A Legal Way to Eliminate Debts and Get a Fresh Start
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is a fairly straightforward solution for many people who have more unsecured debt than they can handle. A Chapter 7 filing can provide a discharge of many debts, so you can meet basic financial obligations and enable you to return to meeting your financial goals. Having dealt with thousands of Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, our attorneys are well equipped to assess your situation, understand your priorities, and help you determine whether a bankruptcy option is a good exit strategy to resolve your financial concerns.
Ending Garnishments — Stopping Collection Calls — Preserving Key Assets
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is sometimes called a "debt liquidation" bankruptcy. It is the preferred option for many people because you can extinguish your debts without repaying your creditors. Your filing can also:
- Stop or prevent wage garnishments and free up bank accounts that have been frozen due to judgments against you
- Stop creditor harassment, with relief beginning as soon as we file your bankruptcy case
- Enable you to keep critical property and assets, including retirement accounts and life insurance policies, your home, a vehicle, and household goods, depending on your specific financial circumstances
At Macco & Stern, LLP, we will walk you through the required means test and carefully consider what assets you are trying to protect. We will be honest about what Chapter 7 bankruptcy can accomplish for you — and what it cannot do for you. You can count on us to determine whether Chapter 7, Chapter 13 "wage earner" bankruptcy, or another approach is best for your needs.
When struggling with debt, many people unwisely drain and liquidate retirement accounts, borrow from family and friends, sell assets, or take other desperate measures rather than consulting a bankruptcy attorney who could help them regain stability and preserve critical assets. We urge you to call 631-479-2869 or send us e-mail when your debts become too burdensome to manage.
We are a debt relief agency. We help people obtain relief under the Bankruptcy Code.
