Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy eliminates unsecured debts like credit cards and medical bills through asset liquidation exemptions. Our attorneys guide clients through the means test qualification process and protect maximum assets under California exemption laws. This three-to-four-month process provides a fresh financial start while addressing secured debts like mortgages and car loans.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy restructures debts into affordable three-to-five-year payment plans. We help clients catch up on mortgage arrears, protect non-exempt assets, and reorganize secured debts. Our team ensures compliance with court requirements while developing personalized repayment strategies that balance financial obligations with living expenses.
Stop Creditor Harassment
Filing bankruptcy triggers an automatic stay that immediately halts all collection activities. Our legal team enforces this federal protection against wage garnishments, lawsuits, and harassing calls. We represent clients in court to maintain stay protections and address any creditor violations throughout the bankruptcy process.
Stop Foreclosure
Bankruptcy stops active foreclosure sales through automatic stay provisions. We help clients retain homes by restructuring mortgage arrears in Chapter 13 plans or qualifying for Chapter 7 exemptions. Our attorneys coordinate with trustees and lenders to develop feasible payment solutions while navigating California's specific bankruptcy protections.
Stop Eviction
Filing bankruptcy can temporarily halt evictions when landlords haven't obtained possession orders. We advise clients on California's specific eviction protections and develop strategies to catch up rent payments through Chapter 13 plans. Our team ensures compliance with post-filing requirements to maintain housing stability during debt restructuring.
