Let Us Help You Navigate the Bankruptcy Process

The purpose of the bankruptcy process is to provide relief to those who find themselves with a level of debt that results in a severely negative impact on their life or their business.

Bankruptcy allows someone to stop the harassing calls and letters from creditors and to get back to living their life to the best of their ability. It also limits the impact on their families and/or their business. I know how to help clients use the bankruptcy system to make life easier and to get a fresh start.

There are two types of bankruptcy available for individuals:

  • Chapter 13 reorganization allows an individual to restructure their debts and pay them back over time in a way that fits within their income level. If the client has a number of assets they wish to protect, then this is the best choice. We work with highly rated bankruptcy attorneys and happily work with you to find the best one for the job.
  • Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows for the liquidation and the complete elimination of most debts. Upon discharge, the trustee wipes out most of your debt. This is usually the best option for people with a lot of unsecured debt and little to no income. However, if you file for Chapter 7 then you are required to undergo a means test. If they have a reasonable level of income, the trustee may force them into a Chapter 13.
  • Wage Garnishment Disputes allow us to stop creditors from garnishing your wages so that you can retain your income and come to a resolution that works for you and your creditor.

Looking for a Fresh Start?

At my law firm, I understand the ins and outs and the pertinent details of the bankruptcy process. For example, although the Chapter 7 process will discharge most of your debts, you will also agree to liquidate most, if not all, of your assets.

Also, some debts, such as student loans, cannot be discharged. You may have to continue to make payments on certain properties with a lien attached. If the bankruptcy court determines that you can pay a significant portion of your debts, they can move you into a Chapter 13 and set up a payment plan for either three to five years.

There is a lot to consider even before filing a bankruptcy petition. There is much to plan for even before you fill out the copious amounts of paperwork that must be completed before, during, and after the bankruptcy. You have to list every single creditor and every asset, including those items you don't want to include in the bankruptcy. Failure to do some things can result in the entire case being thrown out and you having to restart the process.

There is a lot to do and you should have competent legal counsel by your side as you do it. I have the knowledge, experience, and skill to make sure all details are attended to and that you receive the best possible outcome.
