Bankruptcy
If you are struggling to keep up with your monthly payments and are accumulating an overwhelming amount of debt, bankruptcy may be able to provide the relief you need to get a clean slate and move forward. Filing for bankruptcy temporarily stops collection actions, meaning it can be used to save your home, prevent wage garnishments, and avoid other damaging consequences of debt. Chapter 7 bankruptcy can help you if you have little to no disposable income, while Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help you create a plan to pay off your debt over time. Both of these types of bankruptcy allow filers to eliminate credit card debt, medical debt, and other unsecured debts at the end of each process. After reviewing your financial circumstances, we can determine whether bankruptcy is right for you, help you prepare your petition, and represent you every step of the way. Our goal is to fervently protect your interests and help you make the most of your filing.
Criminal Defense
Have you been charged with a crime or learned you are being criminally investigated? Resist the urge to defend yourself and give voluntary statements to the police, investigators, or any other law enforcement officials. You have a right to remain silent, and it is in your best interest to exercise this right. Then, get in touch with The Law Office of Jason A. Dennis. Whether you have been charged with a felony or misdemeanor drug crime, violent crime, sex crime, theft crime, or white-collar crime, we are confident we can mount a compelling defense in state or federal court. Our Maryland attorney is a talented litigator who has the tenacity and trial acumen required to win. We will always work to secure the best possible outcome and exhaust all appellate strategies should we initially receive an unfavorable decision.

If you are going through a divorce or are engaged in a custody, support, or property division dispute, we can offer the compassionate support you need to get through this challenging moment and achieve your objectives. We are extremely well-versed in family law and are familiar with how these cases are resolved in Maryland family courts. Our firm will also help you explore alternative forms of dispute resolution that may prove less stressful and more cost-effective, including collaborative law, mediation, and arbitration.
