Bankruptcy Attorney in Winston-Salem, NC

Financial struggles can overwhelm anyone, but you don't have to face them alone

Lefkowitz Law Firm in Winston-Salem, NC, is here to guide you through one of the most difficult financial challenges you may encounter: filing for bankruptcy. Whether you are an individual or a small business owner, we understand the impact debt can have on your quality of life. Our goal is to provide thoughtful, knowledgeable legal representation and to help you confidently navigate the complexities of bankruptcy law.

Bankruptcy is often misunderstood and, unfortunately, stigmatized. At Lefkowitz Law Firm, we want to change that perception by empowering you with information and tailored strategies. Bankruptcy is not a failure—it’s a legal tool designed to help you reset your financial life and start fresh. Our compassionate team is committed to protecting your rights, minimizing your stress, and addressing your specific needs, so you can focus on building a stronger financial future.

What We Offer

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: If you are struggling with unsecured debts like credit card balances or medical bills, Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be the best option. We’ll work to ensure eligible debts are discharged, allowing you to achieve financial relief quickly.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: For those who have a steady income but need help restructuring their debt, Chapter 13 offers a manageable repayment plan. We’ll help negotiate terms with creditors so you can pay down debts in a way that fits your financial capabilities.

Business Bankruptcy: If your company is facing financial hardship, our attorneys can guide you through Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 bankruptcy to either wind down operations or reorganize and continue business operations.

Debt Relief Counseling: Before pursuing bankruptcy, we help you explore all available debt-relief options, which may include debt consolidation, negotiation, or other alternatives.

Foreclosure Defense: We’ll help protect your home by stopping or delaying foreclosure proceedings through the bankruptcy process or other legal strategies.

Our Process

At Lefkowitz Law Firm, we understand the importance of clear communication and thorough preparation when it comes to bankruptcy cases. Our process is designed to simplify this complex legal procedure, making it accessible and effective for you.

Initial Consultation: Our work together begins with a comprehensive review of your financial situation. We’ll examine your income, debts, assets, and financial goals to determine the most appropriate course of action. Whether bankruptcy is the best solution or an alternative form of debt relief is more appropriate, we’ll lay out your options in detail.
Filing for Bankruptcy: Once a decision is made to move forward with bankruptcy, we’ll ensure all required documentation is completed and filed accurately. Bankruptcy requires careful attention to detail, and our team is experienced in managing the paperwork needed to avoid delays or complications. Throughout this stage, we’ll keep you updated and informed.
Negotiations and Creditors’ Meetings: In both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases, there may be meetings with creditors or negotiations required. We’ll represent you in these proceedings, advocating for your best interests and working to resolve issues that may arise. Our goal is to minimize stress and achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
Implementation and Discharge: As part of the bankruptcy process, there will be clear steps to implement a repayment plan (for Chapter 13) or liquidation of non-exempt assets (for Chapter 7). When the bankruptcy is finalized, eligible debts will be discharged, allowing you to make a fresh start. We’ll discuss post-bankruptcy steps to help you rebuild credit and move forward confidently.

We work diligently to ensure this process goes as smoothly as possible, emphasizing transparency, communication, and efficiency every step of the way.
