Waukesha Bankruptcy and Debt Settlement Lawyer

Helping You Get the Fresh Start You Need

At Lanser Law Office in Waukesha, Wisconsin, we focus on the following unique areas of bankruptcy and insolvency law:

Chapter 7 bankruptcy — Your best chance at a fresh start may begin with a complete discharge of your debts.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy — If you do not qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy or cannot get the relief you need under Chapter 7, we will assist you in filing a debt reorganization and payment plan.
Debt settlements as alternative to bankruptcy — Depending on your circumstances, it may be possible to avoid bankruptcy altogether by exploring options to settle with creditors at discounted amounts or more favorable payment terms.
Bankruptcy and divorce — Divorce lawyers know to contact us when their clients are considering bankruptcy in cleaning up a financial mess prior to dissolving their marriage.

We are not a mill. We do not do high-volume bankruptcies. We understand that although the relief sought may be the same for many of our clients, we also understand that each case is different. There are different issues, needs and desires. We treat each case individually. Contact us at 262-522-2280.

Bankruptcy and the non-filing spouse — A bankruptcy filing by your spouse during the pendency of a divorce creates a series of complicated legal and practical issues that we can assist you with.
Bankruptcy for the small business owner — The filing of a bankruptcy by the owner of a small business does not necessarily mean having to close the business. We help small business owners keep their business in operation while working to resolve serious financial problems.
Bankruptcy and business termination — The choice of letting your business go in conjunction with a bankruptcy filing is a difficult, but sometimes sensible decision.
Pre-bankruptcy planning/exemption planning — If you are looking to make the maximum use of the exemption provisions to protect your assets prior to a bankruptcy filing, we will use the laws in place to help you.
Bankruptcy myths — Far too many misconceptions about bankruptcy exist and you need a seasoned and knowledgeable lawyer to clear them up.
Wage garnishment — Our firm can assist you in learning more about the wage garnishment process and how to possibly stop or prevent wage garnishment.
Creditor harassment — We provide advice and guidance to clients on how to deal with, prevent and stop creditor harassment.
The emotional toll of bankruptcy — We understand the emotions that are tied to financial strain and the threat of bankruptcy. Our firm strives to help clients deal with the emotions as well as the practical aspects of bankruptcy in order to help them move forward.
