The law provides relief for individuals and businesses seeking protection from their creditors. The various forms of bankruptcy allow debtors to eliminate or restructure their debts and move forward. At The Schwartz Law Firm, our Las Vegas bankruptcy attorneys handle most types of bankruptcy filings on behalf of clients who are facing excessive debt, foreclosure, garnishment of wages or the failure of a small business.
Our lawyers make sure that clients fully understand their options in bankruptcy. We outline all the bankruptcy court’s requirements and determine which type of bankruptcy filing will best meet your needs. Our bankruptcy lawyers and staff are approachable and helpful. We know that filing bankruptcy may be a source of discomfort; clients should know that we provide them with the help they need to take advantage of the law, obtain relief from debt, avoid foreclosure and move forward with their lives.
This type of consumer bankruptcy liquidates most debts, allowing the debtor to make a fresh start. It is often called “liquidation.”
This type of bankruptcy allows debtors to reorganize their debts, helping them develop a payment plan for three or five years that repays some or all of the debt. This type of bankruptcy is sometimes known as a “payment plan” bankruptcy.
This type of bankruptcy is intended to help businesses reorganize. It may be initiated by the business owner or by creditors seeking payment. It is also known as “reorganization” and may apply to some individuals with a large amount of debt.
We work with clients to be sure they understand the bankruptcy choices that are available to them under Nevada and federal law. We educate them about the benefits and disadvantages of each type of filing so that clients know what to expect.

"Since the first day we met you, you have taken the pressure from us and guided us through this whole foreign process. Sam and Brian are wonderful and I think that trickles down into the rest of the office staff. I cannot say enough about your law firm and the people in it!!! You were right about everything. Brian was so on it yesterday. I was saying a little prayer the whole time but he is wonderful as well and reassured us everything was going to be ok. He just guided us along, so we knew what to expect."

"Schwartz Law firm did an incredible job of handling the sale of our home. They handled our biggest fear of managing the negotiation with the big bank, and simplified what could have been a frightening process for our family. Without their help, I do not believe we would have been able to negotiate the sale of our house in this economic environment. No one should try a workout directly with a bank without their help."
