Chapter 7 Bankruptcy - Debt Liquidation
We Can Prepare You for Chapter 7
Available to both businesses and individuals, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation of your non-exempt assets. This property is then sold and the proceeds are used to pay creditors. All debts remaining after your assets are sold are completely discharged, leaving you debt-free.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy - Repayment Plan
We Can Prepare You for Chapter 13
With a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you agree to repay your creditors under a payment plan lasting approximately three to five years. All payments are made under the supervision of the bankruptcy court, with the opportunity to negotiate lower payments and reduce principal amounts.
