A personal injury is an injury to the body, mind, and emotion as opposed to an injury to property. Personal injury cases are based on the doctrine of negligence. Every person is required to act responsibly to avoid putting others at risk. Examples of personal injury cases are auto accidents, slip and fall cases, unfortunate happenings in stores, and problems with streets and sidewalks owned by businesses or governmental agencies. If you have been injured as a result of actions by others please call Richard Hackerman, your trusted personal injury attorney in Baltimore, Maryland.

Bankruptcy can provide relief. Some taxes and penalties are dischargeable; those that can’t be discharged can be paid without interest in Chapter 13. The automatic stay in bankruptcy stops collection actions by taxing authorities, including garnishment and seizure. These provisions of the law apply equally to state and federal tax agencies.

The precise measure of the relief available in bankruptcy depends on a number of factors including: 

1. the kind of tax involved
2. the age of the tax
3. whether a return was filed
4. the chapter of bankruptcy selected

    

In general, unsecured income taxes that were first due more than three years before the bankruptcy is filed for which a timely and non-fraudulent return was filed, can be discharged in full in any chapter of bankruptcy.

Offers in Compromise

An Installment Agreement is an agreement in which the Internal Revenue Service permits a person to pay delinquent tax liabilities over time. I will attempt to negotiate an Installment Agreement for you. These negotiations can be difficult and require the knowledge of the guidelines of the Internal Revenue Service. I can also work with you to attempt to reach an agreement with the State of Maryland.

An Offer in Compromise is an agreement between the taxpayer and the government that settles a tax liability for payment of less than the total amount due. The Internal Revenue Service may accept an offer in compromise when it appears that the tax liability cannot be collected in full and the amount the taxpayer is offering equals at a minimum the smallest amount that the IRS believes that it can collect from the taxpayer’s assets and income.

Richard Hackerman can assist in the preparation of your Last Will Testament.  The preparation of the will is one of the most important things that a person ever does.  It determines how one’s assets are distributed after their death.  It is your opportunity to express your love and gratitude for those individuals who have been the most important in your life.

The process of settling the estate is referred to as estate administration.  If a person had executed a valid will, the terms of the will normally will determine how the assets of the estate are distributed and who will be the Personal Representative.  Where there is no will, state law will determine how the assets will be distributed.  There is an order of priority that will determine who will be beneficiaries of the estate and who will be the personal representative when there is no will.  Richard Hackerman will guide you through the probate process.
