• Bankruptcy
  Chris was born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin. After a detour through Macalester College, a small liberal arts school In St. Paul, he returned to Madison to attend UW-Madison Law School in 2008. He moved to Milwaukee in 2011 to begin practicing bankruptcy law. Chris took a shine to this area of law in large part due to the personal nature of the practice; working with people to help solve real and significant problems in their lives is a constant reminder of why the work is important. Chris finds that the most satisfying part of the work is saving clients’ vehicle or home, or giving them a second chance by getting rid of crushing credit card or medical debt. These victories drive his bankruptcy practice, and remind him that bankruptcy is important in improving clients’ day-to-day lives and is essential in providing an important mechanism for helping society at large.
• Foreclosure
  If a bank, credit union or Mortgage Company obtains a foreclosure judgment against you, your home or other property can be sold at sheriff’s sale. Don’t let this happen! KEEP YOUR HOME! Chapter 13 was created to help save your property, top foreclosures, re-instate mortgages and cure payment arrearages. Chapter 13 is extremely flexible and allows an individual to consolidate all of their debts and then provide a plan of arrangement in which some debts, like mortgage arrears, car loans or tax obligations are paid back through the plan at a modified interest rate, while unsecured obligations such as utilities, credit cards, medical bills, payday loans, or other unsecured obligations will be forced by the court to provide deep discounts. Navigating a course through the waters of bankruptcy, can be fairly complex. At ESSERLAW LLC our experienced attorneys will work with you to fully evaluate your situation, including debt and income, and determine if Chapter 13 is your best option.
