Understanding Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy is a legal process designed to help individuals and businesses eliminate or repay their debts under the protection of the bankruptcy court. For individuals overwhelmed by insurmountable debt, declaring bankruptcy can provide a fresh start and a pathway to financial stability.

The two most common types of bankruptcy available to individuals are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13:

• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Often referred to as "liquidation" or "straight bankruptcy," Chapter 7 allows for the discharge of most unsecured debts. This type involves liquidating non-exempt assets to pay off creditors. It's suited for individuals with limited income who cannot pay back their debts.
• Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Sometimes referred to as "wage earner's bankruptcy," Chapter 13 involves creating a repayment plan to pay back all or part of the individual's debts, typically over three to five years. This option is ideal for individuals with a regular income and who do not qualify for Chapter 7.

To determine which type of bankruptcy filing you are eligible for, you will have to undergo a means test. Essentially, the means test compares your income to the median income for a household of your size in your state; if your income is below this median, you may qualify for Chapter 7. If not, you might still be eligible for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Why File for Bankruptcy?

Although filing for bankruptcy can be intimidating, it's often a viable strategy for dealing with unmanageable debt. By filing for bankruptcy, you may be able to halt foreclosure on your home, stop wage garnishment, and end harassing calls from creditors.

Though not required, working with an attorney during a bankruptcy filing is strongly recommended. An experienced attorney like ours can offer many benefits, including:
