Work with a
Bankruptcy Lawyer to Improve Your
Financial Future
Financial struggles can feel overwhelming, and bankruptcy is often the last resort to regain control over your life. Whether you’re facing unmanageable debt, foreclosure, or creditor harassment, bankruptcy provides a legal path to debt relief and a fresh financial start.
At The Grande Law Firm, we understand that each client’s financial situation is unique, and we’re committed to helping you find the best solution for your needs. As your bankruptcy lawyer, we will guide you through the complexities of Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, ensuring that you feel supported and informed at every step.
What is
Bankruptcy?
Bankruptcy is a legal process designed to help individuals and businesses eliminate or restructure their debt when they can no longer meet their financial obligations. It provides relief from overwhelming debt and offers a fresh financial start, stopping creditor actions such as:
Wage garnishment
Foreclosure
Collection calls
There are two primary types of consumer bankruptcy:
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy (Liquidation)
Liquidation in Chapter 7 bankruptcy refers to the process of selling non-exempt assets to pay off creditors. In simple terms, it means converting some of your assets into cash to settle your debts. However, most people who file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy are able to exempt or protect their most important assets, such as their home or car, and avoid liquidation of those assets.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy (Reorganization)
Chapter 13 bankruptcy, on the other hand, allows individuals with a regular income to create a repayment plan over 3 to 5 years, enabling them to keep their property while paying off part of their debt.
Types of Bankruptcy
We Handle
At The Grande Law Firm, we handle various types of bankruptcy, depending on your unique needs.
Here are the main types we assist with:
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy (Liquidation)
Eligibility
- This option is available for individuals who meet income qualifications and pass a means test, which determines if your income is low enough to file for Chapter 7.
- Chapter 7 involves selling non-exempt assets to pay off creditors, but in most cases, individuals are able to exempt their assets and avoid liquidation.
How It Works
- Chapter 7 is a relatively quick process that offers immediate relief from creditors, allowing you to eliminate most unsecured debts (like credit cards and medical bills).
- The debt discharge typically occurs within 3 to 6 months after filing.
Benefits of Working with a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorney
- Quick relief from creditors and collection actions.
- A fresh start with the elimination of most unsecured debts.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy (Reorganization)
Eligibility
- This option is best for individuals who have a regular income but need assistance paying off their debts over time.
- It is also suitable for individuals whose assets exceed the amount allowed for Chapter 7
How It Works
- Chapter 13 involves creating a repayment plan that typically lasts 3 to 5 years. You will continue to make monthly payments, but you will be able to keep your property, including your home and car.
Benefits of Working with a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Attorney
- Protection from foreclosure, repossession, and creditor harassment.
- Flexible repayment plans based on your income.
- Debt reduction through the process of debt restructuring.
Business Bankruptcy (Chapter 11 and Chapter 11 Subchapter V for Businesses)
Eligibility
- Available for businesses that are struggling with debt but still have the potential to remain operational.
The Process of Working with Business Bankruptcy Attorneys
- Working with a chapter 11 bankruptcy attorney allows businesses to restructure their debts and continue operating under a court-approved plan.
- Chapter 11 Subchapter V provides a streamlined process for small businesses to reorganize and reduce debt.
