BANKRUPTCY
You should be aware of a few differences between Chapters 7, 11, and 13. Bankruptcy is a process in which individuals or businesses declare themselves “no longer able” to make payments on outstanding debts that they owe. The process of bankruptcy prohibits collection agencies and creditors from contacting you regarding your debts, and this process also releases you from certain types of debts. The difference between filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy are your income level, your current debts, and your financial goals and assets. Individuals who fall below a certain level of income can file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, while those who don’t can instead file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is designed to help those who make little to no money at all, to pay back their debts. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is designed for debtors who are able to pay back a portion of their debts, through a repayment plan. That means that if you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you will have your assets liquidated, if any. While if you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you retain and restructure your assets to pay off some of your debt. Call HLF at 1-202-234-2727 or fill out HLF’s FREE CONSULTATION form.

CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS
The single purpose of a class action litigation or lawsuit is to give the average person a chance to take on some of the biggest private companies and corporations in the world; giving the individual person a chance to address any wrongs done by any of these major entities. You should not attempt to handle this sort of case on your own, without the help of an experienced attorney. The process can be overwhelming and extremely frustrating, but class action lawsuits give the average person the opportunity to hold these companies accountable, by grouping together hundreds or sometimes even thousands of people, within one lawsuit. This gives the legal case a higher level of credibility, and demands that the defendant pay attention. For some victims involved in class action litigation or lawsuits, this is the only meaningful way for them to address fraud, widespread discrimination, or other similar legal violations. You can look at cases of class action lawsuits against major car companies and major tobacco companies, in the past, and understand how class action litigation can help.

CONTRACT LAW
A contract is a legally enforceable agreement between two parties. Each party within a contract promises to perform a certain duty or service, or pay a certain amount of money to someone. If one party member or group fails to act as promised, and the other party has fulfilled their own duties under the contract, the wronged party is then entitled to legal aide for a breach of contract. A breach of contract is a failure to fulfill the services or monies promised within the contract terms. A contract can be breached in the following ways: One party does not perform a duty or service as they promisedOne party breaches a “fundamental term” of the contractOne party does something that makes it impossible for the other party to perform their own services under the contractOne party makes it clear that they do not intend to perform the contract services, thereby permitting the other party to engage in an anticipatory breach Both written and oral contracts are legally enforceable. It is best practice to write down the terms of any contract agreement, in case some dispute between the parties should arise, after agreeing to a contract. If the contract is an oral agreement, the parties of the contract might later remember different details about the contract terms, or forget certain terms altogether, which will make it more difficult to prove the validity of the contract.
