Bankruptcy laws have recently changed. Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy is much more difficult and limited based upon your household size and annual current income. You must now meet certain income requirements to qualify for Chapter 7. If you are above that level, we analyze your assets and liabilities to determine if you can still qualify or if you should file under another chapter to obtain relief.

It has become more difficult to deal with your debts. You may qualify for federal bankruptcy protection. Each person's situation is different. We are a small firm that can offer you personalized attention.
Chapter 7: This is a process where consumers can eliminate their debts. The government has changed the law to limit eligibility to people who fall below a certain income level. This is ideal for individuals with limited assets and a lower income
Chapter 13: If you are not eligible for Chapter 7 or if you want to keep some of assets that would be lost under Chapter 7, you should consider Chapter 13. Under this process, you can restructure your debt and pay monthly payments to the court. This allows you to keep more assets.
