Although the housing market is supposedly recovering from the real estate crises, many homeowners are still struggling to make their mortgage payments. If you are one of them, you may be trying to decide whether a short sale and/or filing for bankruptcy is the best option for you.

We consulted with a married couple who owned their homestead, 2 cars valued at $3,500.00 (both owned by the husband), and other personal property worth $10,742.74. They had exempt retirement accounts worth $6,074.72.

Collectively, our clients’ debt totaled $257,793.66, which included $82,829.32 of unsecured claims, mostly comprised of medical bills and credit card debt.

Both clients were employed. Their monthly expenses ($4,169.22) exceeded their monthly income ($3,952.04) by $217.18. We filed a joint Chapter 7 bankruptcy case.

Our clients owned non-exempt personal property worth $8,168.02 and were entitled to personal property exemptions totaling $3,000.00. As such, they were $5,168.02 over the allowable exemption limit.

Our clients were thrilled to learn that the trustee abandoned her interest in all of their non-exempt property and filed a report of no distribution. Our clients got to keep 100% of their assets and discharged 100% of their debt!

This case was a good example of disproving the myth that all debtors lose their personal property in Chapter 7 liquidations.

I had a wonderful experience with Jonathan Leiderman at LSS Law. Not only is he well experienced, but he is also very patient and supportive throughout a tough time. I appreciate that he takes such a hands-on approach where there is no going through office staff and waiting for a reply. He deals with you one-on-one, and he is your single point of contact. He takes time to answer all your questions and takes the time to ensure that you understand every aspect. He is highly communicative and does so in a timely manner.... I always got a response within minutes or hours, at the latest 24 hours. I don't know how he does it all, but I am grateful that I had him to represent me! I highly recommend Jonathan and LSS Law!

I am really greatful to attorney Jonathen Leiderman for patiently working with me through a very stressful period of ambivalence, and then towards resolution of a difficult predicament. His professionalism and empathy were exceptional. I would recomend him to all who need similar services.
