Financial problems place a great deal of stress on all aspects of your life. If you are facing overwhelming debt and are considering filing for bankruptcy, enlist the assistance of an experienced and qualified bankruptcy attorney at the office of Lee Norton Bain, Attorney at Law.
We provide tailored assistance and representation to clients seeking the protection of a Chapter 7, 11 or 13 bankruptcy. Contact our Georgetown office today to discuss your specific financial situation in a free 30-minute consultation.
Chapter 7 is what most people think of when they think of bankruptcy — a "fresh start" with most types of debt completely wiped out. Although there are eligibility requirements, most people do qualify. We can explain the law and how it applies to you, including the means test and whether it impacts your eligibility for Chapter 7.
We will walk you through the Chapter 7 process, your options, explain which of your debts are eligible for discharge, and tell you whether any of your property would need to be sold to pay creditors.
Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection is a bit more involved than filing for Chapter 7 because it involves a court-supervised repayment plan. Your plan would last three to five years and is based on your ability to pay. Once you have completed the plan, your qualifying debts are legally considered paid — even if the plan did not completely pay them all.
Chapter 11 is the "reorganization" bankruptcy you sometimes hear businesses undergoing. In a few cases, however, individuals are also eligible for Chapter 11. Chapter 11 allows a debtor to propose a plan of reorganization to keep its business in operation with the goal of using the income produced to pay creditors over time.
