We take pride in providing each of our clients with an honest assessment of their individual financial situation. We are always straightforward and honest with our clients, and we are committed to finding the best solution to achieve a positive outcome.

You need to go into your bankruptcy with all the cards laid out on the table, with a full knowledge of what debt will be discharged through bankruptcy. Only then will you be able to make the right decisions, and we can help. In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, an individual will generally be able to discharge all of his or her unsecured debt. Student loans, child support payments, court-ordered alimony, fines assessed as a result of criminal charges and certain tax debts are not eligible for discharge through bankruptcy.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy gives debtors an opportunity to restructure their debt so that it can be paid over a 3-5 year period of time. Any debt that is not paid in full at the end of the restructured payment plan period will often be eligible for discharge. Most people will be able to discharge the majority, if not all, of their outstanding debt by filing for bankruptcy. To find out which of your debts may be eligible for discharge through bankruptcy, contact our firm now.
