Call 856-777-5877 for a free initial consultation.
A Financial Problem Can Start Small
Many people don’t wake up one morning with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.
Financial trouble can build gradually.
A credit card may be used to cover an unexpected expense. Another bill gets pushed back. A medical balance remains unpaid. The minimum payments increase. Eventually, there isn’t enough money left each month to cover everything.
At that point, simply trying to pay a little to everyone may no longer be enough.
Clayman Law helps Riverside residents step back and look at the entire situation so they can understand what legal options may be available.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Riverside
Chapter 7 bankruptcy may help qualifying individuals eliminate certain unsecured debts.
Depending on the circumstances, eligible debts can include credit card balances, medical bills, personal loans and other unsecured obligations.
There are eligibility requirements and important issues involving property and assets, so filing bankruptcy should not be treated as a simple way to erase bills.
An attorney can review your circumstances and explain what Chapter 7 would mean for you before you decide whether to file.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy and Catching Up on Debt
Chapter 13 provides another possible path for people who have regular income but need time to address their debts.
A Chapter 13 repayment plan can be particularly important for homeowners who have fallen behind on their mortgage. Depending on the circumstances, it may allow a homeowner to address past-due payments while working toward keeping the property.
It can also be relevant when someone is behind on a vehicle loan or has other secured debts that need to be addressed.
Foreclosure Help for Riverside Homeowners
Riverside Township is a Burlington County community along the Rancocas Creek and close to the Delaware River. The township’s official website notes its location between the Route 130 corridor and the Rancocas Creek and its access to the NJ Transit River Line.
For homeowners here, a mortgage problem can become especially stressful when it is combined with other household debt.
If you have received foreclosure papers, don’t assume that the only choices are to sell your home or let the foreclosure continue.
Clayman Law can review the foreclosure case and explain whether bankruptcy, lender negotiations, repayment options or another legal strategy may be appropriate.
What If Creditors Are Calling Every Day?
Collection calls can become exhausting.
You may already know that you owe money, but repeated calls and letters don’t make the underlying financial problem easier to solve.
If you’re dealing with collection agencies, creditor lawsuits or persistent collection activity, Clayman Law can help you understand what protections and legal options may be available.

Wage Garnishment Can Make an Impossible Budget Even Harder
When a creditor is taking part of your paycheck, there is less money available for everything else.
That can make it nearly impossible to catch up on the bills that remain.
Clayman Law assists New Jersey residents with wage garnishments and bank account levies. If your wages are being garnished or money has been frozen in your bank account, you can learn more about the process on our page about stopping wage garnishment and bank account levies.
Worried About Losing Your Car?
A vehicle repossession can create a serious problem for someone who needs a car to get to work or take care of family responsibilities.
If you’re behind on your auto loan, receiving collection notices or worried that your vehicle could be repossessed, it may be worth speaking with an attorney before the situation gets worse.
Clayman Law can explain how bankruptcy and other legal options may affect your situation.
You May Have Options Other Than Bankruptcy
One of the biggest misconceptions about contacting a bankruptcy attorney is that the conversation automatically leads to a bankruptcy filing.
It doesn’t.
Clayman Law works with people who are trying to figure out what to do about their debt. In some situations, creditor negotiations or another debt-relief strategy may be appropriate. In others, Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 may provide the legal protection needed to move forward.
The first step is getting an honest assessment of the situation.
