Our Georgia Bankruptcy Practice Areas
We offer comprehensive, full-service bankruptcy representation to clients in Atlanta and the surrounding communities. We offer personalized, skilled service in the areas of:
Personal bankruptcy — There are two options for individuals who need bankruptcy protection. Chapter 7 involves the elimination of unsecured debt, and requires the applicant to meet a means test in order to qualify. Chapter 13 allows you to reorganize your debt into manageable payments and avoid high interest rates. There are important differences between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13, and we will help you choose the right option.
Stopping judgments and debt collections — By filing for bankruptcy, you can protect yourself from those who have judgments against you, and you will have a lawyer to help you deal with debt collectors. In addition, a bankruptcy filing can:
- Stop foreclosure
- Stop wage garnishment and liens
- Stop car repossession
- Stop creditor harassment
Managing high interest debt — Perhaps the most common source of serious financial problems is overwhelming credit card debt. Filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy can eliminate credit card debt, medical bills and other unsecured debt, and Chapter 13 gives you a plan for paying back that debt on favorable terms.
Learning what debts bankruptcy can address — We will help you understand what types of debt are dischargeable and which are not. We will explain how bankruptcy can help with:
- Tax debt
- Student loans, if exemptions apply to you
- Credit card debt, medical bills and other unsecured debts
- Mortgages, auto loans and other secured debts
- Exempting property, to let you keep as much of your property as possible
Divorce and bankruptcy — Find out how to deal with both the overlap between family law and bankruptcy as you go through the divorce process.
After Bankruptcy
There is no shame in seeking bankruptcy protection, and contrary to some popular beliefs, bankruptcy will not ruin your future. In fact, a properly filed bankruptcy can make your financial recovery quicker and give you a brighter future. We will counsel you on what your life and credit may look like after bankruptcy. We will also give you honest, complete answers to questions about rebuilding your credit.
Bankruptcy Alternatives
Bankruptcy is not for everyone, and the decision to file is a major one. Before taking that step, we will help you decide whether you may be better served by seeking a loan modification or perhaps by entering a debt settlement plan with your creditors.
