Filing for bankruptcy isn't a moral failure. It's a tool the law put there on purpose. We help you use it well.

Most of our bankruptcy clients walked in convinced something had gone permanently wrong. It hadn’t. The federal Bankruptcy Code exists precisely to give honest people a structured way out — and a path forward.

Chapter 7

A Chapter 7 filing can discharge most unsecured debts — credit cards, medical bills, personal loans — when income and asset tests qualify. For many filers, the case is over in under four months.

Chapter 13

Chapter 13 lets you reorganize debt into a manageable repayment plan over three to five years, often saving a home from foreclosure or a vehicle from repossession.

What we do first

Every consultation starts with a means test, a debt review, and a conversation about what you want your life to look like in twelve months. Only then do we recommend a chapter — or whether to file at all.
