Achieving Debt Relief Through Bankruptcy

If you are struggling with overwhelming credit card debt, medical bills, mortgage payments or other financial obligations like tax debt or student loans, bankruptcy can provide a means to discharge that debt and reset your financial life.

Bankruptcy is the best solution in many instances, but not all. At the The Law Office of Geoffrey A. Planer in Gastonia, North Carolina, we avoid the one-size-fits-all mindset, opting instead to review each situation closely before recommending the best steps to take.

Attorney Geoffrey Planer has represented individuals and businesses in bankruptcy cases and related matters since 1974. As a past member of the Chapter 7 panel trustees, he is well-versed in how to prepare petitions that proceed smoothly through the bankruptcy process. He shares his experience not only with clients but also among his peers where he is a frequent lecturer at seminars on bankruptcy issues to other attorneys.

Because our firm also works extensively with clients in family law, we are familiar with the interplay of bankruptcy law and divorce, including child support, spousal maintenance, foreclosure and other collections cases that are handled in state courts. We will guide you through these processes and protect your rights.
