Free COVID-19 Financial Counsel Hotline for People & Businesses

LONG ISLAND, NY; APRIL 27, 2020 – Leslie H. Tayne, Esq., founder and head attorney of debt resolution law firm Melville, NY-Headquartered Tayne Law Group, P.C. is extending a helping hand to the many individuals and businesses financially inflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic who are in much need of professional guidance and assistance with their finances, budgeting and debt. To help address these concerns, Tayne Law Group is now offering free phone or virtual consultations and is expanding its counsel availability to include evening and weekend appointments. Tayne Law Group is also providing free COVID-19 financial resources on its website, www.taynelawgroup.com.

“In addition to the horrific health impacts of the coronavirus, we’ve seen unprecedented financial fallout as well,” said Tayne, who has more than two decades of experience in debt management. “With so many individuals suddenly facing unemployment and so many businesses having to close or reduce operations, the economic repercussions of this virus are reaching far and wide. Our free consultations are designed to provide resources and options to individuals and business owners who are concerned about how they are going to pay their bills and avoid debt or bankruptcy.”

Here are some of the areas Tayne Law Group, P.C. is addressing with individuals and business owners during its free consultations for helping them manage the financial fallout many are facing from COVID-19:

· Assessing budgets: The most important first step in determining how to manage finances during this unprecedented time is to review your budget. Consider what expenses can be reduced at this time and how your household or business can operate as leanly as possible.

· Understanding resources: The federal government passed The CARES Act, which provides stimulus funds to individuals and families as well as offering loans to small businesses. However, as of April 16, the Small Business Administration had run out of funds to provide these loans. Staying up-to-date on the resources that are available and taking advantage of what is being offered is beneficial for finding more financial relief.

· Asking for help: Many creditors and lenders are offering assistance and leniency to their customers at this time. Reaching out to creditors to explain your situation and inquiring about what options they have available can be helpful for making ends meet during this crisis. Seeking guidance from other financial professionals can also help you navigate the confusing and overwhelming financial landscape at this time.

“If you or your business are financially struggling as a result of COVID-19, you’re definitely not alone,” said Tayne. “My team and I are well versed in the current financial landscape related to this crisis and are able to work closely with you to find the best financial options tailored specifically to your personal situation.”
