Experienced counselors explain your bankruptcy options
The U.S. Bankruptcy Code provides relief for businesses and consumers. Each has different eligibility requirements and different advantages in particular situations. Filing a bankruptcy petition automatically triggers an automatic stay, meaning creditors must immediately stop collections letters and phone calls. Our attorney corresponds with your creditors from the moment you file for bankruptcy and acts entirely on your behalf.
The most common forms of bankruptcy are:
- Chapter 7 bankruptcy — For individuals and their spouses who own fewer assets and earn smaller incomes, Chapter 7 bankruptcy grants you relief from debts through liquidation of your assets.
- Chapter 11 bankruptcy — For corporations, partnerships and sole proprietorships, Chapter 11 bankruptcy permits your business to continue operating while you pay creditors under a reorganization plan. (Our attorney will refer you to a specialist in Chapter 11)
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy — An option for families facing foreclosure or whose incomes are higher, Chapter 13 bankruptcy permits you to pay off debts under a court-ordered installment plan extending three to five years. This option provides numerous advantages, including the possibility of keeping your home.
Here at the Law Office of Bruce C. Barry, we put a focus on the consumer side by guiding you through the process of filing for Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
If bankruptcy is the right choice for you, we stay at your side, guiding you through the process from start to finish.
