Debt Relief Options for Residents of Michigan

There are many factors that can affect a person's financial stability. Some financial problems develop over time, such as the use of too many high-interest credit cards or not sticking to a budget. A financial crisis can also occur unexpectedly when a person loses their job or is faced with a medical emergency. Even a divorce can bring about cash flow issues that result in unpaid bills. When you accumulate too many debts and can no longer meet your expenses, it is easy to become apathetic about the situation.

This almost always ends up making matters much worse, as creditors will step up their efforts to collect whatever money they are owed or to recover their property. Many people don't realize there are many ways to overcome a financial crunch, including debt negotiation, debt consolidation and filing for bankruptcy. If you live in Madison Heights, Royal Oak, Sterling Heights, Clinton Township, or Warren and are struggling financially, contact a Michigan bankruptcy lawyer for advice. The sooner you address your money woes, the faster you can get back on the right track.

Bankruptcy Debt Relief

My firm, Hensel Law Office, PLLC, represents clients in need of financial help. I provide individuals and families with legal advice on how to improve their financial condition and assist them in eliminating their debts. People from many different economic brackets have found that filing for bankruptcy, whether under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, is one of the most effective methods of changing their financial circumstances. Not everyone qualifies for this debt relief remedy, but those that do find that they are able to get out from under the mistakes of the past.

Once a bankruptcy petition is filed, an automatic stay will be issued that will stop:

  • Harassing phone calls, letters, and emails from creditors
  • Efforts to repossess your property
  • The garnishing of your wages
  • Home foreclosure

As a Michigan bankruptcy attorney, I offer a free consultation where all of your legal options can be explored and any questions you have regarding your finances fully answered. I provide my clients with personalized and attentive legal services and work with them directly to develop a plan that will get them out of debt.

Whether you live in Sterling Heights, Warren or another community within the state of Michigan, give us a call so we can begin assisting you!

  • Mr. Hensel walked me through every step.

    “I would highly recommend the Hensel Law Office!! Mr. Hensel walked me through every step, got my garnishments stopped very quickly (even got garnished wages returned to me!) and told me what to expect along the way. He answered all of my questions in a very timely manner- no matter what time I sent an email or gave him a phone call. Also, I felt his price was very reasonable compared to some of the other places that I called. Mr. Hensel answered plenty of questions that I had before I even became a client.”

    John and Linda

  • Sincerest thanks for all of your help in affording me what I consider a real "fresh start."

    “I wanted to give you my sincerest thanks for all of your help in affording me what I consider a real "fresh start". My divorce was unfortunate but definitely a needed change for the better. However, the financial side of things still seemed to keep that past linked, which makes this an enormous weight lifted. I just can't believe the impact it's made on my outlook with...everything.I will be sure to keep your business cards handy to distribute along with highly favorable words of recommendation should the needs arise.Thank you again for your time and professional guidance.”
