Chapter 7

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the most common of bankruptcy filings. Often defined as the “liquidation of assets,” filing for Chapter 7 forgives unsecured debt, allowing the debtor to begin anew. Individuals, married couples and companies are eligible for this type of filing. A trustee is appointed to sell the debtor’s assets for payment of debts, though federal and state law exemptions allow for retention of a primary residence and basics such as clothing.

In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you keep your property, but pay back all or a portion of your debts over a three to five-year period. This is unlike Chapter 7 bankruptcy, where most of your debts are cancelled but you may have to surrender some property to the bankruptcy trustee to pay your creditors. Because you end up paying most of your debts over time in Chapter 13 bankruptcy, it is also called reorganization bankruptcy

Will I get the same service at your law firm as other law firms that charge twice as much? We do hear this question occasionally and understand where our clients are coming from and why they ask this question. First, as of the writing of this post, we currently do no TV, Phone-book, or Billboard advertising whereas our competitors are pervasive with expensive and persistent TV ads, billboards, radio commercials, and full-page phone book ads everywhere you look.
