A Time To Recover
Bankruptcy can give you a fresh financial start and upon filing immediately stop foreclosure; stop wage garnishment; stop collection harassment and stop repossession of your automobile or other property.
Is It Right For You?
However, bankruptcy may not be able to solve every financial problem that you have, and it may not be right for you. Bankruptcy, as a solution to your financial problems, should only be considered once you fully understand the consequences and the other options for your situation. You also should understand that there are different types of bankruptcy solutions.
Our job is to help you understand your rights and obligations and create the best possible financial outcome for your future. If you believe that filing for bankruptcy is the best solution for your financial problems, please call us to schedule an appointment for a free consultation.
Understanding Chapter 7 and Chapter 13
There are two types of bankruptcy available to individuals: Chapter 7 (straight bankruptcy) and Chapter 13 (debt consolidation). We can help you understand which type of bankruptcy is best suited to your situation. In any event, as soon as your case is filed, creditors are prohibited from contacting you either at home or work.
