Bankruptcy Practice Areas

Don't get confused by the bankruptcy laws in Florida. Hire an attorney from our firm to guide you step by step through the process and answer any questions and concerns you may have. We have extensive practice in all areas of bankruptcy law and can counsel you about how and when to file for bankruptcy. With our help, you can prepare for the means test so that you can determine your eligibility for bankruptcy. Depending on your results, you could qualify for Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Chapter 7 is for individuals with very little and unsteady income, or who have no income at all. All non-exempt assets will be liquidated to repay as much of the debt as possible, making it very important to hire a lawyer who understands the exemptions in Florida, since they vary from those listed in the United States Bankruptcy Code. Chapter 13 is also for individuals, but allows you to negotiate a repayment plan for the next three to five years, after which your remaining debt is discharged. Chapter 11 bankruptcy is for businesses and allows them to reorganize their debts without closing their doors.

When you file for bankruptcy, it appears on your credit report for 10 years. The benefits far outweigh the damages, however, since you will be able to rebuild your credit almost immediately after you file, so don't worry too much about bankruptcy and your credit score. Instead, speak with a lawyer to find out if any alternatives to bankruptcy are possible in your situation. Our team could help you negotiate a loan modification or purse debt settlement to resolve your issue. We also provide aggressive collections defense in case you are suffering from wrongful wage garnishment or other violations of your consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Contact our offices as soon as possible to learn how we can help you find relief from debt collection abuse, as well as from your overwhelming debts. There is the chance of a better life after bankruptcy, and we can help you pursue it!
