bankruptcy

Bankruptcy is a powerful tool that can help you take control of your finances and get your life back on track. However, bankruptcy is a complex area of the law. That’s why it’s crucial to work with an experienced attorney who can help you understand your options and make informed decisions. During a free initial consultation with an attorney, we will analyze your situation so you know whether a bankruptcy is right for you, and if so, which type of case (Chapter 7 or Chapter 13) to file.

What is a Chapter 7 bankruptcy?

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy eliminates most debts, which allows you to make a fresh start. It is also an asset liquidation, which means that nonexempt (property that is not protected by law) is sold by a trustee, and the proceeds are paid to your creditors. In many cases, most assets and property are exempt, so it is protected and won’t be lost through the bankruptcy.

What is a Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy case allows you to consolidate your debts into one monthly plan payment. A Chapter 13 may allow you to get the benefits of bankruptcy without having to sell a nonexempt (unprotected) property. A Chapter 13 case stops foreclosure sales immediately and protects your property. The typical Chapter 13 case lasts from three to five years.
