Bankruptcy Law
The vast majority of bankruptcy cases involve Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 of the bankruptcy code. These forms of consumer bankruptcy offer people the chances to get out from under their debts by following specific guidelines. Chapter 7 can provide credit card debt relief and freedom from a wide range of debts by allowing a bankruptcy trustee to sell any non-exempt assets he or she may possess. Many assets are exempt from the bankruptcy process. We can discuss your situation and let you know exactly what to expect throughout the process so you can choose the right option for you.
In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, a payment plan is created allowing you to pay off your debt over three to five years. At the end of that period, any remaining debt is forgiven. This form of bankruptcy may be right for you if you have specific assets you wish to protect, or if you do not qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
The Benefits of Bankruptcy
Both forms of bankruptcy can help you deal with creditor harassment, wage garnishment, liens, judgments, credit card debt and financial problems. When you file for bankruptcy, an automatic stay goes into effect, preventing creditors from contacting you in any way. It puts an immediate halt to harassing behavior. Our clients are often surprised at how quickly their situations change after contacting us. Bankruptcy is a powerful tool when used properly. We have the experience to help you preserve your assets and escape your debt problems.
