Bankruptcy

Difficult situations present themselves in our lives: the loss of a spouse, the loss of a job, a catastrophic illness.

These obstacles can force us to make tough economic decisions like which bills to pay first, or not to pay at all. Sometimes these circumstances can become so dire that we have only one option…bankruptcy. Our bankruptcy lawyers want to help our clients understand that even after filing for bankruptcy, financial viability is possible again. The two most common forms of bankruptcy are:

  • Chapter 7 Bankruptcy (liquidation of assets)
  • Chapter 13 Bankruptcy (debt restructuring)

Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy will discharge or wipe out most unsecured debts. Some common examples of unsecured debts are utility bills, credit cards, medical bills and payday or signature loans. The choice to file a business related bankruptcy is highly technical in nature but if done correctly, keeping in mind both your personal and business liabilities it can be a good way to close that chapter in your life and set you up for your next business opportunity.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is a consolidation plan based on what a debtor can actually afford to pay over the course of 3 to 5 years. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is often called “reorganization bankruptcy” and in many cases the amounts paid back are less than the full amount owed. Once you file a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, none of your creditors can call you, write you, sue you, garnish you, repossess your car, or foreclose on your house. This is called the “automatic stay.”
