Family Law

• Child Support
  Bankruptcy can help wipe the slate clean and pave the way for you to restore your finances. Unfortunately, bankruptcy cannot discharge all debt. If you have overdue child support payments, student loans, or back taxes, bankruptcy will not be effective in providing debt relief. Therefore, you should first examine the type of debt you have before you proceed with the process.
• Spousal Support
  The automatic stay will not stop criminal proceedings or actions for child support or spousal support. Our firm's attorneys can provide you with more information about the automatic stay and how it applies to your personal situation.

Criminal Law

• DUI/DWI
• Identity Theft
  Part of protecting your credit involves consistently monitoring it to protect yourself from fraud, identity theft, and other data breaches that could potentially affect your credit.

• Limited Liability Companies
  Step one in protecting your assets is to use LLCs, or limited liability companies. The statutes governing these types of companies include certain provisions that keep creditors from taking the company’s internal assets or the company itself. In most jurisdictions, the exclusive solution is a charging order – this states that creditors have the right to distributions paid out of an LLC.

• Wills
  Creating your will and estate plan may seem like something in the distant future, but planning ahead and taking care of your estate early can better secure your family and loved ones. Careful, thorough estate planning can take time, as it involves quite a few big, important decisions that should be considered without any sort of pressure or rush. Having an estate plan will not only ensure that your wishes be filled out after your passing, but it will make the process much easier and more guided for the loved ones you leave behind.
• Power of Attorney
  Power of Attorney: Power of attorney allows you to appoint a trusted person, usually a spouse or family member, with the authority to make financial decisions for you in the event that you are unable to do so. They can, for example, pay your bills and handle your finances while you are in a coma, severely ill, etc.. Medical power of attorney, or healthcare proxy, acts similarly to appoint someone with the authority to make your medical decisions.

Finance Law

• Bankruptcy
  For some reason, most people assume that heavy debt is something you just have to live with once you accrue it. It is our mission here at Avery Law – Idaho’s largest bankruptcy law firm – to show people the truth: debt can be undone. Using a variety of legal tools, you may be able to find debt relief in less time than you expect.
• Foreclosure
  If you’ve struggled for months or years with ever-increasing debt, you likely have been unable to build savings, invest in new opportunities, or live the life you feel you deserve. With today’s terribly high interest rates, making a dent in what you owe can feel next to impossible. If your situation is particularly dire, you may soon experience consequences such as foreclosure, repossession, garnishment or lawsuit.
• Debt Collection
  Consumers who have experienced financial setbacks and problems with debt are often subjected to a number of debt collection activities. In recent years, debt collection has become a profitable business and numerous creditors and lenders actually sell delinquent debts to third party agencies that do whatever they can to make their money. As a result, consumers have been forced to endure a great deal of unfair, deceptive and abusive conduct at the hands of third party debt collection agencies. If you are currently facing debt collection harassment, bankruptcy, as well as several consumer protection acts, can protect your right to fair treatment.
