Keep Your Belongings, Home and Car

Most people are concerned that they will lose their belongings and be forced to leave their homes if they file for a Chapter 7. In fact, most people get to keep their personal possessions. If they are up to date with their home and car payments, they will be able to keep them, too.

Giving You the Information You Need

Many people have been told by others that they will not qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy because they have too many assets or too high of an income. Our lawyer can help you understand whether you pass the "means test" once we assess your financial situation. There are at least 5 different types of bankruptcy filings. The majority of our clients do qualify for a Chapter 7. In any case, we give you the information you need to make an informed decision about which type is best in your situation.

Bankruptcy Stops All Actions to Collect Debt

As soon as you file for bankruptcy, all actions to collect debt from you must immediately cease. This allows you the breathing space to chart a course of action out of debt and back to financial stability.

Divorce and Bankruptcy

If you are considering a divorce and are in debt, it is critical for you to speak to an attorney about the timing of your divorce filing and if/when to file for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
