Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorney

Your Fresh Start Begins Here

You’re not just filing paperwork—you’re reclaiming control of your financial future. When creditors stop calling and wage garnishments end, you’ll finally sleep through the night again.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy can eliminate most of your unsecured debts in as little as four months. Credit card balances, medical bills, and personal loans disappear completely. Chapter 13 reorganizes your debts into manageable payments while protecting your home from foreclosure.

The automatic stay kicks in the moment we file your case. Creditor harassment stops immediately. Foreclosure proceedings halt. Wage garnishments end. You get breathing room to rebuild without the constant pressure of collection calls and legal threats.

File for Bankruptcy Process

Simple Steps to Debt Freedom

Your bankruptcy case starts with a free consultation where we analyze your debts, income, and assets. We’ll determine whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 makes more sense for your situation and explain exactly what to expect throughout the process.

Once you decide to move forward, we gather the required financial documents and prepare your bankruptcy petition. The automatic stay goes into effect immediately upon filing, which means creditors must stop all collection activities that same day.

You’ll attend a brief meeting of creditors about a month after filing—we’ll be there with you to handle any questions. In Chapter 7 cases, you typically receive your discharge in about four months. Chapter 13 cases involve a payment plan lasting three to five years, but you keep your property and catch up on missed mortgage payments over time.

Debt Relief Lawyer Services

Complete Bankruptcy Protection Available

We handle both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases for individuals and married couples. Chapter 7 eliminates most unsecured debts completely, while Chapter 13 creates a manageable repayment plan that protects your home and other assets.

Foreclosure defense is often part of our bankruptcy representation. If you’re behind on mortgage payments, Chapter 13 can stop foreclosure and give you up to five years to catch up on missed payments while keeping your home.

Small business owners facing overwhelming debt have options too. We can help you close a business through Chapter 7 or reorganize business debts through Chapter 11 or Chapter 13, depending on your situation. Medical debt, credit card balances, and personal guarantees on business loans can often be eliminated entirely.

How quickly can bankruptcy stop creditor calls and wage garnishments?

The automatic stay goes into effect immediately when we file your bankruptcy petition—usually the same day or within 24 hours. Creditors must stop all collection activities, including phone calls, letters, wage garnishments, and bank account levies. If a creditor contacts you after filing, they’re violating federal law and could face penalties. We notify your employer right away if wages are being garnished so they stop the deductions from your next paycheck. The relief is immediate and comprehensive.
Most people keep their homes in bankruptcy, especially if you’re current on mortgage payments. New York’s homestead exemption protects significant equity in your primary residence. If you’re behind on payments, Chapter 13 bankruptcy can actually save your home by stopping foreclosure and giving you up to five years to catch up on missed payments. We review your mortgage balance, home value, and payment history during your free consultation to determine the best strategy for protecting your property.
Chapter 7 eliminates most unsecured debts completely in about four months, but you must pass a means test based on your income. Chapter 13 creates a payment plan lasting three to five years where you pay back a portion of your debts based on what you can afford. Chapter 13 is often better if you’re behind on mortgage payments, have significant assets to protect, or earn too much for Chapter 7. We analyze your specific situation to recommend which chapter gives you the best outcome.
Attorney fees vary depending on whether you file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 and the complexity of your case. Chapter 7 cases typically have lower upfront costs, while Chapter 13 fees can often be included in your payment plan. We offer payment plans for attorney fees because we understand you’re filing bankruptcy due to financial hardship. The court filing fee is set by federal law—currently $338 for Chapter 7 and $313 for Chapter 13. We discuss all costs upfront during your free consultation so there are no surprises.
Yes, bankruptcy typically eliminates medical debt and credit card balances completely. These are considered unsecured debts, which means they’re not backed by collateral like a house or car. In Chapter 7, unsecured debts are discharged entirely. In Chapter 13, you pay back only what you can afford over three to five years, and the remaining balance is forgiven. Medical debt is one of the leading causes of bankruptcy filings, and the law specifically protects people from being trapped by healthcare costs they can’t control.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy appears on your credit report for 10 years, while Chapter 13 appears for 7 years. However, the individual debts included in your bankruptcy are removed much sooner—typically within 2-4 years. Many clients see their credit scores improve within 12-18 months after filing because their debt-to-income ratio improves dramatically. You can often qualify for a mortgage 2-3 years after bankruptcy discharge if you rebuild credit responsibly. The temporary credit impact is usually worth the permanent debt relief you receive.
