BANKRUPTCY LAWYER
IS BANKRUPTCY RIGHT FOR YOU?
Bankruptcy is a legal way for people who are no longer capable of paying back their bills to clear these debts and start over. Chapter 7 is a highly preferred bankruptcy provision. Nearly 65% of all U.S. consumer bankruptcy filings are Chapter 7 cases. For many Americans overwhelmed by debt, Chapter 7 bankruptcy can be a powerful tool for getting you back on track.
Bankruptcy works quickly to dissolve unsecured debts such as medical and credit card bills. Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy, some of your assets might be liquidated to pay off these debts. Once your case has been discharged, all remaining unsecured debts will be eliminated.

CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY
WHAT IS CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY
Chapter 13 allows people with a steady income to keep property, like a mortgaged house or a car, that they might otherwise lose through the bankruptcy process.
Chapter 13 will allow you to keep your property and repay your debts out of your income IF the bankruptcy court approves a repayment plan that allows you to use your future income to pay off your debts during a 3 to 5 year period, rather than surrender any property. After you have made all the payments under the plan, you receive a discharge of your debts.
WHO CAN FILE CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is certainly not for everyone. Not only must you be able to pay for your monthly living expenses, but you must also be able to meet your court-mandated payment obligations. If your income is minimal or inconsistent, or if your total debt is too high, the court may forbid you from filing Chapter 13.
CHAPTER 13 IS BEST SUITED FOR PEOPLE WHO
Are behind on payments on secured property that they want to keep.
Have tax debts that cannot be discharged in a Ch 7 bankruptcy case.
Have debts that are NOT too high.
Have non-exempt property that they want to keep.
Have filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy within the previous eight years, and thus are not eligible to file Ch 7.
