At Walker & Walker, every victory, big or small, means another step toward financial freedom for our clients. This week’s win comes from Attorney Richard Lee, who helped a client save money after filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Minnesota.
Our client owed the trustee $6,000 for a nonexempt vehicle, which means the trustee decided that part of the car’s value was not protected under Minnesota’s bankruptcy exemptions. Normally, that would require paying the full amount to keep the vehicle, but Attorney Lee stepped in to negotiate a better outcome.
After reviewing the case and working directly with the trustee, Attorney Lee was able to reach a settlement for $4,500 instead of $6,000, saving the client $1,500. That is real money that now goes toward rebuilding, saving, and creating a stronger financial future.
Filing the case is only the beginning. Our attorneys work to protect assets, lower trustee payments, and secure stronger financial outcomes for every client. The goal is simple: to make bankruptcy a clear path to stability and a genuine fresh start.
