Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy eliminates unsecured debts through asset liquidation. Exempt property remains protected while non-exempt assets get distributed to creditors. This process typically completes within 90-120 days, providing swift debt relief for qualifying individuals with limited disposable income.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 establishes structured debt repayment plans over 3-5 years. This option helps retain assets while reorganizing debts into manageable payments. It's ideal for individuals with regular income seeking to catch up on mortgage arrears or restructure secured debts.
Debt Relief
Our debt relief services focus on halting creditor actions through legal protections. We help clients eliminate garnishments, stop foreclosure proceedings, and resolve tax debts while creating pathways to financial stability through appropriate bankruptcy chapters.
