Florida Bankruptcy Attorneys In Fort Lauderdale
Last updated on September 8, 2025
In Florida, debt-related legal issues like bankruptcy, foreclosure and creditor harassment are governed by federal protections and state-specific laws such as Florida’s homestead exemption. These situations can turn your daily life upside down and navigating them without guidance is risky.
At Light & Gonzalez, PLLC, we have spent over two decades helping individuals and families across South Florida, including Fort Lauderdale, regain control of their finances. Based in Plantation, just 20 minutes from Fort Lauderdale, we offer tailored legal support that treats you like a person, not just another case number.
Our Practice Areas
We focus on helping you overcome financial distress through strategic legal support in:
- Bankruptcy: We assist with Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings to eliminate or restructure debts like credit card balances and medical bills, giving you a fresh start.
- Foreclosure defense: Our lawyers fight to protect your home, exploring options like loan modifications or short sales to prevent foreclosure.
- Credit card debt defense: We defend against aggressive creditor lawsuits, often negotiating reduced settlements or leveraging defenses to dismiss claims.
- Credit repair services: We challenge inaccurate credit reports under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, helping restore your financial standing.
