Bankruptcy Law

Tuscaloosa Bankruptcy Law Firm

Serving Tuscaloosa County & Beyond for 25+ Years

I am Attorney Marshall A. Entelisano, and I lead a team devoted to helping those struggling with debt find relief through bankruptcy. While the stigma around it may make it seem like something to feel shameful about—or even afraid of—bankruptcy could allow you to achieve financial freedom, even while keeping assets like your home or car. Not to mention, filing can protect you from creditor harassment and actions like foreclosures, utility shut-offs, and wage garnishments

Since 2000, I have guided over 14,000 clients through Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. My unparalleled experience allows me to help people overcome seemingly insurmountable legal challenges and navigate bankruptcy seamlessly. Additionally, I have the know-how to assist clients in securing other forms of relief from debt and illegal creditor actions. 

Are you tired of being weighed down by credit card debt, missed loan payments, or medical bills? Are you facing foreclosure, repossession, or lawsuits from creditors? Contact The Law Firm of Marshall A. Entelisano to explore bankruptcy and how it could benefit you. My firm’s services are highly affordable, and payment plans are available.

Why Hire a Bankruptcy Attorney? 

Although filing for bankruptcy without an attorney is possible, having a legal professional by your side can significantly increase your chances of success and safeguard you from rights violations. I possess a wealth of legal experience and an in-depth understanding of bankruptcy law that I can leverage in your case. 

On your behalf, I can:

  • Determine whether bankruptcy is your best option by reviewing your income, debts, assets, and expenses. If there is a better option, count on me to recommend alternatives and help you pursue them. 
  • Explain complex bankruptcy laws in ways that are easy to understand. Knowledge is power, so I will strive to equip you with the information to make informed decisions about your financial future. 
  • Prepare and file all legal documents correctly and on time according to local bankruptcy court rules and procedures. On your own, you could easily make mistakes in filing that result in case dismissal or serious complications. 
  • Protect assets and maximize exemptions. People's biggest fear of bankruptcy is often the loss of property. I can strategically plan your case to safeguard as much property, assets, and cash as possible. 
  • Represent you in court. You do not have to go through bankruptcy hearings or negotiations alone. I am here to be your advocate and work to secure a case outcome that allows you to live debt-free. 
  • Rectify violations of your rights by creditors and others. In cases of illegal collection tactics, harassment, or other abuses by creditors, I can fight to hold the perpetrators accountable.
  • Advise on the long-term effects of bankruptcy, such as credit score implications and income restrictions, as well as how best to rebuild financially after filing.

How Bankruptcy Protects You from Creditors 

One of the biggest advantages of filing for bankruptcy is protection from creditors. Once you have filed, all creditor actions against you must cease, including:

  • Harassment - Any contact from your creditors must stop, such as phone calls, emails, letters, and personal visits.
  • Wage garnishments - Filing for bankruptcy can end garnishments on your wages.
  • Foreclosures - If you are facing foreclosure on your home or other property, filing for bankruptcy puts an automatic stay on the proceedings.
  • Utility shut-offs - Bankruptcy protects you from having your utilities shut off due to non-payment.
  • IRS levies - Filing can prevent the IRS from taking your property or wages to satisfy tax debts.
  • Lawsuits - Lawsuits and judgments against you for unpaid debts will be halted once you file for bankruptcy.
