Metro Detroit Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Lawyer With Extensive Tax Knowledge
If you have IRS or Michigan state tax debt that you cannot pay, delinquent tax returns, other serious tax concerns, overwhelming credit card debts, burdensome medical bills, foreclosures, judgments, loss of income, which may all lead to harassing collection calls or notices, you should consider options for relieving the pressure, regaining financial stability, and acquiring a fresh start.
Contrary to popular belief, many tax debts are dischargeable through bankruptcy provided they meet certain requirements. Filing bankruptcy in order to obtain relief from other debts can enable you to come back into compliance with the IRS and state taxing authority, and further avoid negative consequences such as wage garnishment, or liens and levies on your property. Filing bankruptcy in certain situations can even prevent criminal prosecution.
If you owe income, business or other taxes, if your debts are mounting, and you are considering bankruptcy, it is imperative to consult an experienced tax attorney. Our firm is uniquely positioned with experience in both bankruptcy and tax law, to evaluate your overall financial situation and help you make the best possible decision for your financial future. At the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Freeman, based in Birmingham, we will provide you with a professional team trained and experienced both in taxation and bankruptcy law. Contact us now.

- Determine how much, if any, of your tax liability may be dischargeable through bankruptcy
- Negotiate on your behalf payment plans with creditors other than the IRS or state taxing authorities
