How Cindy Lawson & Associates P.C. Can Help

We help good people through bad times.

Stop Foreclosure

Knoxville is a city that can be scary for homeowners who are behind on their mortgage payments and facing foreclosure. It’s not usually the uncertainty of what to do, but it brings up anxiety in people because they don’t know where to turn when faced with this situation. Luckily there are options available!

Stop Creditor Harassment

Filing for bankruptcy can remove the stress of constant phone calls, texts and letters from debt collectors. Do not let them take over your life with continual hounding on payments! With Chapter 7 bankruptcy you will have that burden lifted off your shoulders.

Stop Wage Garnishment

Wage garnishment is a serious situation that can make life difficult for even the most financially stable. It works by taking part of your earnings every week, making it hard to save up money or pay off debts in an emergency. However, with proper planning and budgeting you may be able to get back on track through bankruptcy as well!

Medical Debt

Medical debt is a common issue that many people face in their lives, from the moment they are born until death. It can be frustrating to deal with and often leads to bankruptcy filings for those who have no other way out of their spiraling finances. Bankruptcy affords relief by quickly eliminating medical debts as well as any associated harassing phone calls or threats of lawsuits which leave you feeling helpless against creditors.
