The phone stops ringing with collection calls. You sleep through the night without worrying about foreclosure notices. Your paycheck stays in your account instead of disappearing to minimum payments that never seem to make a dent.
That’s what bankruptcy protection actually does. It gives you legal tools to either eliminate debts entirely through Chapter 7 or create a manageable payment plan through Chapter 13 that fits your actual income.
You’re not just buying time or shuffling payments around. You’re using federal law designed specifically for people in your situation to get a genuine fresh start.
The Frank Law Firm P.C. has been helping Long Island families navigate bankruptcy for years. We understand the local procedures at Suffolk County bankruptcy court and work with the same trustees and judges regularly.
You’re not getting a generic bankruptcy mill approach. You’re working with attorneys who know how things actually work in your local court system and can guide you through each step without surprises.
We’ve seen every type of financial situation that brings people to our office, and we know exactly which bankruptcy chapter makes sense for your specific circumstances.
First, we meet to review your debts, income, and assets to determine whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy makes more sense for your situation. This consultation is free because we want you to understand your options before making any decisions.
Next, we prepare and file your bankruptcy petition with Suffolk County bankruptcy court. The moment we file, creditors must stop all collection activities by law. No more calls, no more garnishment threats, no more foreclosure proceedings.
Then you attend a meeting of creditors, which sounds scarier than it is. We prepare you for the questions and attend with you. Most meetings last about five minutes.
Finally, you receive your discharge order from the court. Chapter 7 cases typically complete in 3-4 months, while Chapter 13 cases involve a 3-5 year payment plan that eliminates remaining debts at the end.

We handle both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases, plus foreclosure defense when you need to protect your home. Chapter 7 eliminates most unsecured debts like credit cards and medical bills in about four months. Chapter 13 creates a payment plan that lets you catch up on mortgage payments while eliminating other debts.
If you’re facing foreclosure, we can often stop the process and negotiate alternatives or buy you time through bankruptcy’s automatic stay protection. Many Setauket homeowners don’t realize they have options beyond just walking away from their property.
We also handle the paperwork, court filings, and communication with creditors so you can focus on moving forward instead of managing the legal process. You get updates on your case status and clear explanations of what happens next at each step.
