WHAT THE MCCUE LAW FIRM DOES


With a combined forty years of experience, Christian and Lisa McCue have devoted their professional careers to making sure that affordable legal representation is never out of the reach of Floridians in the Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach area. Whether you're filing for bankruptcy, seeking to stave off foreclosure, or seeking mortgage modification, The McCue Law Firm will have your back every step of the way, offering legal counsel, financial information and support to help you through times of money-related hardships. Let us help you get a second chance in life.

Personal Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 & 13

Declaring bankruptcy is an effective way to discharge your debts in a situation when you simply cannot meet your financial obligations – and it should be filed with legal counseling. The numbers speak for themselves: Chapter 7 filings with legal representation are successful in 95 percent of cases, while reorganizations under Chapter 13 succeed in 55 percent of cases. Without legal representation, the chances of success are sharply cut to 60 percent for Chapter 7 and one percent with Chapter 13. We will help you choose the option most suited for your individual situation and ensure that filing bankruptcy in Florida is the best solution for you.

Corporate Bankruptcy

Chapter 7

Under United States law, bankruptcy proceedings for businesses require representation by a legal professional. If you’re filing for bankruptcy in Florida, we can help you streamline the process and ensure that your Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing and the liquidation of your business will proceed smoothly, ensuring that the appointed trustee will have access to all the assets necessary for a speedy and uncomplicated resolution of the process.

Foreclosure Defense

Challenging the Lender

Foreclosures are the bane of every homeowner. Many aren't aware that you can fight them - and win! Miscommunication, wrongful business practices, unconscionable terms, or blatant mistakes on the part of the lender are just a few of the challenges that allow for countering foreclosure and keeping your home. We will help you defend it.

Mortgage Modification Mediation

Negotiating with the Lender

As your financial situation changes, the mortgage you have may prove to be a burden. Modifying a mortgage can help you keep your home and become current on your loan again. Mediation for mortgage modification is a unique legal instrument available to citizens in Florida. We can help by providing competent mediation services and reconcile you with your lender.
