The city of Lawrenceville, GA has one of the highest number of foreclosure actions for July 2011. Many of these residents wanted to avoid the prospect of losing their home. Had action been completed previously with a bankruptcy attorney, action could have been taken. Berry & Associates has 11 offices throughout metro Atlanta with an office easily located off I-85 in Duluth.

In Georgia, only Fulton County has more foreclosure actions than Gwinnett County and Lawrenceville, GA is leading the county by over a 2:1 margin. In July 2011 there were 468 foreclosure actions in Gwinnett County in Lawrenceville alone, with Buford (172) coming in second, Snellville (167) third, and Norcross (122) forth. RealtyTrac spilts Duluth foreclosures between Gwinnett and Fulton. Total Duluth foreclosures where 134 with 88 being credited to Gwinnett and 46 to Fulton.

Below is the July 2011 breakdown of  Gwinnett County foreclosures according to RealtyTrac:

  • Lawrenceville Foreclosures = 468

  • Dacula Foreclosures = 88
  • Duluth Foreclosures = 88

They claim though that the recovery will be slow and painful.

Not much good news in that for Atlanta residents facing foreclosure and layoffs. If you are facing financial difficulty, you should talk to an experienced bankruptcy attorney about your options to eliminate your debts.

An Atlanta bankruptcy lawyer can help you determine if you are a candidate for Chapter 7 bankrutpcy, or if you will have to file a Chapter 13 case to stop foreclosure on your home.

A bankruptcy attorney can also explain how debt elimination programs work, and help you if you choose to take that course of action.
