Your Consumer Bankruptcy and Debt Relief Law Firm

It’s not every day that you hear someone say that bankruptcy has been the foundation of their career. Typically, people try to do everything they can to avoid bankruptcy. Bankruptcy attorney Stephen Burton was exposed to the world of bankruptcy in law school. As a clerk for a bankruptcy law firm, I learned what a powerful tool bankruptcy could be and how it could be used to help people who are facing financial ruin.

As an accomplished attorney, Stephen Burton has taught at the National Business Institute, attends conferences and seminars, and meets with other attorneys to discuss the best practices. If you live near Encino, CA, or Sherman Oaks, CA, and need expert legal assistance for bankruptcy, tax resolution, or debt settlement/resettlement, contact the Burton Law Offices to schedule your initial consultation.

Bankruptcy

California Bankruptcy Lawyer On Your Side

As a bankruptcy law firm, Burton Law Offices specializes in the following types of bankruptcy.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: If individuals or businesses meet the requirements of a means test they may file for bankruptcy under Experienced Chapter 7. This type of relief would wipe out most of your debts. However, to achieve that you will be required to sell some or all of your assets to repay creditors. In California, your property is exempt from liquidation.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy: Under the supervision of a court-appointed trustee and the approval of a creditors’ committee, you may file Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. This type of bankruptcy allows you to reorganize your debts. For small businesses, there is a simplified version of the process.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Chapter 13 bankruptcy is for individuals who don’t qualify for or prefer not to use Chapter 7. In this form of bankruptcy, an individual restructures their debts through a court-sanctioned repayment plan. Typically, this takes three to five years to be resolved.

If you live near Encino, CA, or Sherman Oaks, CA, and are considering filing for bankruptcy, contact the Burton Law Offices to schedule your initial consultation. Using a lawyer to file bankruptcy can be the difference between you minimizing your losses or never recovering from your debts.

Tax resolution

California Tax Resolution Attorney Dedicated to Protecting Your Well-Being

Encino CA, and Oak, CA tax collection agencies are well-known for being aggressive towards taxpayers. The system is not designed to be accommodating to you. Working with a tax resolution attorney from Burton Law Offices will help you put you on a level playing field with the collection agencies.

The collection process can be swift, harsh, and inconsistent as it applies to different taxpayers. Businesses that have a strong balance sheet and are capable of generating strong cash flows can have difficulty negotiating resolutions with the state. The federal statutes of limitation for collection activity expire after 10 years. In California, collection activity can last up to 30 years.

How Will A Tax Resolution Attorney Handle My Case?

The first step is to have an initial strategy meeting. In this session, we will identify your goals, how to achieve them, and what it is going to take. As a tax resolution attorney, my goal is to make sure that you only have to use my services once.

More Information

California does not provide a comprehensive tax resolution path and it can be difficult to navigate without expert-level help. If you live near Encino, CA, or Sherman Oaks, CA, and need assistance resolving your taxes, contact the Burton Law Offices to schedule your initial consultation.

Debt resolution/settlement

A Debt Resolution Lawyer Can Ease The Burden Of Your High Number of Bills

The increased financial strain and stress that comes with increasing costs, bills, and debts can be overwhelming. Unsure what your options are? Instead of filing for bankruptcy, debt settlement may be your best option.

A common tactic to resolve income back taxes is to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. When you do this, you can discharge all of your income taxes more than three years old. The tax liens can be lowered by using your pensions or retirement savings as a benchmark. This would allow you to enter into a more manageable repayment plan and have a smaller tax burden.
