Services
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy eliminates unsecured debts like credit cards and medical bills while protecting essential assets. This process typically completes within 4-6 months under court supervision. Our firm helps clients determine eligibility through the means test and navigate asset exemption requirements to achieve complete debt discharge.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 establishes structured repayment plans for individuals with regular income. This option stops foreclosures and allows debtors to catch up on secured obligations over 3-5 years. We develop customized payment schedules that satisfy court requirements while maintaining financial feasibility for our clients throughout the repayment period.
Debt Restructuring
Our debt restructuring services help clients modify payment terms for unsecured obligations. This includes negotiating with creditors to reduce interest rates, extend payment periods, or settle balances. We focus on creating sustainable repayment frameworks that prevent further financial deterioration while maintaining essential asset ownership.

Questions
What types of bankruptcy do you handle?
We handle all personal and business bankruptcy chapters including 7, 11, and 13. Our experience covers asset protection, debt discharge, and repayment plan negotiations.
How do I qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
Qualification requires passing the means test comparing income to state median levels. Our attorneys analyze your financial situation to determine eligibility and guide necessary documentation.
Can bankruptcy stop wage garnishments?
Yes, filing for bankruptcy immediately halts wage garnishments through the automatic stay provision. We help clients implement this protection quickly during initial consultations.
How long does bankruptcy stay on credit reports?
Chapter 7 remains for 10 years while Chapter 13 stays for 7 years. We provide post-bankruptcy credit rebuilding strategies to help clients restore financial standing within 2-3 years.
What debt cannot be discharged?
Non-dischargeable debts include student loans, child support, recent taxes, and certain court judgments. We help clients develop payment strategies for these obligations while eliminating other debts.
Do I need an attorney for bankruptcy?
While not legally required, bankruptcy's complex requirements make professional representation strongly advisable. Our attorneys ensure proper documentation, court compliance, and optimal debt relief outcomes.
