What is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is your legal right to debt relief. If you meet the income and asset requirements to qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, it will discharge most of your unsecured debt, while letting you keep your car and home in most cases. In addition, after filing for Chapter 7, all creditor harassment must stop. This includes phone calls and letters, wage garnishment and lawsuits.
Are Those Bankruptcy Myths True?
Many people feel humiliated about filing for bankruptcy, and are ill-informed about how it really works. Bankruptcy is not something to be ashamed of, and many people who file for Chapter 7 face debt and financial problems caused by circumstances beyond their control. I will help you separate fact from fiction, so you can make well-informed decisions.
What Should I Expect When I Work With You?
Over the course of my 37 years of practicing bankruptcy law, I have developed a streamlined screening and filing process for my clients. I understand your time and money are important to you. I strive to provide solutions that are prompt, efficient and reliable.
When you contact me, I will begin by gathering basic information from you to determine if you qualify to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If you meet the income, asset-limit and other requirements, I will set up a meeting where we will go over your debt and creditor information in more detail, along with other documents and prepare the necessary paperwork. Once you have completed a credit counseling course and submitted your fees in full, I will file your petition.
Take Steps Toward a Brighter Tomorrow
The Chapter 7 bankruptcy process does not need to be overwhelming, confusing or beyond your financial reach. Rely on my 37 years of experience to guide you through the process successfully and efficiently. In most cases, I can file bankruptcy petitions for about $600 - $800, plus court costs. Your actual cost may vary, depending on the complexity of your particular case.
