In Louisiana real estate foreclosures are conducted by the local sheriff. Under most circumstances, the filing of a bankruptcy, either chapter 7 or chapter 13, will stop the state court foreclosure proceeding. The case must be filed before the auction actually takes place. The New Orleans bankruptcy attorneys at Kirkpatrick and Associates, on a regular basis, stop Sheriff sales for clients living in New Orleans, Jefferson Parish, St. Tammany Parish, Washington Parish, Terrebonne Parish, St. James Parish, St. John the Baptist Parish, Assumption Parish, and Lafourche Parish.

Many people assume that once a garnishment has started, there is nothing they can do to stop it. Using bankruptcy law (chapter 13 and chapter 7), we can stop just about any type of garnishment, except current domestic support obligations. We recently met with a young lady from Gretna, Louisiana whose, paycheck had been garnished by a credit card collection agency for the last three months.
