Washington Bankruptcy and Consumer Law Attorneys Protecting Your Rights
At the Iwama Law Firm, our practice of bankruptcy goes beyond filing and meeting with creditors. Our entire practice encompasses the following:
Bankruptcy Law
While a Chapter 7 discharge, Chapter 13 reorganization or debt settlement is only the start of getting the help you need, the bankruptcy filing is an important step in relieving the stress of financial problems. The moment we submit the forms is the moment that creditors must stop calling you and mortgage lenders are forced to cease foreclosure actions in taking your home. You can start over fresh, free of credit card debt, delinquent medical bills or a second mortgage.
For the legal help you need, contact our Kent office at 253-656-4851 or toll free at 888-465-0246.
Bankruptcy Litigation
At the Iwama Law Firm, we understand that you may need help beyond the filing of bankruptcy in legal matters that require litigation, including:
- A lien or judgment against you
- Saving your home from foreclosure
- Prepetition claims involving the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA)
- Violations of the Truth in Lending Act (TILA)
- Enforcement of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA)
- Creditors violating an automatic stay to stop collection actions
- Discharge injunction violations
- Stripping (removing) second mortgages
Consumer Law
Creditors not only prey on your financial stress, but they also prey on your ignorance of the FDCPA and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Our job is to educate you on the consumer laws that govern collection agencies and pursue action when rules are violated. In addition, we stay in touch with you every year to ensure information provided to credit reporting agencies is accurate.
