Personal Bankruptcy Plan
After a careful analysis of your situation, we will help you determine which form of consumer bankruptcy might work for you. We have experience serving high-asset clients, and we put that experience to work for clients with moderate or low incomes as well.
You may qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a liquidation bankruptcy that will permanently discharge unsecured debts such as medical bills, credit cards and all other loans and debts that are not secured by collateral. You can generally keep your house and your car under a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.**
If you are not eligible for Chapter 7, we will help you explore Chapter 13, a reorganization bankruptcy. Chapter 13 will allow you to pay some or all of your debt over a three- to five-year time period, including back taxes.
Our priority is finding you debt relief, and we are dedicated to helping you get past your financial crisis.
