      <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><h2>Civil Suit Attorney Michael D. Doyle</h2>

<p>Attorney Michael D. Doyle counsels and represents clients in the variety of ways when dealing with civil litigation matters.</p>

<h3>Pre-suit representation and negotiations</h3>

<p>Attorney involvement early in a legal situation is often critical in getting you a fair settlement for your injuries or monetary damages.  Attorney Michael D. Doyle's can guide you through the stages of investigation and negotiations that often take place prior to a lawsuit being filed.  Without the guidance of an experienced attorney, people who find themselves in a legal situation that needs resolution may make statements to the other side that can hurt their case after a lawsuit is filed.</p>

<p>Often a settlement can be negotiated without the expense of filing a lawsuit.   Michael D. Doyle has extensive experience in negotiating settlements with businesses, insurance companies and individuals for his clients.  </p>

<p>Contacting an experienced attorney early in a case is an important step in planning a pre-suit strategy.  Call today  for your free initial consultation to find out how Attorney Michael D. Doyle can help you resolve your legal problem and possibly avoid a costly lawsuit altogether.</p>

<h3>Administrative hearings</h3>

<p>Administrative hearings usually involve important rights or benefits.  Many people facing an administrative hearing make the mistake of thinking that they do not need the assistance of an attorney, and they lose out on valuable benefits or privileges.  As an attorney with many years of experience, Michael D. Doyle can present the evidence in your administrative law case in an effective manner.  </p>

<p>You have a right to be represented by an attorney in a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) or a hearing examiner.  Attorney Michael D. Doyle has the knowledge and experience to present your evidence, examine and cross-examine witnesses, and present your side of the story in a carefully considered closing statement.  </p>

<p>Call today for your free initial consultation to find out how Attorney Michael D. Doyle can help you to prepare for your Administrative Hearing.</p>

<h3>State Court trials and appeals</h3>

<p>Whether your case is being tried in State Court for the first time, or whether you are involved in an appeal, either as Plaintiff or Defendant, you need an experienced trial lawyer.   Michael D. Doyle has been trying cases in Elyria and Lorain County and the surrounding areas for 20 years.  </p>

<p>An experienced trial lawyer can skillfully present your case, research the contested legal issues, and decide how to best present your evidence - or counter the evidence presented by the other side.  </p>

<p>There are many procedural rules that must be followed in civil litigation.  Failure to file a required motion or answer on time can result in your case or your appeal being dismissed.  </p>

<p>If your recent civil trial resulted in verdict that is unfair to you, or the other side is appealing the judgment, you need an attorney who is experienced in the appeals process to examine the record and find decisions of law that were decided wrongly.  </p>

<p>Your case begins with a free initial consultation where you will personally meet with Attorney Michael Doyle who will evaluate your case, tell you what to expect, and guide you through the process. Your case is important, and our professional and dedicated staff will answer your questions at every stage of the process.</p>

<h3>Alternative Dispute Resolution Representation (including arbitrations and mediations)</h3>

<p>Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is a process through which people who have legal disputes can resolve them outside of a courtroom.  Although your ADR case will not be heard by a judge and jury, it is still important to have the guidance of a competent and experienced attorney at your side.  </p>

<p>In a mediation, the opposing parties will meet with a neutral third person whose job it is to help them find a resolution that they can agree upon.  The mediator assists them in negotiating a settlement.  It is important to have the aid of an experienced attorney in your mediation. Even though the mediator may be an attorney, he or she is not there  to advise you about or protect your legal rights.  Mediation is often used in civil disputes to work out issues that arise where both parties want to do the "right thing," but are having trouble deciding what is fair to both parties.  As an experienced negotiator, Attorney Michael D. Doyle can advise you about your legal rights and the fairness of any proposed solution.</p>

<p>In an arbitration, the parties present their cases and tell their stories to one or more neutral parties who will decide the outcome of the case.  Arbitration can be binding - meaning the parties have no choice but to accept the arbitrator's decision, or non-binding.  Arbitration is often used in commercial disputes.  Many contracts that you sign require binding mediation as the way to resolve any problems.  Because your rights may be decided without ever setting a foot inside courtroom, it is important that you have a qualified advocate who will present your case in the most favorable light and protect your financial interests.</p>

<p>Your case begins with a free initial consultation where you will personally meet with Attorney Michael Doyle who will evaluate your case, tell you what to expect, and guide you through your arbitration or mediation session. Your case is important, and our professional and dedicated staff will answer your questions at every stage of the process.</p>

    <content type="xhtml" xml:base="http://www.mddoylelaw.com/">
      <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><h2>Bankruptcy Attorney Michael D. Doyle</h2>

<p>Filing for bankruptcy is not an easy decision to make.  Attorney Michael D. Doyle has been admitted to the United State District Court, Northern District of Ohio, where Bankruptcy cases are heard, for 20 years.  His many years of experience give him the expertise to advise you whether bankruptcy is an option that can be beneficial to you in difficult financial situations.</p>

<p>Financial problems are stressful.  Collection calls and garnishments can be embarrassing and financially devastating.  Filing for bankruptcy ends the collection calls, lawsuits, wage garnishments and other attempts to collect your debts.  </p>

<h3>Declaring Bankruptcy</h3>

<p>There are two types of bankruptcy available to consumers seeking to declare bankruptcy:</p>

<ul>
<li>Chapter 7 Bankruptcy</li>
<li>Chapter 13 Bankruptcy</li>
</ul>

<h3>Chapter 7 Bankruptcy</h3>

<ul>
<li>Often called a straight bankruptcy.  Most filers qualify for this option.</li>
<li>Most debts are discharged in this option, meaning you are no longer personally responsible for the debt.  Bankruptcy usually cannot discharge most taxes, student loans, and domestic support obligations.</li>
<li>Many assets, including homes, vehicles, household goods, jewelry, and retirement savings can be maintained unless they have significant value above an “exemption” amount determined by law.  However, if you still have an outstanding loan on your home, vehicle or other asset that you wish to keep, you must continue to make the payments.</li>
<li>In order to file under Chapter 7, you must have inadequate income to pay for debts after paying your reasonable living expenses.  Attorney Michael D. Doyle can evaluate your situation and tell you if you qualify for this option.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Chapter 13 Bankruptcy</h3>

<ul>
<li>Instead of being immediately discharged, your debts are restructured and paid back over three to five years under a payment plan that you can afford.</li>
<li>Chapter 13 is an option for people with incomes too high or with assets too valuable to qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.</li>
<li>Chapter 13 can often help you to avoid foreclosure.  </li>
<li>You can decide whether to keep your home and vehicle and continue to make payments or to surrender them to stop payments.</li>
<li>If you have judgment liens or second mortgages, these can often be “stripped off” and converted to unsecured debt.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Direct and Personal Service</h3>

<p>The office of Michael D. Doyle, Attorney at Law, is a debt relief agency.  We help people file for bankruptcy under the bankruptcy code.
Unlike some bankruptcy law firms, when you call the office of Michael D. Doyle, Attorney at Law, <strong>you will <em>not</em> meet with an administrative assistant or low level associate attorney</strong> and be given a videotape to watch only to be told that “you don’t qualify” without ever meeting an experienced bankruptcy attorney.  <strong>You <em>will</em> meet with Attorney Michael D. Doyle personally</strong> to discuss and assess your financial situation to determine whether bankruptcy is the right option for you.</p>

Doyle, who will personally meet with you and advise you of your options.

He will be there for you along every step of the process, from the preparation and filing of the Bankruptcy petition to the meeting of your creditors and until discharge.
