Do not let embarrassment prevent you from getting the help you need…
 …if you are having trouble paying your debts. Contact the Telpner Peterson Law Firm to discuss your situation with a bankruptcy lawyer who is on your side. Our bankruptcy attorneys are skilled at covering a wide spectrum of debt relief options for both consumers and businesses—from individual financial counseling and negotiating settlements with creditors to very complex commercial bankruptcies.

Even under the new laws filing for bankruptcy can still stop creditor harassment, collections actions, and wage garnishment. In most situations you will still be able to keep your house and car.

Accomplished Iowa Bankruptcy Attorneys
We take the time to assess your overall financial situation and present all of your options. If bankruptcy is appropriate, we will help you consider:

  • Chapter 7 “Straight” Bankruptcy: With Chapter 7 “liquidation” bankruptcy, we can help many individuals who are facing large medical or credit card bills get a fresh start and discharge many debts. We also help businesses who need to completely liquidate their assets. Our attorneys will explain the applicable exemption laws and help you retain as many assets as possible.
  • Chapter 11 and Business Reorganization Bankruptcy: We represent business clients in Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings.
  • Chapter 13 Consumer Debt Repayment Plan: Our personal bankruptcy attorneys will guide you in filing for a wage earner bankruptcy that allows you to make regular, affordable payments to pay off all or a portion of your debts.
  • Chapter 12 Farm Bankruptcy: In farm bankruptcy proceedings, our lawyers are skilled in debtor-creditor negotiation and farm mediation.

The principal bankruptcy attorneys at the Telpner Peterson Law Firm are Charles L. Smith and Nicole Engelhardt. Skilled at negotiation, we are also bankruptcy litigators who are able to represent both individual debtors and creditors. We advise in debt settlement workouts and handle foreclosure and repossession work.

We strive to bring you friendly, professional, and compassionate legal representation. Contact us and let us know how we can help you.

We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code.

This disclosure is required by rule of the Supreme Court of Iowa. We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code. Memberships and offices in legal fraternities and legal societies, technical and professional licenses, and memberships in scientific, technical and professional associations and societies of law or field of practice does not mean that a lawyer is a specialist or expert in a field of law, nor does it mean that such lawyer is necessarily any more expert or competent than any other lawyer. All potential clients are urged to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any lawyer being considered. This notice is required by rule of the Supreme Court of Iowa.
