Frequently Asked Questions


Bankruptcy FAQ

  • Can Whitehead Law's legal team help stop foreclosure?

    Yes. Filing for bankruptcy triggers an automatic stay, which immediately halts most foreclosure proceedings, repossessions, and creditor collection actions. Whitehead Law's bankruptcy attorneys can help you use this legal protection to stop foreclosure and explore options to save your home in Delaware and Maryland.

  • What is bankruptcy and when should I consider filing?

    Bankruptcy is a legal process that provides relief to individuals and businesses overwhelmed by debt. You may consider filing for bankruptcy if you are unable to pay your debts, facing wage garnishment, creditor harassment, or potential foreclosure. Whitehead Law can help you evaluate whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the right option for your situation.

  • What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

    Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation process that discharges most unsecured debts quickly, typically within 3–6 months. Chapter 13 is a reorganization plan that allows you to keep your assets while repaying debts over 3–5 years. The right choice depends on your income, assets, and financial goals. Whitehead Law's bankruptcy attorneys in Delaware and Maryland can guide you through both options.


Criminal Defense FAQ

  • What is criminal defense law?

    Criminal defense law involves the legal representation of individuals and organizations charged with criminal activity. A criminal defense attorney protects the rights of the accused, investigates the facts, challenges evidence, and advocates for the best possible outcome — whether that is dismissal, reduced charges, or acquittal.

  • What should I do if arrested in Delaware or Maryland?

    If you are arrested, you should remain calm, exercise your right to remain silent, and contact an attorney as soon as possible. Do not answer questions from law enforcement without your attorney present. Contact Whitehead Law immediately for a free consultation to discuss your rights and legal options.

What is a bench warrant in Delaware and Maryland?

A bench warrant is a type of arrest warrant issued by a judge or court, "from the bench," typically when a person fails to appear in court as required or violates a court order. In both Delaware and Maryland, if a judge issues a bench warrant, law enforcement officers are authorized to arrest the individual named in the warrant and bring them before the court.

Andrew Whitehead was able to do more for my son than any one else we had tried before and he was less expensive and even worked with us on getting him paid. Not once did we have any trouble reaching him personally. There were a couple of times we called while he was in court we had to leave a message. Our calls were prompltly returned first thing the next day. We used 2 highly recommended attorneys that were hard to contact rarely returned calls from the 1st message we left their service cost us an arm and a leg they demanded payment before service and sadly the outcome would have been exactly the same without any representation at all! After years battling Delaware's legal system for something that should have been so minor it was refreshing to find someone we trusted and felt he was really on our side. My family cannot thank him enough!! If you want the best possible outcome..and someone who gets it right from the start... do yourself a favor set up an appointment with Mr Whitehead. Thanks again The Zack family Tammy Zack

I absolutely love this Law Firm because, Mr.Whitehead is easy to contact and/or his staff never hesitates to ask you to leave a message. How would I describe this Law Firm? You ask, Well Mr.Whitehead and his staff provide honest, accurate and reliable work. You can tell he actually cares about you and your case and, truth be told, when you are going through a hard time, it is good to find someone that actually cares about your problems and/or financial issues. Affordable to any budget I believe, big or small, Mr.Whitehead does it all. Keep up the great work and, Thanks again for everything you do, not only for me but for everyone else in the same situation(s) as me. Taysha Jones
