Question
I resided in an apartment complex here in phoenix az a couple of years ago. To make a long story short I was assulted by a tenant. He was arrested and was told to leave the property. Even though he was evicted he continued to come to the property. He kept harrassing me, I spoke to the management but nothing was done. I felt my life was in jeopardy so I decided to move. After moving the management filed a judgement for $1,500 can anything be done on my behalf?

Answer
You have various options here, both in terms of negating this judgment and in terms of a potential claim agains the management for their negligence in allwoing this to happen.  Call me on my cell phone and we can discuss this further.  I will not charge you just to talk on the telephone.   661  492-2673

FREE BANKRUPTCY HELP. If you are being sued, if your home is being foreclosed, or if you are being harassed by bill collectors, filing for bankruptcy may be a quick and inexpensive solution.. The mere filing of a bankruptcy will operate as a federal court order (it is called an automatic stay) to stop all bill collection efforts, including lawsuits that are pending or ongoing. Bankruptcy is a legitimate way to meet your problems with debt head-on. The bankruptcy law is designed to give you a second chance to make a new start without the psychological and financial burden of pressing debts that you are unable to pay. Depending on what state you live in and what your assets are, it is very unlikely that you are going to have to lose anything if you file for bankruptcy, and this is something that you can do immediately without having to pay the $500 to $1,500 attorney fees that most attorneys charge. Also, you might be surprised that you can file for bankruptcy and that it will not have the devastating effect on your credit that most bill collectors describe. Life is too short to have all this anxiety over losing your car through repossession, getting evicted from your home, or losing your home through foreclosure. Bankruptcy law was designed to give you a second chance. I will not charge you just to talk on the phone.
