Services
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy provides debt relief by liquidating non-exempt assets to pay creditors. This process typically concludes within 120 days, discharging eligible debts while protecting essential assets through state or federal exemptions. Our attorneys help clients determine debt dischargeability and asset protection options during free consultations.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 allows debtors to create structured repayment plans over 36-60 months. This option protects assets that might be lost in Chapter 7 while enabling favorable repayment terms for secured debts. We assist clients with mortgage cramdowns, tax debt repayment, and customized financial recovery strategies through this process.
Automatic Stay Enforcement
We protect clients from illegal debt collection during bankruptcy through automatic stay enforcement. When creditors violate 11 U.S.C. 362 protections, we pursue damages for harassment and ensure compliance with federal bankruptcy laws, regardless of which firm filed the original case.
Discharge Injunction Protection
After bankruptcy discharge, we defend clients against continued debt collection attempts. Under 11 U.S.C. 524 protections, we hold creditors accountable for post-discharge violations and ensure clients receive the full benefits of their financial fresh start.
Debt Restructuring
Our firm helps clients evaluate debt restructuring options beyond traditional bankruptcy. We analyze income requirements, asset protection needs, and long-term financial goals to determine whether Chapter 13 plans or alternative solutions best address each client's unique circumstances.
