Bankruptcy Relief Can Help You Start Over
According to the U.S. Courts, you can choose from four bankruptcy options when you file. Each individual or business entity that seeks bankruptcy protection will benefit from a particular chapter. When our team represents you, we will help you understand the merits and requirements of each chapter and guide you in choosing the right one for you.
Who Should Choose Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the right option for individuals and small business owners who would benefit from complete discharge of their debt. You may have to submit to a means test depending on your level of income, but our team will go through this process with you.
This is the most common choice for filers and usually the simplest chapter as well. In most cases, individuals who choose this option can keep most, if not all, of their assets. Business filers may also eliminate most debts by liquidating their assets and starting anew.
Who Should Choose Chapter 11 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 11 bankruptcy is often the right choice for individuals, corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies (LLCs). It helps with debt reorganization and lets you plan to repay undischarged debt in a manageable fashion with guidance and support from our team. Chapter 11 bankruptcy is complex, time-consuming, and challenging, but our team works with you at each step to ensure the process runs smoothly and that all schedules and filings are complete and accurate.
Who Should Choose Chapter 12 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 12 bankruptcy is often the right choice for family farmers and fishermen — in fact, it is specifically designed to meet their unique needs. To qualify, you must meet specific income guidelines and agree to pay your existing debt load over time. You are usually allowed between three and five years to do so. Under certain circumstances, you might have up to 11 years. Our team will help you create a debt repayment map.
Who Should Choose Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is often the right choice for individuals and small businesses with a regular stream of income. The court may require you to participate in a credit counseling program. Your reorganization and repayment plan will depend on your disposable income and will prioritize your debts for you. Our team will help you develop a debt repayment plan that takes your ongoing needs into consideration.
