Trusted Chapter 7, 11 and 13 Bankruptcy Lawyers in West Central Florida
Our bankruptcy and debt relief practice includes personal bankruptcy and business bankruptcy services:
- Personal Bankruptcy: Major drivers for seeking debt relief involve the threat of legal judgments and wage garnishments, a need to save your home from foreclosure, financial fallout from a divorce, medical bills or other pressures.
- Business Bankruptcy: A bankruptcy filing may allow you to eliminate some debts and pay others over time while maintaining control of your own business decisions and operations.
- Chapter 11 bankruptcy: Chapter 11 is a debt reorganization plan for businesses and high net worth individuals. It enables business owners to continue operating an insolvent business while working to reorganize and regain control of business finances.
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy: Called the wage earner's plan, Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows individuals to regain control of their finances. Individuals consolidate and pay back a portion of their debt over three to five years — without incurring penalties or interest on prior defaults, such as a defaulted mortgage. Chapter 13 bankruptcy stops foreclosure and enables individuals to keep their home.
- Chapter 7 bankruptcy: Chapter 7 bankruptcy wipes the slate clean. It eliminates a significant amount of your debt. Credit card debt, medical bills and other forms of debt can be eliminated, and you do not have to pay it back. Chapter 7 bankruptcy stops creditor harassment and collection efforts, and it provides you with a fresh financial start.
- Bankruptcy litigation: Many bankruptcies occur because of litigation. Our team of trial attorneys can resolve disputes that led to the bankruptcy or arise as part of the bankruptcy proceeding.
- Assignments for the Benefit of Creditors (ABC): This process allows businesses to liquidate assets in order to pay creditors without filing for bankruptcy.
Our bankruptcy attorneys will listen to your concerns, review your situation and explain your options. We will explore alternatives to bankruptcy when they make sense for you. We use both internal and external resources to run the numbers and determine if, for example, a business could avoid bankruptcy by restructuring the business' financial affairs.
