NEGOTIATORS OF DEBT RELIEF OPTIONS
Bankruptcy is not your only option. I often work with creditors to develop out-of-court solutions that avoid bankruptcy. Frequently, we can negotiate a smaller debt amount payable in more manageable monthly installments.
REPRIEVE THROUGH AUTOMATIC STAY
Filing a bankruptcy petition automatically triggers automatic stay, meaning creditors must immediately stop collections letters and phone calls. I correspond with your creditors from the moment you file for bankruptcy and act entirely on your behalf.
YOUR BANKRUPTCY OPTIONS
The U.S. Bankruptcy Code provides relief for businesses and consumers. Each has different eligibility requirements and different advantages in particular situations. The most common forms of bankruptcy are:
For individuals and their spouses who own fewer assets and earn smaller incomes, Chapter 7 bankruptcy grants you relief from debts through liquidation of your assets.
For corporations, partnerships and sole proprietorships, Chapter 11 bankruptcy permits your business to continue operating while you pay creditors under a reorganization plan.
