Consumer & Business Bankruptcy

Fresh Starts, Clean Slates, and Getting Back on Your Feet

Sometimes, things do not work out as we had hoped. Life has a way of dealing you blows, often when you least expect it or can least deal with it. This is where Julianne Franks’ 40 years of experience with the bankruptcy system can come in handy. If you, your home or your business is experiencing financial distress, call Julianne Frank Law. Jupiter bankruptcy attorney Julianne Frank has spent decades helping consumers, businesses, farmers and fishermen find the right solution to their specific challenges and needs. Sometimes that solution involves a bankruptcy filing, but sometimes an answer to your debt pressures does not involve invoking the B-word. We’ll help you understand all your options and implement the strategies and solutions that are right for you.

Our Jupiter bankruptcy practice handles both individual (consumer) bankruptcy and business bankruptcy, specializing in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 for individuals and Chapter 11 for businesses. We are also practiced in Chapter 12 for “family farmers” or “family fishermen” with “regular annual income.” We are additionally experienced representing both debtors and creditors in debt collection matters and the full range of adversary proceedings and other litigation which may arise during a bankruptcy filing. Finally, if you went through bankruptcy with another lawyer and things went awry, call Julianne Frank Law for an expert opinion on whether you were the victim of bankruptcy malpractice and what you can do about it.

Bankruptcy Malpractice

You filed bankruptcy. You thought your lawyer knew what he or she was doing. Yet things did not turn out as you expected. Do you have a sense that you were not properly represented? That the bad result you just experienced could have been avoided? I want to hear how things went wrong. I want to try to fix the problem, or make your lawyer’s malpractice carrier pay for what was done to you.

Protecting Assets

Somebody is coming for your money, and you’ve worked way too hard to let them have it. You do not have to surrender. There are ways to insulate you from your creditors, and it is never too late.

Living for Today, Planning for the Future

Through a combination of wealth preservation and asset protection strategies, we can help you guard against losing valuable property to creditors, lawsuits, judgments or divorce. We draft wills, trusts and advance directives to help ensure you are taken care of during your lifetime, and your family is looked after when you are gone. Our office has expertise in a variety of asset protection strategies, including offshore planning from a local attorney you can count on to stand behind the plans she creates for you.
