Winston - Greensboro Attorney
Our Areas of Practice
From its offices in Winston-Salem and Greensboro, Hartsoe & Associates, P.C. provides legal services to North Carolina individuals and businesses. Our attorneys focus on guiding clients toward cost-efficient and effective solutions to their legal problems.
Help for Individuals
We routinely handle Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings for businesses and individuals in the Middle District of North Carolina. We file everything electronically, have automated the entire system using the latest software and web-based services, and will talk with clients about alternatives to filing for bankruptcy. Emergency filings to stop foreclosure — we can file a petition the same day, if necessary, given enough lead time and complete information from the client.
Our firm can help you stop foreclosure through bankruptcy, guide you through possible refinancing or restructuring your debt and mortgage, require predatory mortgage lenders to provide documentation, etc. You can fight back!
Get the IRS off your back … Now! We can help you negotiate with the IRS or State Department of Revenue on past-due income and payroll taxes, and can help you pursue options that include:
- Offers in compromise: paying a much lower amount to erase all of your tax debt, if you qualify. Unlike the others advertising out there, we will not tell you this is a sure bet. In fact, it is rare that the IRS will do this. We can help determine if your case qualifies and submit all the necessary paperwork.
