Bankruptcy Under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 - Stop Foreclosure & Obtain a Fresh Start

You can file for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. The decision about which type of bankruptcy is right for you is based not only on your current financial situation, but also on what you hope to achieve through the bankruptcy process. Chapter 7 allows for a full discharge of most types of debt. Chapter 13 allows for the creation of a repayment plan in which you pay back a portion of your debt over a 3 to 5 year period. Chapter 13 is for those individuals seeking to save their home from foreclosure, and for those individuals who do not qualify for Chapter 7.

Consultative Approach

Our goal is to ensure that you fully understand all of your options, as well as what happens during and after the bankruptcy process. It is critical to work with an experienced attorney who understands that every detail must be in order before appearing at the hearing with the trustee. Your goal is debt relief. We will help you to achieve your goal.
