Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is sometimes referred to as a straight bankruptcy. It is available to individuals and businesses who qualify to have their debts discharged through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Basically, you are permitted to keep a substantial part of your assets, and take your remaining assets, if any, to be divided by your unsecured creditors. Not everyone qualifies for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. You should consult a bankruptcy attorney to determine if you qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and if it is the right option for you.
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
Chapter 11 bankruptcy is the section of the bankruptcy code that allows businesses to reorganize. Under Chapter 11 bankruptcy you may be able to renegotiate contracts and leases. Your business is afforded an opportunity to devise a business reorganization plan that will benefit you and your creditors and may allow your business to continue, even though your company is riddled with debt. In addition, often times, part of the debt can be reduced or eliminated. You should consult a bankruptcy attorney to determine if a Chapter 11 bankruptcy is right for you.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is sometimes referred to a personal reorganization. Typically, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows individual debtors to reduce or eliminate debt, and then structure a plan to make payments over three to five years to a Trustee for distribution to creditors. At the end of the period, your bankruptcy is complete and you are discharged from your debts.
We also provide creditor representation in bankruptcy, including protecting their security interests, handling valuation issues, and protecting creditors against bankruptcy fraud.
