Special Needs Advocate
We represent families with Special Needs children as an Advocate fighting for your child's rights and assisting families with Special Needs concerns before both the local School Districts, as well as, Administrative Law Judges. We have extensive experience representing families with special needs and disabilities. There are several laws in place, including The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) (1975) that protect the rights of individuals with disabilities. These laws allow a child with Special Needs to obtain the appropriate services or accommodations through the public schools that they require in order to facilitate their learning in the least restrictive way possible. While public knowledge of special needs has grown over the past 10 years, children with special needs often have their rights overlooked. Our Special Needs attorney in Livingston, New Jersey regularly works with the School Districts and represents families before both the School District and Administrative Law Judges in order to ensure these laws are upheld. Our goal is to improve the life of these children with disabilities by ensuring that their right to free, appropriate and fair education is fully protected.
We serve clients in Livingston, West Orange, Newark, Belleville, Clifton, Irvington, East Orange, Paterson, Passaic, and Verona.
Medical Debt
There are two types of debts: secured and unsecured. Secured debts are those that are backed by collateral, such as a car loan. Unsecured debts are those that aren't backed by collateral, such as utility bills and credit cards. Medical bills are considered unsecured debts, which are dischargeable in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which means you may not have to pay them at all. If you file for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy then you will be on a payment plan that your attorney will help you to arrange. If you received treatments that were not covered by health insurance, then call our offices now. Medical debts are actually very common, but many people feel too overwhelmed to take action. These problems don't go away and will only worsen with time, so call us today to schedule your consultation.

Why You Shouldn't Wait
When a debt has not been paid then a collection agency is hired to handle the delinquent account and try to establish a payment plan with the debtor. When the debtor does not respond to calls or otherwise doesn't pay the debt or work out a payment plan, the debt gets turned over to a law firm. At that point, a lawsuit may be filed to collect the debt owed, and this is important not to ignore. Each state has its own set laws on how to handle these cases.
It's important to never ignore collection phone calls and/or notices sent by mail. You are only delaying the inevitable when you ignore these notices. And delaying will also cost you more money, as most of the time the debts are legitimate. You may face wage garnishments, repossessions, and foreclosures when you don't take action to resolve your debts. Once a suit has been filed, you have to act quickly or your assets could be in danger of being seized, especially "liquid" assets, or those that can be easily converted into cash.
Additionally, you may face additional fines and even imprisonment if you fail to follow up with the law firm. Not replying to their requests for payment will result in a de facto admission of guilt, and you don't want this judgment. This has serious implications for your financial future.
