Typically, a bankrupt will be able to retain, amongst other things, most ordinary household items, tools used to earn an income up to a prescribed amount, vehicles provided that the value does not exceed a prescribed amount, compensation payments for a personal injury and any assets held in trust for another person.Bankruptcy typically lasts for three (3) years.

My experience with Hale Legal has been an excellent one. Alan Skinner heads up an extremely professional team at Hale. My case was handled with professionalism, efficiency at all times and due to the diligent work of my lawyer Peter Mariotto, I did not have go to court to have my case heard before a magistrate. My case was resolved in timely manner. I have no hesitation in recommending Hale Legal.
Excellent!

Hale Legal recently assisted our client in exiting a director/shareholder from their business. The other party was quite hostile and Alan and Travis did a great job in reaching a favorable result for our client without going to court. I can highly recommend the Hale Legal team.

I'm am indebted to Alan Skinner and his staff for the fantastic work they have done for me in a recent debt recovery matter. I have been referring clients to Alan for a long time based on Alan's professionalism and knowledge of all commercial law but can say from first hand experience why they are a first class commercial law firm. Keep up the great work guys!
