Shaw Law Ltd. also works with homeowners who need legal advice about their options for resolving mortgage defaults and the threat of foreclosure. We can let you know whether a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing will make a positive difference in your situation, and we can also advise you about your nonbankruptcy, mortgage-workout options.
