Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy provides immediate debt relief by eliminating unsecured debts like credit cards and medical bills. Our experienced attorneys guide clients through asset protection strategies while ensuring compliance with Arizona bankruptcy exemptions. This process typically concludes within 6 months, offering a swift path to financial freedom for qualifying individuals.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy creates structured repayment plans for individuals with regular income. Our team helps clients retain property while reorganizing debts over 3-5 years. This option is ideal for those facing foreclosure or needing to catch up on mortgage payments while maintaining homeownership.
Foreclosure Defense
Our foreclosure defense services protect Arizona homeowners through strategic bankruptcy filings and mortgage modification assistance. We specialize in stopping foreclosure proceedings at all stages while developing customized solutions to preserve home equity and ownership rights.
Wage Garnishment
We immediately halt wage garnishment through bankruptcy protection and legal challenges. Our attorneys negotiate with creditors to establish fair repayment alternatives while ensuring clients maintain essential income for living expenses.
Credit Repair
Our proprietary credit repair program included with every bankruptcy filing accelerates post-bankruptcy credit recovery. Through personalized education and strategic credit-building techniques, clients typically achieve scores above 720 within 18 months, restoring access to favorable loan terms and financial opportunities.

Questions
What's the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy?
Chapter 7 eliminates most unsecured debts immediately, while Chapter 13 creates a 3-5 year repayment plan to reorganize debts while protecting assets.
Will bankruptcy stop foreclosure on my home?
Yes, filing bankruptcy triggers an automatic stay that immediately halts foreclosure proceedings and gives you time to catch up on payments.
Can I keep my car if I file bankruptcy?
In most cases, you can keep your vehicle through bankruptcy by continuing payments or modifying loan terms under Chapter 13.
How does bankruptcy affect my credit score?
While bankruptcy appears on credit reports for 7-10 years, our free credit repair program helps most clients achieve scores above 720 within 18 months.
What debts cannot be discharged in bankruptcy?
Child support, most tax debts, and student loans typically survive bankruptcy, but we'll help you create a plan to manage these obligations.
Can I afford bankruptcy attorney fees?
We offer flexible payment plans with no upfront fees, making bankruptcy accessible through manageable monthly installments.
