What is Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy is a legal proceeding to help people who cannot pay their bills get a fresh financial start, while making a fair and equitable disposition among creditors. The right to file for bankruptcy relief is provided by federal law and all bankruptcy cases are handled in federal court.

Filing bankruptcy prevents all of your creditors from collecting debts from you, at least until your debts are sorted out according to the law.

When you visit our office, an attorney will sit with you, listen to you, and thoroughly explain the bankruptcy laws, focusing on your situation and the benefits (and consequences) of bankruptcy as it applies to you.

Our office has helped thousands of people from all walks of life avoid financial catastrophe, keep homes and cars, eliminate debt and restore their families’ financial health.

In the vast majority of bankruptcy cases, an individual is allowed to keep everything that they own.
