🤔 Is Bankruptcy the Right Choice for You?
Not everyone who comes to us needs to file Bankruptcy — and that’s okay. Our first job is to figure out whether Bankruptcy is genuinely the best option for your situation. If it is, we’ll walk you through every step. If not, we’ll help you explore other solutions, like debt settlement or payment plans.
💡 With the right strategy, Bankruptcy can:
🚫 Stop creditor harassment.
💵 End wage garnishment.
🏠 Delay or prevent foreclosure & repossession.
✨ Eliminate most of your debts.
⚖️ Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.
We handle both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases. Here’s how they compare:
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.
Often called a “fresh start,” Bankruptcy. It wipes out most unsecured debts (like credit cards, medical bills, and personal loans).
Best if your income is too low to pay back even a small portion of your debts.
Requires passing the “means test” — but don’t worry, we’ll guide you through it.
Chapter 7 is usually the fastest and least expensive option.
Many people think they “make too much” to qualify, but that’s not always true. With careful planning, an experienced attorney can often find deductions that make Chapter 7 possible.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.
Think of Chapter 13 as a restructuring plan. Instead of wiping out debts all at once, you pay back certain obligations over 3–5 years.
It can be a powerful tool if:
You’re facing foreclosure (gives you time to catch up on your mortgage).
You owe back taxes (lets you repay without more penalties).
You have debts that can’t be wiped out in Chapter 7 (like child support).
You need an affordable alternative to debt settlement.
Yes, Chapter 13 costs more in legal fees and takes longer, but when it fits your goals, it’s worth every penny.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Not necessarily. Many people keep their homes by using legal protections or by filing Chapter 13 to catch up on missed payments.
No. Your score may dip at first, but most of our clients start rebuilding quickly. Many even get new credit card offers within months after receiving their discharge.
Nope. Once your case is filed, an automatic stay goes into effect, which legally stops calls, letters, garnishments, and lawsuits. All creditor communication is routed through your attorney.
You might! Even if you think your income is “too high,” an experienced attorney can often find deductions or adjustments that make you eligible.
