We love receiving shout-outs from our clients—even from those who took a little while to become our clients. WE Just received this email from a person who contacted us in November of 2021because he was not happy with the lawyer who was handling his bankruptcy. He spoke to Brian Flick, leader of DannLaw’s Bankruptcy Practice Group at the time, but decided to stick with the law firm he had hired.

I was mildly enthusiastic about the CARES Act immediately after it was passed because it appeared to be substantially different from the stimulus plan crafted by the federal government during the Great Recession of 2008. That package funneled trillions of dollars to the big banks and Wall Street speculators whose unfettered greed nearly destroyed the world’s financial system but did relatively little to help working and middle-class families devastated by the collapse of the housing market. … [Read more...] about COVID-19 Update 8: Thoughts on the CARES Act, Planning for life after the pandemic

I’ve been involved in politics and government for over 40 years and I can say  definitively that I have not seen legislation that offers as much direct and immediate relief to distressed consumers, borrowers, small business owners and tenants as the Covid-19 stimulus package, known as the CARES Act that Congress passed on Friday, March 27.  You can read an analysis of the bill here. You can read the legislation in its entirety here. While I’m generally pleased with the CARES Act, I do have … [Read more...] about DannLaw Update on Covid-19 CARES Act passed by Congress and signed by the President

When I woke up this morning to another stream of stories about the Coronavirus, I wasn’t worried about the impact the growing crisis was having on big banks or the stock market—as has been proved time and again, they’ll recover or be bailed out, or both. Instead, I was concerned about the people reporters obsessed with Wall Street losses ignore:  people like the guy who was counting on catching up on his Christmas credit card charges by selling hot dogs at the NCAA tournament at Rocket … [Read more...] about Lessons learned in the last recession could help working families deal with the coronavirus crisis

Today, we’re going to tell you story about good vs. evil, right vs. wrong. The main character in the tale is Riad Ghosheh who owns a home that Ocwen Loan Servicing LLC and PHH Mortgage Services tried to steal. They’re the bad guys. How bad?

A recent federal appeals court decision may spell “relief” for Americans buried under private student loan debt held by Navient. In a unanimous decision, a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held that Navient private student loans ARE dischargeable in bankruptcy.

We won’t go into the complex legal issues discussed in the Court’s 28-page decision--although you can read it here if you are so inclined:5th cir private … [Read more...] about Federal Appeals Court provides hope for Americans struggling to pay Navient student loans
