Helping Clients Settle Debts with the IRS for 35+ Years

One of the most widespread myths about bankruptcy is that it cannot address any type of tax debt. In fact, people who are burdened with substantial, past-due debts to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the state of Texas or both should absolutely speak with a knowledgeable Houston bankruptcy lawyer about their overall financial situations and potential solutions.

Those powers extend to wage garnishment, tax levies on bank accounts and property seizures, but it may be possible for you to get protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Such actions can often be stopped or prevented through a timely, well-prepared Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing.
