Services
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy provides debt relief through asset liquidation for qualifying individuals. This process typically takes 3-4 months to complete, discharging unsecured debts like credit card balances and medical bills. Our attorneys help clients determine eligibility through the means test and protect exempt assets during liquidation proceedings.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 offers structured debt repayment over 3-5 years. This option allows debtors to keep valuable assets while catching up on mortgage arrears and reorganizing unsecured debts. Our team develops customized payment plans that meet court requirements and client financial capabilities.
Foreclosure Defense
Our foreclosure defense services focus on preserving homeownership through bankruptcy filings. We help clients stop ongoing foreclosure proceedings by implementing Chapter 13 repayment plans that address mortgage arrears while maintaining current payments.
Debt Relief Consultation
We provide comprehensive debt relief consultations evaluating all available options. Our process includes financial assessment questionnaires, document review, and personalized strategy sessions to determine whether bankruptcy or alternative solutions best address client needs.
Business Bankruptcy
Business bankruptcy services assist failing companies with debt restructuring or orderly liquidation. We guide business owners through Chapter 7 proceedings, helping protect personal assets while addressing business liabilities through court-supervised bankruptcy processes.

Questions
What's the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy?
Chapter 7 provides quick debt discharge through asset liquidation, while Chapter 13 offers 3-5 year repayment plans that can save homes from foreclosure.
How does bankruptcy affect credit scores?
While bankruptcy appears on credit reports for 7-10 years, it often improves debt-to-income ratios and enables credit rebuilding through responsible financial management.
Can I keep my home if I file bankruptcy?
Chapter 13 allows mortgage arrears repayment while keeping your home, provided you maintain regular payments during the repayment plan.
What are the income requirements for bankruptcy?
Chapter 7 requires passing a means test, while Chapter 13 requires regular income to fund a repayment plan for debt reorganization.
How quickly can bankruptcy stop foreclosure?
Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy immediately triggers an automatic stay that halts all foreclosure proceedings and collection activities.
