At the Law Offices of David Brodman, we have handled over 5,000 bankruptcy cases in the past 20+ years, and we would be glad to use our knowledge and experience to help you too.

We understand how powerful debt can be, and how it can create a great deal of stress, worry, and anxiety for the debtor and their family. If debt collectors are calling you, and if you are receiving collection letters in the mail, you may find incredible relief through the automatic stay in bankruptcy.

What Is the Automatic Stay?

The automatic stay is an injunction (judicial order) that automatically stops lawsuits, foreclosures, wage garnishments, and all debt collection activities against a debtor the moment the bankruptcy is filed.

The automatic stay is vital for debtors, especially if they are at risk of eviction, foreclosure, losing resources such as utility services, wage garnishments, or being found in contempt for not paying their child support.

The automatic stay in itself provides a very powerful reason for debtors to file for bankruptcy protection.

What the Automatic Stay Can Do

The automatic stay is a highly favored feature of bankruptcy, and it goes into effect whether a debtor files a Chapter 7 or a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

An automatic stay cannot prevent IRS audits, nor can it stop the collection of child support or alimony.
