Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy eliminates unsecured debts through asset liquidation. This process stops creditor harassment, wage garnishments, and foreclosure proceedings. Our attorneys guide clients through exemption protections to preserve essential assets like homes and vehicles while achieving debt discharge within 90-120 days.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 establishes structured debt repayment over 3-5 years. This option helps clients catch up on mortgage arrears, protect valuable assets, and reorganize financial obligations while maintaining income stability through court-approved payment plans managed by our experienced bankruptcy team.
Foreclosure Defense
Our foreclosure defense services utilize bankruptcy protections and loan modification strategies to help homeowners retain property. We implement immediate automatic stays, negotiate with lenders, and develop customized solutions to prevent home loss while addressing underlying financial challenges.
Creditor Harassment
We provide legal protection against abusive debt collection practices through bankruptcy filings and FDCPA violations claims. Our services immediately halt harassing calls, letters, and legal actions while establishing comprehensive debt resolution strategies tailored to each client's circumstances.
Debt Relief
Our debt relief solutions combine bankruptcy options with alternative strategies to eliminate or restructure obligations. We help clients navigate Wisconsin exemption laws, negotiate creditor settlements, and develop sustainable financial plans for long-term stability and credit recovery.

Questions
What's the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy?
Chapter 7 eliminates unsecured debts quickly through asset liquidation while Chapter 13 establishes 3-5 year repayment plans to protect assets and restructure obligations based on income and debt types.
Can bankruptcy stop foreclosure proceedings?
Yes, both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings immediately halt foreclosure through automatic stay protections, but Chapter 13 provides structured mortgage arrears repayment for long-term home retention.
How much does bankruptcy cost in Wisconsin?
Basic Chapter 7 filings start at $338 court fees plus attorney fees, with payment plans available. Total costs vary based on case complexity and required legal services.
Will I lose my car in bankruptcy?
Wisconsin's $4,000 vehicle equity exemption typically protects primary vehicles in Chapter 7, while Chapter 13 allows retention through repayment plans regardless of equity amounts.
Can wage garnishments be stopped immediately?
Yes, bankruptcy filings automatically halt all wage garnishments immediately through federal court orders, providing immediate financial relief from debt collection actions.
