Being Sued? Call Geraci Law Today!

What is a lawsuit?   It’s a bill collector asking a court for a JUDGMENT!  Why do creditors hire lawyers to get a JUDGMENT?  lawsuitBecause then they can use the Court to COLLECT!!  First they hire the sheriff to serve you with the complaint.  If you don’t have a defense, they can then get their JUDGMENT!

How do creditors COLLECT?  First, they may record the judgment with the County you live in or have property in.  Then it becomes a “lien” or “right to collect when sold”.  That means they can sell your real estate, or personal property!!!  Serious!

Next, they can ask your bank or employer to turn over your money or paycheck!  Whooops!

Geraci Law Reverses Sheriff Sale

When you’re unable to make your payments on a house, a mortgage company may get a judgment of foreclosure. Then they pay the County Sheriff, or an appointed officer, to sell it at an auction. If you failed to stop a foreclosure suit, interfacing Sheriff Sale, read this.

When you’re unable to make your payments on a house, a mortgage company may get a judgment of foreclosure.  Then they pay the County Sheriff, or an appointed officer, to sell it at an auction.  If you failed to stop a foreclosure suit, interfacing Sheriff Sale, read this.

Here are some rules about stopping foreclosure:  File chapter 13 House2

  1. Before your mortgage company files a foreclosure suit
  2. Before a foreclosure suit goes to judgment
  3. Before a judgment proceeds to a Sheriff sale

In other words call Geraci law soon as you get behind, because the longer you wait, the more the mortgage company will cost you, and the harder it is. What if your house is actually been sold at a Sheriff sale?

Before coming to Geraci Law, a single mom filed a Chapter 13 with another law firm.  That case was dismissed, and that other so-called law firm told her there was nothing she could do. She was devastated, but her aunt told her to call Geraci Law. She inherited the house from her mother with her aunt on title.

Geraci Law filed a counter attack in the State Chancery Court. Before the sheriff sale, there are several court appearances and notices that must be “serviced.” She never lived at the residence that the mortgage company claimed to have served her at.

friends huggingGeraci Law was able to prove the client was not property served with the foreclosure notice. The judge sided with Geraci Law and the sheriff sale was REVERSED. The woman called for a group hug in the court room ecstatic by the work of Geraci Law. Then, Geraci Law filed a 2nd Chapter 13 to repay the past due mortgage and force them to take her future payments.

Geraci Law – Chapter 13 Saves Medical Malpractice Case For Family

Geraci Law is the Best in the Business! This client came to Geraci Law for help with credit card debt after the death of his wife.  Luckily for him, Geraci Law lawyers are skilled in both bankruptcy and injury law.  You can’t imagine how many injury cases are lost because most lawyers have no clue!Med Malpractice gavel

Geraci Law lawyers immediately recognized that his wife’s death, after routine surgery, was not routine.  Geraci Law founding attorney Peter Francis Geraci met with him the next day.

We filed a lawsuit against the hospital and doctors, and a Chapter 13 debt repayment plan to repay the creditors without interest, and to protect his right to proceed with the medical malpractice case.  Proceeding under Chapter 7 would have resulted in the creditors being able to control settlement of the claim of his, and his children, for the death of their wife and mother.

Within a year, the hospital admitted negligence and offered to pay the family $5 million. Here is his review:

“I could not be happier to have been steered, or led to PFG, the no stress environment allowed for CH 13, to eliminate an insurmountable headache of debt, plus providing all the information I needed to move forward as I was hoping for. I would not exclude the staff at the law office; Megan, Mark, Jonathan, provided the best customer service that I have ever dealt with. Very professional, courteous, and took every bit of time I needed to ensure that I was well informed of the task at hand and the laws or legal requirements. When I titled my review as “The Best in the Business”, that is the only way to describe this team of professionals. I could not have asked for any better service, customer support, than I received. A thousand thank yous are definitely in order. For the entire team at PFG, thank you for everything that you do, have done. I have worked in many different areas, with many different organizations, and I can say, Hands Down that I have only been provided the truth, never any promises, I have only been guided in the right direction. Of course that is what I expected, a truthful, honest and professional business at PFG, Outstanding Job.”

Anything…But Bankruptcy?

Why do people waste all their money on phony debt consolidation frauds, give their pensions to pay day loans, and walk away from their houses, instead of getting bankruptcy protection?

Why don’t more people file bankruptcy?  Because they are either ill-informed, or ashamed to be in need of help? NOOOO….. They think the CURE is worse than the ILLNESS!

FMegaphone Hand, business concept with text Get Out of Debt, vector illustrationor the same reasons, some people actually kill their spouses instead of getting a divorce, or suffer and die of cancer instead of going to the doctor.  They drive their car with the red engine light on until it blows the engine.  Many people will do the opposite of what is good for them.

Bankruptcy Isn’t Personal – It’s Business

Donald Trump never filed for bankruptcy. Trump’s companies have. He utilized laws in place to protect himself and reorganize his company’s debt.

The most recent bankruptcy filing was in 2009. Trump was elected President of the United States in 2016 showing people did not care about the financial distress. He used bankruptcy as a tool to restructure for future success. When asked about bankruptcy, Trump said, “Basically I’ve used the laws of the country to my advantage and to other people’s advantage just as Leon Black has, Carl Icahn, Henry Kravis has, just as many, many others on top of the business world have.”Trump

Taj Mahal Casino Resort, the Plaza Hotel, Castle Hotel & Casino, Trump Plaza, Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts and Trump Entertainment Resorts filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The companies consolidated debt in order to pay off creditors and remain open.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/debtwire/2015/08/18/a-trip-down-donald-trumps-bankruptcy-memory-lane/#3af6b7d04609

DebtTrump realized that his businesses needed bankruptcy protection, and would not survive unless they used the bankruptcy laws to reorganize the company’s debts. If you have sufficient income, you may be able to reorganize your own household “business”, with a Chapter 13 Debt repayment plan.

Can you afford to file a Chapter 13 debt repayment plan?  Do you have at least $200 a month left over after regular expenses?  Then you may be able to mash all your debt into one payment you can afford, keep your vehicle, house and pension, and get an interest free repayment plan.

Thomas Jefferson – The President Who Needed Bankruptcy

 

Thomas Jefferson loved a lavish lifestyle. He was our 3rd President and author of the Declaration of Independence. He spent an enormous fortune constructing and furnishing his Monticello home. Jefferson served only the finest wines and a personal French chef prepared only the finest foods.

Without bankruptcy laws for relief, Jefferson attempted to create a “lottery” in which the winner would get title to monticelloJefferson’s lands (including Monticello). Ticket sales were disappointing and Jefferson died with his daughter Martha inheriting the debt.
