A Fresh Financial Start Is Possible

Filing for bankruptcy is a major decision — and an emotional one. Our attorneys take the time to understand your full financial picture, explain your options in plain language, and guide you confidently through the process, from filing to discharge.

Your Options

Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13

Which chapter fits depends on your income, assets, and what you're trying to protect.

Liquidation

Chapter 7

Typically resolved in 3–6 months
  • Discharges most unsecured debt quickly
  • Requires passing a means test
  • Certain exempt assets are protected
  • Best for lower income, few assets

Questions

Bankruptcy FAQ

Will bankruptcy stop creditor calls and wage garnishment?

In many cases, filing triggers an automatic stay that halts most collection actions, including calls and garnishments. We'll explain how this applies to your situation.

Will I lose everything I own?

Not necessarily. Many types of property are protected by exemptions under Chapter 7 or preserved through a Chapter 13 repayment plan.

How does bankruptcy affect my credit?

Bankruptcy does impact your credit initially, but many clients begin rebuilding their credit shortly after discharge. We'll walk you through what to expect.

Which chapter of bankruptcy is right for me?

It depends on your income, assets, and debt type. We'll help you determine the best option during your free consultation.
