Dealing with Debt

To help you achieve financial freedom, we need a clear picture of all of your debts, including that arising from credit card debt, medical bills and other outstanding debts. We can help you get ready for bankruptcy by collecting all your financial records. Once we have a list of your debts, we can help you eliminate them through Chapter 7 or restructure them through Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

After thoroughly examining your financial situation, we can help you decide which type of bankruptcy is right for you. We will explain the differences between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 and help you determine if you qualify for Chapter 7, a liquidation bankruptcy.

Through Chapter 7 you can discharge unsecured debts like:

  • Credit card debt
  • Utility bills
  • Medical expenses
  • Past rent

If you do not qualify for Chapter 7 under the means test or you have significant assets, we can help you investigate the possibility of creating an affordable repayment plan for your debts through Chapter 13. Also known as "reorganization bankruptcy" or "wage earner" bankruptcy, Chapter 13 allows you to pay back a percentage of your debts over three to five years.

However complex your debt issue, we will work with you to manage it. You can rely on us to pursue the best possible outcome for you. Contact us today to discuss your case. Send us an e-mail or call us at 314-549-8985.
