require assistance with a tax debt? We can put you in touch with a CPA and/or a tax attorney.
Unhappy with your bank or broker? We can introduce you to another.
Need help with your divorce? We can refer you to a divorce specialist.
Want to move? We can help you find a real estate broker.
That said, I want to make it perfectly clear: WE DO NOT ACCEPT REFERRAL FEES from the professionals we recommend. We only want to refer you to professionals who we would consider using ourselves. Your interests come first. We only ask that you recommend us to anyone you know who is struggling or unable to pay their bills.
If you are interested in regaining control of your financial life, contact the Law Office of George H. Weber, LLC at (203) 653-5133 to schedule your free initial consultation.
Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection without health insurance is risky. While medical debt incurred prior to filing for bankruptcy is dischargeable, medical debt incurred after the bankruptcy petition is filed is not. Put another way, if you get sick after you file for bankruptcy, the resulting medical bill is not included in the bankruptcy. If you have health insurance, you’re probably covered. That’s important. Otherwise, you may be going down.
Why is getting sick after bankruptcy so dangerous? Because the bankruptcy option is not available to save you if you are unable to pay the bill. Law forbids a person who receives the benefit of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharge from filing another Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition for 8 years. During these 8 years, debt collectors and creditors are free to make your life miserable. While some laws do protect debtors from extreme harassment from debt collectors, medical debt collectors and medical debt creditors have adequate tools at their disposal to make you wish you could pay up.
Remember, maintaining health insurance for yourself and your family is a top priority. If you do not currently have health insurance and are having trouble paying your bills, we may be able to help you. Options are available. Call (203) 653-5133 today for your free consultation.
