Bankruptcy and Debt Relief

At Noah R. Friend Law Firm, PLLC, we provide Kentucky residents and business owners with options to resolve various financial problems. Our attorneys have represented hundreds of individuals, families, and businesses in the United States Bankruptcy Court. Our experience includes ending harassment, garnishment, and other stressful situations associated with debt.

• *Chapter 7 Bankruptcy*: Often termed as the "fresh start" bankruptcy, Chapter 7 is the most common form of bankruptcy. It is best for consumers with primarily unsecured debt, such as medical bills, credit card debt, or personal loans. Many individuals can retain their homes and vehicles through special exemptions.

• *Chapter 11 Bankruptcy*: Called the "reorganization" bankruptcy, this chapter is for businesses wanting to continue operations. Instead of closing down, businesses can maintain ownership and control of their assets while repaying their debts over 3 to 5 years. Some portion of the debt may be discharged, depending on income.

• *Chapter 13 Bankruptcy*: Known as the "wage earners" bankruptcy, Chapter 13 requires consumers to meet a court-determined income-to-debt level, paying a court-appointed trustee for three to five years. The remaining amount is discharged, similar to a Chapter 7. It is best for those wanting to retain assets or get current on secured debts.

• *Preferential Transfers*: In large bankruptcies, people who received payments from a company before it went bankrupt may receive demand letters or lawsuits from the Trustee or Creditor's Committee. We help protect our clients from paying back some or all of this money by providing experienced legal aid.

• *Appeals*: Our firm has experience in appellate cases in the Kentucky Court of Appeals, Kentucky Supreme Court, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
