Bankruptcy law provides people with an opportunity to resolve their debts while being protected by the Bankruptcy Court from creditor harassment and collection activity. Bankruptcy may allow persons that have "fallen behind" on monthly payments to stop mortgage foreclosure and avoid repossession by permitting them to "catch up" with past due payments over a period of three (3) to five (5) years. We represent individuals in Chapter 7 liquidation and Chapter 13 reorganization, as well as creditors seeking to recover or preserve assets in bankruptcy. Common Questions and Answers about Bankruptcy Before an attorney can advise a person on whether he or she might be eligible to file for bankruptcy, it is necessary for that person to truthfully and fully disclose his or her financial circumstances and situation. At our law firm, we ask all prospective clients to complete and return a financial worksheet before recommending an appropriate course of action. We can send this worksheet to you, along with additional information about bankruptcy, either by U.S. Mail or electronic mail. To begin this review process, simply contact our office to request this worksheet and bankruptcy information. Real Estate Law
