Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Filing for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code allows an individual to reorganize past due and current debt into a manageable repayment plan that usually lasts three to five years. Although for some clients, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is more appropriate, a Chapter 13 personal bankruptcy is occasionally beneficial, because it:

• Implements an automatic stay which deters creditors from seeking repayment through litigation
• Stops foreclosure on your home - if you file before the Sheriff's sale
• May allow you to keep your home
• May allow you to keep your car
• May allow you to recover a repossessed vehicle
• May resolve tax problems
• Discharge divorce obligations to pay debts that are not alimony or support (which are not dischargeable in a chapter 7)

Chapter 13 Repayment Plan

Chapter 13 is an unsecured debt consolidation plan which allows you to repay debt over a longer period of time than outside bankruptcy for debts like past due mortgage payments, car payments, tax payments and back support payments. The debtor pays one monthly payment to a trustee who then disburses payments to creditors. The monthly payment is your disposable income, which is the difference between your take home income and your necessary living expenses.

Experienced Debt Relief Assistance

As an experienced bankruptcy lawyer, I help clients evaluate their circumstances and determine whether Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy is most appropriate. I analyze their financial situation and discuss their goals with them, through the filing of a petition, getting a Chapter 13 Plan confirmed, and representation as needed for the life of the Chapter 13 Plan as any issues arise.
