Our Mission, Our Commitment to You!
I founded the Law Office of M. Eric Barksdale P.A. with the goal of helping people free themselves from excessive debt. A fresh financial start is possible with Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy options. If you choose to file bankruptcy, I will provide personalized counsel throughout the entire process, from the free initial consultation through the final resolution of your case. My promise to you is to make the process smooth, seamless and cost effective.
What are Your Options:
The personal decision to file for bankruptcy may be difficult. Unfortunately, many unforeseen circumstances such as job loss, medical bills, foreclosure or divorce may dramatically change anyone's financial situation. Sometimes, bankruptcy is the only option, and while it is not easy you will recover and may even feel relief. Always remember, filing bankruptcy does not signify failure or make you less of a person. Life happens and we all "press on regardless." This website will provide you with a summary of both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy processes. Regardless of whether or not you file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, once a bankruptcy Petition is filed, an automatic stay is immediately in effect. The automatic stay protects your property. Creditors must stop any attempts to collect, cease harassing phone calls, stop legal proceedings including foreclosures, repossessions, and garnishments. If you are behind on your bills and are considering bankruptcy, please call today for a free initial consultation.
