BANKRUPTCY

At Sheppard Law Offices, we assist individuals, married couple, and business owners throughout the entire state of Ohio in Chapter 7 (liquidation) and Chapter 13 (reorganization) bankruptcies.  Bankruptcy Attorney Carl N. Cottone is licensed in both the Northern District of Ohio and the Southern District of Ohio, United States District Courts.  Thus, in addition to cases right here in Columbus, Ohio, Sheppard Law Offices handles consumer bankruptcies originating from Cleveland, Toledo, Cincinnati, Dayton, to all cities and all 88 counties in Ohio.

With gas prices, food prices, and the cost of living on the rise, bankruptcy filings are becoming more prevalent in our society today.  Foreclosures are occurring routinely and the economy seems to get worse every day.  If you know or believe that bankruptcy is a realistic option for you and your family to consider, Sheppard Law Offices can help you.  We will guide you through the process and help you get a fresh start.

With the changes in the bankruptcy law a few years ago, it has become more difficult for some people to seek relief through filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition.  At Sheppard Law Offices, Attorney Carl Cottone will anaylze your situation and help you determine whether you qualify for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 relief.

Federal & State Individual & Business Taxation

At Sheppard Law Offices, we frequently see that our bankruptcy clients also have tax problems.  These tax problems may include the failure to file prior years' personal, business, and/or employment tax returns.  The federal bankruptcy rules are complex when it comes to the issue of including unpaid taxes.  Tax Attorney Kenneth L. Sheppard, Jr. works closely with Bankruptcy Attorney Carl Cottone to determine these issues. 

In the event that you are unable to include your unpaid taxes in your bankruptcy filing, other alternatives may be available to you.  Columbus Tax Attorney Ken Sheppard can help you negotiate IRS tax liabilities, penalties and interest.  Mr. Sheppard's practice is limited to IRS Negotiations and Settlements, fedeal and state tax return preparation, and IRS tax audits.  At Sheppard Law Offices, we assist taxpayers by completing and filing delinquent tax returns, analyzing tax deficiencies, and negotiating settlements with the IRS (and some state taxing authorities).  We can help you properly prepare and file Offers in Compromise, Installment Agreements, and Abatement of Penalty letters.

One Final Word... 

Our dedication to our clients' cases coupled with our various practice areas (Family Law, Criminal Defense (DUI/OVI), Bankruptcy, Tax Law, Personal Injury, and Business Law) leads to numerous referrals and long-lasting, successful relationships with our clients.  We're successful simply because we are honest and straightfoward with our clients about their legal and tax matters.
