Our Practice
We handle all matters related to Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings, preparing and submitting all the documentation required to complete the process, and representing clients in all hearings or proceedings with creditors, the bankruptcy trustee or the court.
We will carefully review your income and obligations, so that we can determine whether you meet the "means test" under the law and qualify for Chapter 7 protection. We will help you protect exempt assets, so that you keep as much property as possible. We will also make certain that you understand which debts can and cannot be extinguished in a Chapter 7 proceeding, so that you get the benefit you need and expect.
Examples of dischargeable and non-dischargeable debts:
| Debts that CAN usually be discharged: | Debts that CANNOT usually be discharged: |

Whether your debt became unmanageable because of injury, illness, divorce, the loss of a job, or any other reason we can help you take the steps necessary to wipe out unsecured obligations. Often, this can free up the funds to allow you to pay other bills. To learn more, see our page on credit cards and medical bills.
