Immigrants to the United States face a range of challenges that are unique to them. The act of getting to the country alone can be a huge financial challenge and risk. For immigrants and for every other American, a struggling economy and a high unemployment rate can create even more difficult conditions.

It is important to know what options you have, and how you may be able to use bankruptcy laws to protect yourself and your family in the U.S. and abroad. At our office, we help clients living in the U.S. on a visa or green card to better understand how Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 can affect:

• Mortgages and foreclosures
• International assets
• Credit card debts
• Medical debts
• Credit

 

While bankruptcy can impact many parts of your life, it is important to remember that it will neither negatively affect your immigration status nor your right to become a citizen. Bankruptcy is not a mark of shame, but a lawfully protected tool to give people from all walks of life a second chance at the American Dream.

Our lawyer is proud to work throughout the diverse communities of Miami-Dade County, and at our office we provide service to clients in Spanish as well as English.
