BANKRUPTCY– Ben Sissman, Attorney at Law has extensive experience representing individuals in bankruptcy proceedings under federal law. From his office in Memphis, TN, he provides quality legal services in this area of practice to clients throughout western Tennessee, in both state and federal courts. The bankruptcy laws are designed to protect either insolvent individuals or failing companies that might need some time to restructure themselves and get back on their feet again, or ones that simply want to be discharged of their debt. Throughout the duration of the bankruptcy proceeding, the debtor’s assets are supervised by the courts and cannot be reached by the creditor. Under Chapter 7 of the federal Bankruptcy Code (sometimes referred to as “straight” bankruptcy), the debtors may be required to give up some of their property in exchange for having their debts cancelled. Chapter 13 (“Repayment”) allows debtors to file a repayment plan with the court and enjoy its protection while they reimburse their creditors.

Attorney Ben Sissman has worked in the area of consumer bankruptcy for many years and knows how to obtain the most protection for his clients. He has unparalleled expertise helping clients solve the financial problems that pushed them to file for bankruptcy protection in the first place. The federal bankruptcy laws recognize the fact that people sometimes make mistakes with their finances and deserve a second chance. As your lawyer, he can negotiate the terms of that second chance with the courts or with your creditors until an acceptable solution is achieved.
