Her professionalism and client first approach is second to none.

The Benefits of Filing Bankruptcy
What filing actually does for you.
Every case is different and these are the ordinary effects of a filing rather than a promise about yours. We’ll explain which of them apply to your situation before you decide anything.
How Chapter 7 works- Automatic Stay from collection activities.
- Stop foreclosures.
- Save your home and vehicles.
- Be debt free in approximately 90 days (Chapter 7).
- A 3 to 5 yr Plan of reorganization allowing you to catch up your mortgage and vehicle arrears (Chapter 13).
- Discharge credit card debt, payday loans, judgments, medical bills and certain taxes.
- Retain protected assets including homes, cars, and personal belongings.
- Stop harassing phone calls.
- Stop bank account garnishments.
- Debts discharged in bankruptcy are NOT considered taxable income.
- Immediately after discharge start rebuilding credit.
- Live a normal life again.
What to expect
How long this takes
No two cases are identical, and these are the ordinary timelines rather than a guarantee. Most people are surprised how short the road is.
-
Day 0
Your case is filed
Once a case is filed, an injunction or “automatic stay” goes into effect prohibiting creditors, landlords, spouses, and government entities from taking any further collection action. A foreclosure or a paycheck garnishment is halted.
-
Within 45 days
Section 341: Meeting of Creditors
A trustee goes over the information I prepare on your behalf to confirm compliance with the bankruptcy code. Attendance of creditors at this meeting is uncommon and the meeting generally goes by quickly with documents in good and proper order.
-
About 60 days later
Discharge (Chapter 7)
When no one objects, people commonly receive a Notice of Discharge by U.S. Mail about two months after the 341 meeting. Certain debts cannot be discharged, such as alimony, child support, student loans and certain taxes.
-
3 to 5 years
Or a Chapter 13 plan runs its term
You pay your disposable monthly income into the plan for 36 to 60 months while catching up mortgage and vehicle arrears. At the end, the remainder of non-priority, unsecured debt is discharged.
