Bankruptcy

Any client who is facing financial trouble or a foreclosure can benefit from speaking to us. If you are being sued, being garnished, facing a foreclosure or struggling to recover after a period of unemployment, we can provide legal tools to help you. If creditors are calling or being abusive or disrespectful they may be violating the law. We file chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcy and we file lawsuits against abusive creditors.

If you are disabled, or if you are the parent of a disabled child or responsible for the care of a disabled adult, we offer legal services to help you.

I recently completed a 26-hour seminar on the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I will attend a 20-hour seminar on bankruptcy in April 2011. I completed more than 30 hours of classes related to bankruptcy in both 2009 and 2010. I am always looking to learn more about how to help my clients with foreclosure, bankruptcy and debt relief.

[Bankruptcy] I stopped a wage garnishment by filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy for a divorced mother whose ex-husband's business had failed. She wrote after the case was complete that it had been a pleasure to work with me.

I used Chapter 13 to reduce the amount owed on a car loan to help a young family get back on their feet. They had been unemployed for over a year and came to me after finding new jobs. I helped them keep their cars, writing a payment plan that cut their interest rate, reduced the principal balance and allowed them to catch up on the amount owed.

In addition to the usual disability law, we also provide expertise in Special Education law, representing parents of disabled children.

Our firm is based on the desire to provide quality legal representation to individuals and families. Nelson Wegner LLP was created in June 2009. Monica Wegner and I started this firm to provide legal services for individuals and families. The firm offers bankruptcy services, lawsuits against harassing or abusive creditors, and assistance with foreclosures. We also offer disability rights, social security, elder law and special education law.

Before law school, I held a variety of student jobs, but devoted most of my time and attention to graduate studies. I also taught as a lecturer at Santa Clara University in their religious studies department.

During law school I continued to teach. I also held internships at the State Court of Appeal in San Francisco and with the Pro Bono Project of Indiana.

After law school I worked on large law suits for corporate clients. After three years of legal practice, I opened Nelson Wegner, so I could work for individuals and families. I work to help the people hit hardest by the financial crisis.

I am happy to talk to any group that wants to learn more about bankruptcy or the housing and foreclosure crisis.

We always charge a flat rate for a bankruptcy and the rate is agreed to before a contract is signed. To file a law suit that is not a bankruptcy, we either agree to a contingency fee or an hourly fee billed against a retainer depending on the case. If you mention this listing with Nolo, we will lower your flat bankruptcy fee by $150 dollars.

Varies depending on the type of case. We take some cases on contingency.

We offer a free initial consult of up to an hour. We take the time to understand your case and advise you of your options.

No, it varies depending on the complexity of the case.
