Questions
Can bankruptcy stop an active foreclosure?
Yes, filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy immediately halts foreclosure proceedings and allows mortgage arrears to be repaid over 3-5 years while maintaining current payments.
Will I lose my property in bankruptcy?
Chapter 7 allows exemption of essential assets under state law, while Chapter 13 protects non-exempt property through structured repayment plans approved by the court.
Are tax debts dischargeable?
Certain income taxes older than three years may be dischargeable through Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy when all required filings have been completed.
How long does bankruptcy stay on credit reports?
Chapter 7 remains for 10 years, Chapter 13 for 7 years, but many clients rebuild credit within 1-2 years through responsible financial management post-discharge.
Can student loans be discharged?
While challenging, our proven track record includes successful student loan debt reductions through adversary proceedings demonstrating undue hardship in bankruptcy cases.
What payment options exist for legal fees?
We offer flexible payment plans, emergency filing options, and transparent fee structures with no hidden costs for all bankruptcy and legal services.
