As your attorney, Lawrence L. Szabo gives you every benefit of his 35 years of experiencewith every aspect of consumer bankruptcy, including the connection between taxes and foreclosure.

For example, Mr. Szabo educates you to the importance of the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007, in which federal taxpayers are permitted to exclude from their taxes certain discharges of debt on a primary residence. This "discharge" includes debt reduced through foreclosure and mortgage restructuring in the years 2007-2009.
