http://www.RomeBankruptcy.com has come to the Web to deliver helpful information to persons facing a financial crisis. The site, owned by the Georgia law firm of Berry & Associates, provides information on debt relief through Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
We wanted the Web site to reach out to people who might be suffering through a financial crisis alone, said Matt Berry, senior partner at Berry & Associates. LeadRival has done a wonderful job creating a site that is informative and easy to navigate. We hope that it provides the people in Rome with information that will help them in their struggle.
Visitors to the site who would like to have more information, can complete a bankruptcy evaluation form and will be contacted by the firm for a free consultation to discuss their case.
They can review the bankruptcy exemptions available to Georgia residents and see what property they can keep when filing for bankruptcy protection.
Access to information is key to getting help to people who need it, said Kye Duncan, SEO Manager of LeadRival. We are proud to have helped Berry & Associates create this site for the people of Rome. It is a great resource for bankruptcy information.

“Although the economy is supposed to be picking up, thousands of good, hard-working people in our area are still suffering from the havoc wreaked by the recession,” says Christopher Lee, owner of the new firm. “They have lost jobs, accumulated unexpected medical bills or other expenses they can’t pay in a timely manner. For these folks, filing bankruptcy is an effective – and sometimes the only – way to get financial relief.”
Lee, who has successfully handled thousands Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases as partner in Allmand & Lee, the largest bankruptcy law firm in Texas that he had helped establish in 2007, says his new practice will provide “a big firm expertise and professionalism with the flexibility and affordability of a small firm.”
Lee, who specializes in mortgage loan modification work, says the Lee Law Firm, which employs three other bankruptcy attorneys, will work with local consumers to help them eliminate debt, lower their monthly payments, as well as stop foreclosures, repossessions, garnishments, and calls from creditors.
“A lot of people hesitate to seek help because of the myths and misconceptions surrounding bankruptcy,” Lee notes. “However, I and my attorneys are here to show them that, if handled properly and according to law, bankruptcy will give them an opportunity to rebuild their credit and provide a measurable relief from debt.”
WILMINGTON, Delaware (Reuters) – Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc (JTHX.PK) expects quick approval of its bankruptcy plan, which would turn over the second-largest U.S. tax preparer to lenders led by Bayside Capital, the company's attorney said on Wednesday.
The company filed for bankruptcy on Tuesday just weeks after the end of the tax season as a way to restructure a bank loan coming due in October. It said it hoped to restructure in 60 days or less.
Jackson Hewitt got into trouble with lenders as it failed to secure full funding for tax-refund loans, a key covenant in its credit agreement.
Jackson Hewitt already has...

Beginning on June 1, 2010, new HAMP rule changes will now make it possible to seek mortgage modification while in an active bankruptcy case. Under existing U.S. Treasury rules, mortgage lenders are not required to consider modifications under the federal government's Making Home Affordable Program (HAMP) while a homeowner is in an active bankruptcy case; however, these rules are about to change and they will prevent lenders from saying no to mortgage modification during bankruptcy cases.
This will make it much easier for homeowners to seek modification of their mortgages and save their home while adjusting and discharging other debts in a single proceeding. The rules also allow use of the schedules filed in the bankruptcy case to be used as the modification application and other streamlined procedures that will make it easier to communicate with lenders. It also gives the homeowner the added protection of a Court Order approving loan modifications to prevent future mortgage problems caused by the mortgage company.
In the Orlando Division of the Middle District of Florida, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court has also launched a Mortgage Mediation Program to bring mortgage lenders to the negotiation table and offers sanctions against mortgage lenders who refuse to participate. In most cases, the trial period may be waived by making mortgage payments through a Chapter 13 Trustee.
