Debt Relief

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Learn about the process of Chapter 7 personal bankruptcy, which can get rid of most kinds of debt and help you reclaim your financial future.


Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

In cases of Chapter 13 bankruptcy, we help clients discharge their debts at the end of a three- to five-year repayment plan. Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help you keep your house, your car and other exempt assets.


Chapter 12 Bankruptcy

Chapter 12 farm bankruptcy, is designed for “family farmers” or “family fishermen” with “regular annual income.” It enables financially distressed family farmers and fishermen to propose and carry out a plan to repay all or part of their debts. Under Chapter 12, debtors propose a repayment plan to make installments to creditors over three to five years. Chapter 12 farm bankruptcy is more streamlined, less complicated and less expensive than Chapter 11, and has some powerful tools for farmers that are not available in Chapter 13.


Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases are designed to help business and individuals who do not qualify for Chapter 13 to “reorganize” their debts.
